Although a hearing was given several days ago on the claim of Harold Reed of this place for benefits under the workingman's compensation act as the result of illness which he claims was caused by an injury re- W ork at the plant of the Orient Music company of Forestville, interested parties are still awaiting d decision from Commissioner George B. Chan dier, who has the case in charge.
 At the commissioners office in Hart ford it was said yesterday afternoon that Mr. Chandler had not as yet madesan award and it was impossible to tell when his decision will be an- nounced
 Reeds claim was disputed by the Aetna Insurance company which in sures the Orient company under the compensation act, the claim being ad- vanced that the young mans illness
 was not attributable to his injuries. He had pneumonia, which Dr. J. c. Tanner, the attending physician, de- clared developed from an injury to
 one of his ribs.
 It Is reported that the case will probably go to the courts no matter Nhich side is favored in the commits sioner's decision.
 The hearing on the claim of A. A. Mcleod, cashier at the national bank, the commissioners secretary stated, l has been indefinitely postponed. Mr. 1 Mcleod asks for benefits on the strength of the statements that an
 operation for hernia whieil he recent 1 ly underwent was necessitated by a
 strain which he sustained in trying to open the vault in the bank few
 months ago. The Aetna insurance
 people contest his application on the grounds that he is not a workingman Mithin the meaning of the compensa- 1 tion act and that they should not be
 held responsible for doctors bills in-
 cured long after the accident. l To Occupy New House.
