PROMPT REPORTS WANTED
 FROM NEW HAVEN ROAD.
Has Been Slow in Reporting Accidents
 to Employees.

A hearing in the case of W. B. Miller Of Providence, formerly of New Lon don, was held Monday morning before Compensation Commissioner Dr. James J. Donohue in his office in the Central building. The claim is based on dis ability on account of specific injury and also a partial disability.
 MT. Miller, employed as a brakeman on the New Haven system, on a run between Providence and Midway, sus- tained injuries on Nov. 23, 1914, while stepping from one car to another and taking hold of brake which fell over, throwing him to the ground between the cars. MT. Miller sustained injuries on the left side of the face, back of the head and on the shoulder As a result of the fall it it claimed he lost the hearing in one ear and partially lost the hearing in the other ear. The injury was reported and claim for compensation made under the work mems compensation act
 One of the road claim adjusters made a settlement with MT. Miller for s400, and as this sum is not in accord with what he would be entitled to under the Connecticut workmen's cOmpensa- tion act, a claim was made by him for a hearing, and it was set down for Monday. By agreement of the attor- ant, and W. c. Mitchell for the rail- road. it was postponed until July 2.
 Attorney Mitchell of the road was sharply criticised previous to the hear ing for his failure to attend to the reports of injuries of employees, as by section 20 of chapter 13S of the public acts of 1913 there is a call for report of all accidents during the week in which an accident occurs, with any claims made for compensation, and as the records of the office show the road has been very dilatory in making such re- ports they were given to understand that in case of any future violations such cases will be turned over to the state attorney.
 Settlements were reached in two cases as follows:
 Mrs. Daniel O'Rourke of New Lon- don vs. Central Vermont Railway com pany. Allyn L. Brown was attorney for claimant and William J. Brennan attorney for respondent.
 John J. Collins of SaybrooI, former ly of New London, vs. Central Vermont Railway company. William J. Bren- nan was attorney for the Central Yer mont Railway company.
