 fixer, would have been to sit down and remain idle until such time as the f3er came around to fix the belt. From the testimony neither the overseer nor the f1xer could be found, and accord
 ing to their own testimony they were together on another floor of the mill at the time. How long. they were out of the room in question it would be impossible to say, as" no testimony
 was introduced upon that sEl5ect, but it would not be improbable to presume that if Bibeault had been found sit

The closeness of the connection be- tween the employment of; LeDuc on the cans and on this doubler machine on which he was injured is of very material importance.

 It is found that on the night in question (th2t is. the night of April 18th and the morning of April 18th, 1917,) the claimant was at work on the doublers until about midnight, at which time he ate his lunch and &a.er that was put on to the cards. About 1.30 a. m. another young boy named Bibeault, who worked in the same de- partment as LeDuc, sought the assist ance of the claimant in replacing a belt which had slipped off of the doubling machine which Bibeault was then operating. During the operation of trying to get the belt on again claimant received an injury consisting of four fractures of the right arm, the breaks being a couple of inches above the wrist in the lower forearm, in the elbow and about the middle of the upper arm.

BOY UNDERCOES TEN OPERATIONS
Seventeen YearO Youth Broke Arm in Four Places While Trying to Throw Belt on Machine in Goodyear Cotton Mils-Leo Leduc Awarded Compensation By Commis- sioner James J. Donohue

Leo LeDuc, a II year old youth, whose home is in Goodyear, and who has been employed by the Goodyear cotton mills of Killingly has been awarded compensation by Commis- sioner James J. Donohue of this city for injuries received some months ago, necessitating ten operations. The case is one of the most interesting cases yet heard by Commissioner Donohue, who announced his finding on Friday afternoon. The hearing was held on Dec. 1.
 From the testimony it is found that the claimant, Leo IeDuc, is IT years of age, and that he had been employed by the respondent company for about six weeks in their mill at Goodyear Said LeDuc worked nights, starting ill at 6.S0 D. n., and working until 6 o'clock the next morning
 It is further found that during the first two weeks of his employment he worked on the "doublers'' and then was changed to the cards and that he was changed from one line of work to the other at various times. While at work on the cards it was his duty to

and there is no evidence to show that he was neglecting his other work while he was helping Bibeault replace the
 belt. While it is admitted by the re- spondents that the work attempted was in the employers interest it was also in the interest of Bibeault, and
 was not of any interest to IleDuc him. self only a S would be expected by the mutual relationship of employees to as- sist one another when necessities arise. as it was admitted in the testi-
 lnony that each had helped the other
 on previous occasions.
 No Absent Without Leave

 an "absenee without leave in the pres ent case for claimants continuous en- | ployment, as the duties which he was performing, suffered in no way by his l doing, this extra work to help a fel- l tow e.nploye r | The work done by LeDuc in operat- 1 ing this doubleT machine only short | tina before and his being changed to i the cards Was so closely connected ] that it would be splitting hairs if Le- I Due had refused to assist Bibeault when he saw him under circumstances which it IS evident could be renedied by him. It is found that LeDuc had
 worked on tie same machine on which he was injured in the ne1ghborhood 1 of an hour before.

 vided a specially qualified fixer at this mill to fix the machine when in need of repairs and to replace belts whicf came off; all of which may be very true, but if the respondents were SC we'll aware of the fact that the belts came off frequently, especially on this particular machine Gas is shown by

law.
The surtax. if anv is due. is not as

is computed only on the net income

incomes of husband and wife are

With reference to the earnings OF
children, it is pointed out that the

handling of such a matter federal in

WI Illnesses IN
MARELLO CASE

Three witnesses. all who are avail
able, appeared before Coroner John
]. Phelan today to tell how Peter
Marello of 683 Barnum avanue came
to his death last Friday morning.
Marello was struck by southbound
trolley car in East Main street, near
Burroughs street, his skull fractured
and he died last night in the Bridge
port hospital without reganing con-
sciousness.
William Gilbert, of 1413 Main
street, motorman of the car, said he
was coming south in East Main
street and saw Marello running
toward East Main street, in Bur-
roughs street, without a hat, before
the car reached the cross street. He
said he rang the gong, applied ths
brake, and when Marello left the
walk shouted. Marello was struck by
the grab handle on the forward and
left side of the car, and thrown into
the street.
Thomas Walsh of S73 Broad street,
conductor of the car, and John Con-
neen, of sos Iranistan avenue, the
only passenger, corroborated the story
told by Gilbert in all essential deals.
Both estimated the speed of the car
at about IS miles, and told of being
thrown toward the forward end of the
car by the sudden putting on of the
brakes. The impact followed almost
Immediately afterward.
