 BREAKS UP

 as to what was expected of them at
 the conference. They said they did | not know whether they were ito pre- sent a memorial, which they claimed | showed Germany's inability to pay | the reparations demanded in the | terms fixed by the supreme council | allied demands.
 ''Lt is what happened at Berlin
 where the final decision will be | taken,' said one of the German1 | which really matters" The French government was strongly represented at the confer ence by three of the most influential mem berS of her cabinet in addition to Premier Briand. Before entering the conference this morning Louis Lou cheur, Minister of Liberated Regions, said:
 we are ready to receive and cour- teously examine any proposal the Germans make regarding the terms and conditions for the payment of separations. It is not impossible that
 they hate something better to sug- gest than the allied terms, in which
 case, if it were equivalent to the glo- bal separations fixed in the Paris agreement, the allies will no doubt accept them but not one sou below the amount determined in Paris will
 be acceptable" e
 Premiere Lloyd George opened the
 
 mans that the conference first would take up the separations question and would then discuss disarmament.
 While pr. Sinons was making his statement Premier Brians was sketching on a pad of paper before
 him. He drew a caricature of him. self with long hair. and baggy trous- CTS. and wrote under it:
 '"The little Breton listening with curiosity to what the Roche have to say"
 M. Briand passed the drawing to MT. Lloyd George, who smiled and said:
 ''From the way things are going, in another ten minutes we shall have to
 pay.''
 Among the most important points
 in the proposals advanced by Dr. Si- mons were his insistence that the to- tai of Germanys obligations be defi-
 nite1y fixed and his representation that Germany was expected to reach her maximum capacity to pay in 1926, when the Germans propose an- other arrangement shall be entered into for payment of the remainder within thirty years.

 Continuing his review of the evil dence presented, the compensation deceased occupied the same contrac- tura1 relationship to the city that thousands of factory employees occupy with other employees; that his ap- works by authority of a city ordi- nance did not make him a public of ficer and that the title meant noth- ing"
 In conclusion, the award placed Burrel1 in the same category as a repairing highways, cleaning perma- nent pavements or doing any other work required by a city department.
 'The Compensation act was never intended to be interpreted technical 1y," is the finding of the commission CT, land surely it was not intended to take away rights from injured em- ployes, but rather to give them. The deceased was a faithful employe of Hhe City of Bridgeport for approxi- mately eight years and while per forming his duties was injured and subsequently, died as the result of this injury. Surely no technical inter pretation of the provisions of our Act could prevent his widow and de- pendent from receiving the compen- sation which is due"
 At the time of the injury Burrell was receiving $125 a month, but his salary was increased to $15O a month, April 1, 1920 Attorneys Reich and Reich, who presented a very able brief for the defendant, ar gued that the compensation should be based on the higher rate of pay, but this argument was overruled by the commissioner inasmuch as the law provides weekly compensation equal to half of the deceaseds earn ings at the time of his injury
