 ON COMPENSATION

 Favor of Laborer.

Williams of Water bury in the case of Chester Bieder- zycki against the Farrel Foundry & Machine company Biederzycki col lapsed with a hemorrhage of the throat and nose after E years serv- ice with the Farrell Foundry & Ma chine company, but was challenged in his demand for compensation on the grounds of a previous illness of the throat Commissioner Williams found that one-third of his incapacity was due to his employment and two thirds to pre-existing disease.
 Biederzycki had for many years been engaged in hard labor involv- ing a considerable amount of lift ing. On Oct. 30, in spite. of the fact that he did not that day do any heavy lifting, he suddenly collapsed and had a hemorrhage of the nose and throat. Since that time he has been incapacitated for performing the kind of work he had performed prior to the date of his collapse.
 Seen by a physician of Ansonia seen and examined by pr. Lynch, super intendent of the State Tuberculosis sani- tarium at Shelton. and examined by Dr. Wilder Tileston, clinical professor of medicine in the medical department at Yale, Biederzycki presented one of the most unusual cases ever heard in the compensation court He had suffered from diseased tonsils which had poisoned his entire system, and had

,HARDING'S PLAN
 TO PUT CRIMP IN
 RAILROAD GANGS

Here's what Harding would do with railroads:
 l. Creation of great government railroad corporations, similar in character to the emergency fleet cor poration.
 2. Federal condemnation of exist ing railroad corporations and acquisi- ton of the physical properties by forced sale, and
 5. Transfer of the physical prop critics to the government corporations which would give the government full power to merge whatever roads it pleased The lines later would be re- turned to private control by sale of bonds from the government corpora tionS.
 Needless to say it has raised a row-among grasping railroad heads and it's safe bet nothing will come of 1t therefore.

STATE CIVIL SERVICE BULLETIN
 RAPS POLITICAL SPOLS SYSTEM
Connecticut Association Scores Tenn pleton For Firing Good State
 Officials.

The Connecticut Service Association, in its latest bulletin, expresses hearty approval of Governor Templeton's s handling of the New Haven city court judgeship situation, but wallops him for other doings in political jobbery. The association says in its bulletin:
 "In one notable case, the partisan tendency which we have noted has been set aside. The two judges of the New Haven city court are, in contrast to their colleagues in other cities, appointed by the governor, and the purpose of this pro- vision was originally to eliminate par tisan considerations from appointments. '" The reports speaks of the practice nevertheless springing up of making the appointments from the dominant party and the development of rival factions in the party. "The discussion preceding the appointment of the judges this year in dicated revival of the old contest. Gov. Templeton, therefore, deserves credit for having, i'll appointing Judges Watrous and Chambers, disregarded factiona1 con- alterations completely, though both ap- pointees are members of the Republican party"

 A motion was sustained by Judge had been read by Daugherty, reviewing the case.
 "A careful investigation strongly sup ports the protest of the defendants that many of the things complained of by the government under the Sherman act, ,'' Daugherty said "were in no small measure due to the efforts of those who were government officials during the war to bring about more intensive CO., operation between operators, miners and railroads in the production, allotment and transportation of coal. "7
 Lack of evidence was assigned as the reason for the motion, the final phrase of the famous proceedings brought under the Sherman antitrust law and the Lever act in the last year of the administration of the department of justice by A. Mitchell Palmer
 The original indictments returned February 24, 1920, named 125 operators and union heads and arraignment was set for May 8, 1920, but a series of de- lays followed The grand jury returned new indictments naming all the original defendants together with others, making total of 127 individuals and oo cor porations
 The cases were never brought to trial because the government did not have sufficient evident to support the charges, according to Daugherty

 COMPANY IS NOT ANTI-UNION
Facts Remain, However, That $3,ooo,- GOO Company Is Run By Open Shoppers.

s New York, June 29.-Union labor IS now wondering whether the recently formed American Motion Picture Cor poration at $3,0O0O00 is gigantic machine for the spread of the open shop propaganda, or, as its sponsors claim, a patriotic institution which aims to promote Americanism by means of religious and educational films.

ager.
The Senior Glass, as usual, will
have charge of the paper this year.
Class editors will be appointed later.
At a meeting of the staff, held at
the home of Kathryn Whitman, 76 e.
Washington avenue, last Thursday
evening, plans for the publication of
the "Breeze" were discussed, and it is
quite probable that a Breeze Year
Book of considerable proportions will
be issued this year at the close of the
school term, instead of the spasmodic
issues that have been used in the past.
1t is the idea of the staff to produce
a book Of which the school can feel
proud, containing beside individual
pictures of the Senior Glass members,
group pictures of the other classes, and
of the various athletic teams of the
school. The book would also contain
a roster of all the classes, together
with the various class activities
throughout the year.
