OPEN SHOPPERS IN SESSION AS
 THEY REPORT IT
Seventy of Them Get Together of All Hartford Industries, and
 Kid" Each Oother.

(Ohcial Report From the Officia,
 Open Shop Organ, 'The Hartford
 Courant.")
 The annual meeting and banquet oi The Hartford Open Shop Building | day evening at Heublein Hotel with
 more than 70 members and 6 guests present.
 l President P Stephen O'Brien called
 the meeting to order and after mak- ing his report asked for reports from
 the secretary treasurer and various committees. The secretary's report disclosed that the labor bureau secur- e demployment for more than 5000 | workmen during the past pear, and that this service is absolutely free to the workmen, expense of the bureau being paid for by members of l the exchange.
 After the election of officers, Pres ident O'Brien turned the chair over to James PoItens, newly elected pres ident, who addressed the meeting on matters of vital importance to the exchange. President Portens' talk showed a comprehensive study of the business problems confronting the members, and left no doubt in their
  change would be in capable hands during the coming year. James L.. Goodwin, president of The Manu | lecturers Association of Hartford county, complimented the exchange on the good work it was doing for Hartford county and gave assurance that 1t would have the continued SUD- port of the community. Samuel l.. Stone, president of Colt's Patent Fire Arms Mfg. Co., sounded note of warning in that the exchange must be prepared for emergencies, and not lulled to inactivity on account of its present strong and prosperous con dition, and that the way to avoid emergencies and critical situations was to be prepared for them. C. R Turner, president of the Elm p1oyers' Association of Hartford county, stressed the fact that the exchange must keep the work up to the high standards, and that the tradesmen must be trained to the highest point of efficiency.
 Clarence E, Whitney of the Whit ney Mfg. Co. spoke in a happy vein, and encouraged the members to CO operate i'll every way possible and to help each other whenever possible and by so doing they would strength len the organization
 Thomas J, Kelley, manager of the Manufacturers Association reviewed the history of the exchange from the days when it comprised but one lonely contractor with few associ-I ates and compared 1t with the pres ent powerful organization. MT. Kellep made the prediction that judging from the progress now being made that 1t would soon be necessary to hire the State Armory for the annual meeting of the exchange.
 The meeting came to close with a rising vote of thanks to the guests and speakers for their cooperation and support.
 P. s. A good time was had by all.

JOKE VICTIM IS
 ON COMPENSATION, SAYS COMMISSIONER
Man Who Got Dose of Itch Powder
 at Work Gets Paid for s Layoff.

Waterbury, Dec. 22.-A lengthy hear ing was heard before Compensation Commissioner Frederic M Williams, to decide of compensation of Sl4.81 should be paid Oscar Runciman of z3 Leflng we'll avenue as a result of an infection received i'll the employ of the Farrel Foundry and Machine company. The company contested the claim on the grounds that the infection resulted from "horseplay" and was caused by an itch powder thrown on Runcirnan while he was engaged in his work. In his deci- sion yesterday, Commissioned Williams stated that the legal aspects of the case involved an amount of discussion far beyond the financia importance of it.
 From the evidence submitted, it ap- peared that the claimant was engaged in his duties when he suddenly became aware of violent itching on his hand and at the same time he heard group of fellow employees aughing. It was also brought out that on number of other occasions empoyes had been similarly affected, the substance having been thrown or blown by someone with per veyed sense of humor. It did not ap- pear that any effort had been made by the respondent employer fo stop it until aftef an infection developed on Runci- mans hand, the following day.
 In his memorandum of decision, Com missioner Williams said, stthe evidence while not conclusive shows very strong probability that the infection took place in connection with the mans work It does not appear that he was exposed to any infection at home and 1t did appear that shortly after this occurrence he was doing pob which involved covering his hand and portions of his arms with dried grease that had been on machine in the respondents place for considerable length of time and might we'll afford culture medium for bacteria. While it is possible for bacteria to enter through a half follicle, it is much more likely that the scratching made a minute abra- sion not noticed at the time through which some bacteria entered, causing the ocalized abcess and disability"
 The finding stated that the supreme court has ruled that the victim on such an occurrance is entitled to compensa- tion when he himself is attending to his duties.
