 SLAIN POLICEMAN
Waterbury District Award First of Kind in State Sinuce Law
 Existed

Waterbury, March 22-The first award of compensation to the depend ents of a policeman killed while on duty i'll this state was made this week when Compensation Commissioner Frederic M Williams awarded Mrs. Katherine M. Tehan, widow of Police Lieut.. Finton Tehan, lump sum of $5,127.45.
 Lieut. Tehan was fatally injured Jan. "A when he was struck by truck on North Main street. He died few days later at the Waterbury hospital from the effects of fractured skull. Lieut. Tehan had been assigned to take charge of traffic work throughout the city preparatory to taking up the new post, when he was killed.

OSBORN UPHOLDS CONVICTLABOR AS
 NOW CARRIED ON
Editor in Letter to Gompers and Con- gressman Opposes Proposed
 Ban

Washington, D. C., March 22-Nor- ris c. Osborn, editor of the New Haven Journal Courier and president of the board of directors of the Connecticut State Prison has written to Samuel Gompers, president of the American tive Schuyler Merritt of Stamford, ex- pressing his opposition to the bill to exclude from interstate commerce good made by convict labor.
 The bill Is now under consideration by the House Committee on Labor, and is being supported by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. It would keep from interstate commerce all goods manufactured wholly or in part by the labor of convicts. Osborn represents the attitude of Connection, state officials, and states five reasons for opposition to the bill
 The present practice in Connecticut is to parole many convicts on cond1- ton that they find employment. These men are engaged in the production of many commodities, which form a con- siderable part of interstate commerce, but they are still convicts. If the bin were passed they could not find em p1oyment with commercial concerns, and under the state laws would be forced to return to prison confinement Osborn asserts.
 In comparison with the total value of all goods in interstate commerce, the value of the goods produced by convict labor IS so insignificant that it's effect on free labor is negligible, he declares.
 Small states would be put under a great handicap by the measure, accord ing to Osborn, as they would have to dispose of the products of their prison shop with ntheir own confines. Con recticut, any many other states, mate rally lower the cost of operation of their penal institutions by the sale of goods made by convict labor and lie wants 1t continued.
