Awarded Compensation
 For Injury to Lungs

John I. Hallinan of this city was awarded compensation in the amount of sl62l a week from Feb ruary 16 for as long as his total dis ability continues but not to exceed 62o weeks by Commissioner Leo J. Noonan Wednesday as a result of the weakening of his resistance by breathing into his lungs the metal and emery dust in the polishing room of the Underwood Typewriting Co. of Hartford, where he has been employed for the past 20 years.

MAY BOOST COST
 0F SEEING MOVIES
Theater Men Say New Tax Will Affect Public

Local theater proprietors and managers are more or less up in arms over the signing this week of the motion picture tax bill by Gov. Trumbull. and declare that should tho bill go Into effect. as 1t now appears 1t will. an increase in the price of admissions wili be necessi- tated. As one local manager put tt, The people are always the goat. Pictures will cost us more because of the bill, and we cannot operate without an increase in revenue pro- portionate."
 The managers arc not 80 much incensed over the tax itself as they are over its size. They arc very en- phatic in declaring that s1O a real and 50 cents for each additional 100 feet. which is the amount of tax, is absolutely beyond all reason. One pointed out that the theaters in New Brtian alone each use anywhere from 30 to more than 40 reels a week and at s1o, he added. 1t takes no great mathematician to see that the owners will be burdened with another staggering operation cost, which 1t will take considerable of an increase in revenue to meet.
 Managers and proprietors through out the state are gathering now here and now there in a series of frenzied sessions to find some loop hole, some way to either defeat or get around successfully the provi- sions of the bill. but thus far their efforts have met with little or no success.
 Local managers attending these conferences will be back in the city tonight or tomorrow, and the results of their deliberations will then be made known.
