Among the above 26 who are al. legged 10 be working in our factories q majority of therN are acknowledg- ed to be charity cases and i'll few instances some of the boy workers are entered as apprentices which in itself has an educational value.
 These children are not used on mechanical devices nor would the law allow them to work on certain lines of machinery and it is also il- legal to employ them over eight hours per day.
 If New Britain shows an exces- sive number of children employed, it certainly is not due to the manu- lecturers and considering the repu- tation which our city has as a man. ufacturing center, any man making such a statement, whether he be minister of layman, should at least explain that those upon whom the industrial life of the city depends, are not responsible for the employ ment of child labor.
 Trusting you will give this state ment the same prominence as was the one which called out this reply.

 DISCUSSED BY LABOR

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Jan. S.-M- Organized labors attitude towards the proposal to be made in the gen. eral assembly by the Manufac- turers' association of Connecticut. Inc, that changes be made in the worllmen's compensation law, was outlined by John J. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor in statement today. The manufacturers outline of the changes they propose was made on December 21 and was in the form of text of recommendations by the compensation committee of the organization with c. E. Whittlesey of Hartford as chairman. Y"
 Various conferences have been held between federation represent atives and members of the com mittee and it is understood that on many phases of the law as it stands there was no divergence of opin- ion
 But on many of the changes the manufacturers are to advocate or ganized labor will offer opposition and will put forward it's own claims for remedies,
 The manufacturers statement was preceded with the declaration that inequalities of the present law, which have worked hardship on both employe and employer, were responsible for the exhaustive studies which the committee tookr under vote of the association pass ed December I, 1925
 The statement of Secretary Egan for the Federation of Labor is in the nature of a reply to the manu- facturers' statement.
 Secretary Egan said that the United States reports show that manufacturers of the country made nearly six billion dollars profit in 1926, 'yet we find the Connecticut group of manufacturers objecting to our present compensation law because it is costing too much"

Carlton Street Children Discovered in Cellar by Older Brother as Fumes Make Them Dizzy.

Three little sons of Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Corbin of 251 Carlton street narrowly escaped asphyxia- ton while playing near leaky gas heater in the cellar of their home this morning, the timely arrival of their older brother as they were be- coming dizzy undoubtedly precluding a triple fatality. A short time after they had been revived, the young sters felt little effect of, their expe- 1ience.
 Shortly after o'clock, Harry and fAoward, .ttwins. aged G., aad George, agedx5. went into the cellar to play,
 me Willard, aged SA, remained With his mother, who was using a washing machine. The heater, which is of the automatic type, was giving off fumes but the children were unaware of the danger until Willard happened to go down cellar and detected the strong odor of gas. T feel dizzy" little Harry said, and Willard, using excellent judgment, told him to go upstairs to his mother at once.
 Stumbling into the kitchen, Harry collapsed at his mothers feet, and few seconds later. Howard, having been sent up by Willard, reeled into the house and fell across his broth CTS prostrate form. Mrs. Corbln, sensing what had happened. lost no time in carrying the twins to the porch, and as she went to work over them, little George, who had also been sent up by Willard, made his way out with weakening footsteps, and fell on his brothers.
 At S:25, Detective Sergeant w. r. McCue, in charge of police head quarters, was notified by telephone that the pulmotor was wanted, and he detailed Officers H. c. Lyon, J. c. Stadlcr, w. P. Hayes and Dame, Cosgrove in the patrol. On their arrival, the children had recovered their senses and were in bed, ap- parently none the worse for their experience. It was not necessary to use the pulmotor. The New Britain Gas Light Co. was notified and after the heater, workmen made recommendation intended to overcome the possibility of a recur- renee of the incident.
 To Willard goes the credit for avoiding the fatality, for had he not gone into the cellar and acted quick ly when Harry told him he was be- coming dizzy, the three boys might have died. The noise of the wash ing machine would have drowned their cries, had they Eeen able to make an effort to attract their mother.
