Hartford, May ( N-Labor legis- lation of the general assembly which h now in its clos(ng days has much interest to the industrial worker be- cause of the bearing it has on his relationship to the employer.
 John J. Egan. secretary Of the Connecticut. Federation of Labor has made the following review Of iabor lcsislation for. the Associated Press:
 "Compensation amendments were to increase the amount for the loss of an arm from 20s weeks to 2zS weeks. The section pertaining to hernia has been changed so the in- capacity of the Injured workman may take place within one week from the date of the accident pro- vided he pfoves the hernia arose out of the injury; that it was accom- panied by evidence of pain: that he made report within two weeks after the date of the accident: that he did not have pre-existing her mia at or prior to the time Of the accident.
 "The change Is from the inca bac,.y being instantly to a period of one week. The change pertaining to the injured workman being entitled to the first weeks compensation is provided that he is injured for . period of four weeks instead of be- yond period of four weeks The change in the stoppage of compen- sation is such that now compensa- ton cannot be stopped unless the injured empioye and the commits sioner have been notified.

 Berlin. N. H.. May ( (UPl-1his little metropolis of tho north e3un- try was recovering today from the disastrous effects of . tornado whieh swept up the Androscoggtn river vt. ley late yesterday and looseA its fury upon Berlin's main street.
 More than . dozen buildings, in- cluding business blocks and maau. facturing plants, were ravased by the twister. which caused damage estimated at ti00.OO during . brief three-minute period of destructien.
 Only the fact that the freak wind- storm concentrated its force upon the business district along Main street and left the residential section unscathed prevented injuries or deaths among the inhabitants. It was the second time in less i than a week that . northern New England community had been struck by tornado, similar storm having caused $2o0.ooo damage in Swapton, Nt., last Friday.
 The businesr district was raped eff here today and police and Ire men guarded windowless stores. Main street was cluttersd with shat tered glass. fragments of roofs, and chimneys, and other debris. Approach of the tornado was watched with trepidatien by towns- people yesterday afterneon. It was reported that the black. low-hang- ing clouds of two storms appeared to converge over Berlin. loosing the wild wind that spread destruction in the business section.
 The Berlin House, the Interna- tional Paper company's plant, the Sheridan and Hodgdon blocks and the Northern Auto company's plant were considerably damaged.
 Electric light wires creased by the storm started . ire which partly destroyed the Abramson block. De- spite the furious wind, the flamsa were confined to that building.
 Another fire broke out in the Steady building when wires became twisted, but this blaze also was quickly controlled.
 The roofs of the Morin buildina and Berlin House were disIodeed but were not carried away. ousstu in tbe hotel were badly frishteasd but there was no panic.
 Half an hour after the twistef struck. an ironical sun was shining over the city. The t rdo took . rorthward course after hitting Ber- lin. Communities to the north re- ported no damage.
