Mutual Aid Hand
 Wins Compensation
Batten to Get Sc Weekly During Period of Incapacia.
 tiOn-BrOke Leg on Job

A member of the Mutual Aid Un- employment force in Waterbury is entitled to compensation for in- juries sustained in his work, even though he is performing service for a private individual according to a finding made this morning by Commissioner Leo J. Noonan in the case of Arthur Batten against the Mutual Unemployment Fund, Inc, of Waterbury.
 Objection to the payment of compensation to Batten was made by the insurance company which insures the workers of the unem- ployed force of Waterbury on the grounds that he was performing service for J. R. Mccarthy of 709 Waterville street. It was the in- surance company's claim as pre- sented by Attorney Richardson Bronson that Mir Mccarthy should pay the compensation due Batten.
 Batten sustained broken leg while engaged in painting a house owned by MT Mccarthy on Water vile street. He had been mem Der of the unemployed force for about three weeks when he sus- tained his injury. Attorney Timothy s. Sullivan appeared at the hear ing in behalf of MT McCarthy's in- terests.

New York, Sept 14.-(UP)- Selling quieted in the afternoon trading on the stock exchange to- day after an early market sup port, although there was no indi- cation of buying of any size any where else. Volume of trading slowed up as the session neared the end of the fourth hour. Earlier in. the day the market had been running at a fast clip, one period being at d rate of 5,000,000 shares fof a full day,
 Before the selling was arrested, the market was driven down to points the Dow-Jones industrial average made a new low since 1925 at 121.13 off 2.72 from Saturdays final; the railroad average made a new low since 1898 at 5S.1S off 1.26 and the utility average made a new low since the compilation began in the height of the bull market era at,49.24 off 1.52.

It was the contention of Attorney Bronson that MT Mccarthy should pay the compensation because it was for his individual benefit that Batten's work was being done. It was brought out by MT Mccarthy that Batten was sent to the Wa terville house by MT Connolly and MT Humphrey, foremen in the un- employed force. Attorney Sullivan called the courts attention to the statutes regarding the status of the loaned employe" where it points out that man in the employ of one company may be loaned to an- other company but the company doing the loaning is liable for any compensation that may arise as a result of the workman's occupa- ton.
 Commissioned Noonan found ac- cording to that ruling and ordered the insurance company to pay Bat ten $6 weekly during his incapacity and left the matter of specific dam ages to be decided upon later.
 During the argument Attorney Bronson pointed out that the com pany he was representing had other cases similar to the one in question where members of the unemployed force had been doing work for private individuals, but

Cardinal O'Connell Asked To Furnish
 Letters With Will

Cambridge, Mass. September IA - (UP) - Contestants of the will of Humphrey O'Sullivan, co-in- ventor of the rubber heel, took an- other step today in their fight to show that undue influence marked the disposition of his 100000 to $6,000, ,000 estate.
 The will, which made no specif- ic bequests, named William Car dinal O'Connell, Catholic arch bishop of Boston, as sole adminis- trator. A dozen heirs-at-law are contesting the unusual document.
 In Middlesex probate court here today, Attorney Jeremiah J. O'Sul- livan, contestant and senior coun- sel for his fellow contestants, filed a motion for production by Cardi- nal O'Connell of a letter or letters supposedly incorporated in the will.
 It was understood the contest ants believed that the letter or let ters, penned by the testator. might be interpreted to show undue in- fluence.
 The motion filed today cited the fifth clause of the will as follows: q have written a letter to my
