Calls Attention to Needs
of Poor of the
Diocese
A TIMELY LETTER

Lest we forget, the Catholic
Transcript Of this week carries the
following reminder from Bishop
Milan In its editorial column:
Our Holy Father In his recent
Encylical Letter requests q special
observance this year of the Feast
of the Sacred Heart with It's &C.
tave, in the form of q Crusade
of Prayer and Penance.
In compliance with this request
of Our Supreme Shepherd / here
by exhort the faithful of the do
cese to enter fully into the spirit
of this Crusade. Our Holy Father
especially requests abstentoin from
all forms of amusement and that
the saving thus effected be devoted
to the relief of the poor. Further
more, frequent reception of the
Sacramento of Penance and Holy
Eucharist, together with fervent
prayers during this period of
eight days, will do much to draw
down special blessings of Heaven
and to obtain for the world that
relief which unaided human en-
deavor cannot possibly provide.

Commissioners Says
Glodenis Case Is
Vivid Example
Workman Wins S9,O4S Award Although Donahue

The claimant Is to be paid COM

a period not to exceed $40 weeks.
dating from December II, 1880,
the day on which the claimant
collapsed at work, and from which
date he has not worked.
Attracting considerable attention
the whole case hinged on whether
the claimant was incapaciated from
lead poisoning. 1t was called The
Lead Poisoning Case. Attorney
Clayton l.. Klein appeared for the
claimant and Attorney William j.
Larkin Jr, appeared for the re-
spondent company.
Evidence was introduced show
ing tho claimant, a man SO years
old, had worked for the American
Brass Company as a caster for %
years. Five years ago, the COM
pany installed electric furnaces in
the shop to take the place Of the
hand furnaces. Commissioner Dom
ohue finds that the electric furn-
aces and modern equipment cause
much more fumes to be permeated
than during the regime Of the hand
furnaces which had chimneys which
carried away the smoke. He also
finds there was much more lead
hazard under the new equipment
than there was under the old. He
states 1t is significant that the re-
spondent company has improved
conditions in the shop since TIE
claimant filed hist claim, chic
among the innovations, being the
removal of the furnaces from in
side to outside the shop.
DR. John II. Foster of Yale and
DR. Joseph C. Aube, professor at
Harvard and author Of a book on
lead poisoning, were introduced to
testify during the hearing, both
stating that the claimant was suf-
fering from lead poisoning.

Commissioner Donohue, substi-
tuting for Commissioner Frederic
M. Williams who disqualified him
self, criticises the length OF the
hearing, which lasted four days
with expert testimony being offered
by Yale and Harvard professors. 1t
Is in reference to the length of the
hearing that Commissioner Dom
oilue made the statement about the
compensation act being destroyed.
He adds further, During my time
as compensation commissioner, ap-
proximately Ia years, no case has
taken the time and put the burden
OF expense on the claimant that
the present one has. The purpose
OF the compensation act was to
avoid litigation, not promote It,.
and It appears from all the medical
evidence and the conditions sur
rounding the claimant that COM
pensation should have been paid
him in an agreement after an in
rather than such pro-
longed litigation"

chine, from which he has been
completely ASSOCIATED during, his
career as a prosecutor. Alcorn did
not hesitate to bring the names
of prominent republican state Off

brought out several officials and

strayed to Governor Cross in the

Prior to Introduction of Alcorn's
name into discussion of thee re-
publican candidate 1t had been
taken for granted that Lieutenant
Governor Samuel II. Spencer,
bearded, dignified descendant of
Connecticut's early settlers and
Alcorn's next -door-neighbor In
Sutfield, would be the standard
bearer. There had also been some
discussion Of drafting former Gov
ernor John II. Trumbull, the popular
"flying governor" who served two
terms before Governor Cross, but
the Plainville manufacturer seems
content with private life.
The republicans are believed
sure TO place O dripping wet plank
In their state platform this year,
although Roraback insisted on a
straddle two years ago. They are
looking for q candidate with suf-
fic1ent vigor and personality to
overcome the general democratic
trend which has been evident in
Connecticut in the last two years.
They believe they can capitalize
this fall on the "old guard" and
NEW guard" bitterness In the DEM
ocratic ranks II their candidate has
sufficient personal appeal.
