Much Interest Evinced Due to Fact That It Marked First Time in Connecticut History That Youth of IS Was Tried on Criminal OfenSe

Cheshire reformatory. Attorney W. W. Gager. public defender will argue the appeal in behalf of the accused and States Attorney Law renee l.. Lewis will argue that the sentence stand.
 Much interest throughout the state is manifested in the case, be- cause it marked the first time in the local superior court history that a youth of iJ was tried on d criminal offense. Ebert was charged with criminally attacking a house maid and was brought into superior court after his arrest for trial. After he was found guilty, he was then 15, sentence was de- ferred until March 17th, the date on which he became 16.
 Attorney Gager in his appeal argues that the superior court had no jurisdiction in the case and that his case should have been handled in a juvenile court. He points out in his appeal that the purpose and end of the juvenile law is to re- move a person under 16 from the possibilities of criminal proceed ings. Briefs will be filed and oral arguments will be made prior to June 18th.

PROPOSED WAGE
 CUT. VOTED DOWN
Conn Co Employees Regis ter Almost 100 Per Cent
 Against Proposition
UP TO STATE BOARD

Having flatly declined volun- tary acceptance of q 25 per cent cut in wages as offered by the Connecticut company trolley em- ployes now await the formation oi q state board of arbitration.
 In the statewide balloting cons ducted Friday afternoon and eve ming and until 1 o'clock Saturday morning not more than five em- ployes throughout the state voted in favor of accepting the com pany's proposition. According to semi official reports Waterbury was 100 per cent opposed to the proposal.
 The next move Is to organize a state board to arbitrate the matter. The Connecticut company will name it's representative and the trolley employees select their dele gate and the two will name the third members of the committee.
 If this arrangement fails to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of the ticllish problem the only re- course for the employees is to walk out in a strike demonstration, but leaders on both sides consider this drastic step a very remote possi bility.
