But one agreement was ap- proved this morning in the office of Compensation Commissioner Fred. erick c. Williams. Herbert A. Sig finger of Shelton will receive $6.97 weekly during disability for 8 bruised left foot from the Farrell. Birmingham Company of Ansonia, beginning August 2.
 An award of $3,097.S2 was made Saturday in the case of Charles Mattoff of 7S6 East Main street against the Waterbury Shoe Re- pairing Company of East Main street. The award was approved by Commissioner Leo Noonan follow. ing a hearing in the local compen. sation court.
 Under the award Mattoff re- ceives $2,0S9.50 and the balance goes for the payment of medical hospital and nursing expenses.

labor. the foolhardinees of kho11 who neglect to remove or modify such conditions as exaspernte tho minds of the workmen and 90 pre- pare the way for the overthrow and the ruin of the social order.
 That encyclical is not. however, a defense of the right of labor only. It is at the same time a defense of the right of the property owner and of the capitalist. The rich and the poor, the employer and the employed, have mutual rights and duties which ft is in- cumbent upon the church, the stata and on all interested persons to re- spect and defend. The Catholic church has insistently preached the observance of the moral law as giv- en by the creator and dictated by human conscience for the guidance of man as an individual and as a member of society. She, theref0re, holds that the present deplorable economic conditions are moral c0n- sequences-not merely the result of the natural workings of the laws of supply and demand-but traceable also to a disregard of the moral law, to selfishness, to greed, to in JuSlACS anu LO au aAhOtlAOh " 0&s~ tate, to dominate.
 The church maintains also that while capital and labor must be ena- bued with a real sense of justice and right in their mutual relations. yet legislators and the administra- tors of the law must oppose unjust claims and unjust actions if we are to have social peace and material prosperity. For the capitalist. a fair return on his investment; for the laboring man, just wage. . wage that enables him and his family to live comfortably and with thrift to build his own home and to give to his children a fitting education.
 The New Deal is clarion call from our great president to arouse in all the old, eternal principles of justice. It is the opinion of Father Brennan that in so far as those principles are adopted, so far will the New Deal succeed. They must be adopted-It must succeed.

 London, Aug 2S-(U.P.) - The British Labor Party hopes to rise to power at the next general elec- ton with a new deal platform that incorporate many of the ideas President Roosevelt has inaugu- rated in the United States.
 At the next general election, probably not before October, 1884. the party, frankly socialistic, will ask the British public to give 1t a majority in the house of commons and a mandate that calls for the standardization, of transportation, banking, agriculture and coal nnin- ing.
 Labor party experts are at work on plans that envisage g. closely co-ordinated socialistic state. in which the profits that go now to private owners will be used for the benefit of all.
 Some plans are still in a form ative stage, although the theory has been perfected. Projects al- ready worked out include:
