Damage Suit
 For $1O,OOO
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.)
 The complaint states that the employe was in the employ of plaintiff continuously from Jan uary l, 1928, to February 13, 1882. It is alleged In the complaint that from December 3, 1928, to May 31, 1881, the employe drew from the companys funds and appropriated to his own use, certain sums rang ing from $S4 to $900, making a total of nearly $10,000.
 The complaint alleges further that the withdrawal of said cash by the employe from the funds of the plaintiff and taking 1t into his own possession, was "a misappro- priation, Q wrongful abstraction, a wilful misapplication by the em- ploye of the plaintiffs money and the acts of the employe in taking said money and using it for his own purposes and failing to reurn it to the plaintiff, were fraudulent and dishonest acts up- on the part of the emyploye."
 The plaintiff charges that 1t made demand for the payment of the bond after showing proof of loss but the defendant has failed and neglected to pay the demand.

 alization of a reported Ideal" made by an "old guard" senator with the republicans on minor court judgeships, failed.
 The senators, at a caucus yes- terday afternoon, agreed to sup port the governors legislative pro- gram but were non-committal on the court bill, 1t was undestood. The governor in statement is- sued after an earlier conference with "new guard" leaders, had urged unified action on the meas ure and corresponding bills, and warned If these bills fail, then the responsibility must lie upon those who take this action. but certainly members of the demo- cratic party in the senate cannot be party to it."
 Action by the senate democrats on minor judgeship resolutions be- fore the general assembly has had chance to act on the district court bill would be, the governor said, 'an unequivocal repudiation of the party's pledge in regard to district courts.
 Tt Is absurd to suppose" he said, "that, having elected one or more minor court judges, the gen. eral assembly would then proceed to act favorably upon the program foS district court system"
 The judiciary committee, re- publican controlled, already has begun hearings on judgeship reso- lutions which will begin pouring into the senate for approval or re- jection probably next week. Action can only be delayed by the sen- ate voting as unit and defection of one member would give the re- publicans absolute control of both houses.
 It is because of the rumored defection of an "old guard" sena- tor that the governor has desper- ately sought to forstall inevitable disaster to his program by demand ing allegiance from every member of his own party with regard to his court measure.
 An echo of the fight within the democratic ranks was heard late yesterday at a judiciary commit tee hearing on two Hartford po- lice court judgeships whereby a republican and democrat would share the bench.
 William J. Calvin, republican, who was secretary to former May or Walter l.. Patterson, in a writ ten statement given the commit tee. declared:
 "I cannot honestly convince n.y. self that the judiciary committee can permit itself to confirm the feeling in the city of Hartford that you gentlemen. together with the house of representatives, and with your republican major ity, plan to enter into a deal with the Spellacy democrats, to the end that you would divide the Hartford courts between one of Hartford's most offensive republican politi- clans and the house of Spellacy.'
 Patterson, in another statement division of the court posts, asserted:
 Ut Is decidedly upsetting to wit nesses the development of mutual ly agreeable relations between re- publican leaders and the old guard of Hartford. In the parlance of his excellency, we are breeding some pretty big 'maggots' around Hartford.

 the present president" Formerly there had been some sentiment for placing a clever tongued per. son such as Senator George Moses, repn, N. H., on the firing line here.
 Now, 1t Is felt by number of the responsible republican leaders that such methods would be unpopular. They sense feeling that the country is more interested in trying to work with the new administra- ton to restore business, than in re- publican sniping attacks.
 However, republicans plan to challenge, oppose, suggest and otherwise exercise their rights as n minority party in both houses of congress. No mistake of the demo- cratg iS likely to go unchallenged. But the overwhelming democratic majorlties in both houses of the incoming congress indicates that the real fighting will be Inside the

 Free Employment.
 Hartford, Conn, Feb S-CUP)- The state department of labor Is opposed to any reduction Tn US appropriation for the next two years which would necessitate elimination of its six free employ ment agencies and lessen its it's activities against "sweatshops."
 Civic and welfare groups sup ported Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone late yesterday. at general assembly appropriations commit tee hearing, when he urged appro- priation of $26S,280 for the next biennium as against $142,292 al- lowed by the board of finance and control.
 John J. Egan, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, said abolition of the free employ ment agencies would be "notice to the unemployed that the state is not interested in their welfare"
 Tone said the agencies secured jobs for 22,000 persons during the last year and a half at cost of $2S,000.

 In connection with cabinet ap- pointments which President-elect Roosevelt will announce on March 2 or 3, the belief grew here that Governor Albert C.

 The injured men were strike breakers at the Briggs Manufactur- ing plant, whose bodies are used for Ford cars. The riot broke out on a street car as the men were re- turning to their homes. One was shot in the back, three were stabbed and three were beaten with blackjacks. Police arrest ed 15 men.
 The enforced shutdown at the Hudson plant continued as strikers awaited officials reply to 12 de- mands, including a wage increase. Three thousand other workmen were forced to quit because the strike tied up production.

 or her salary may be. The low salaried employees will naturally receive the smallest cuts with a gradual increase up to 10 per cent for those in the $5,000 class and the highest cuts of IS per cent for such officials as the insurance missioner, $9,000; public util- tiles commission chairman, $1O,- 900; highway commissioner, $S,000: commissioner, $S,000; commission CT of finance and control, $10,000; commissioner of motor vehicles, 5000.
 At a caucus of house democrats to-day immediately following ad- journment of that body the mem- bers voted to oppose any cut in the salary of the governor. Two years ago an effort was made to increase the salary of the gover- nor, but this measure was defeat ed. At the time 1t was pointed out that Connecticut's governor re- ceives perhaps the smallest salary paid by any state to- its chief exe- cutive. In keeping with the dig nifty of the office 1t would be in- appropriate to make it any lower than it is: There are any num- Der of commissionerships now pay ing several thousand more annual ly than the governorship.
 At the democratic caucus 1t was also decided to oppose any reduce ton in the salaries paid to mem- bers of the state tuberculosis commission of which Dr Stephen hIAG 70 ta hnt man. These members now receive proposed state budget they are given two alternatives. They may accept an annual stipend of $500 or go on 8 mileage basis. Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch, former dem- ocratic national committeewoman was active in the Capitol to-day opposing this proposed change. She is member of the tubercu. losis commission.
 At q meeting of the appropria- tions committee tomorrow after noon the budget of the superior court at Waterbury will be consid. cred. It may be recalled that the court showed a deficit of $23,000 for the past two years and the new budget will probably contain q deHclency aprpoprlatlon to cover this. The budget will be ready to- morrow morning. The court of common pleas appropriation is also to be considered tomorrow. In the house today the bill in- troduced by Rep. Daniel J. Ma nancy of Waterbury separating the East Mountain school district from the Union school district of Pros- pect SC that the former may be in- cluded in the second taxation dis trlct of Waterbury was transfer, red from the committee on educa- ton, to which 1t was originally re- ferred, to the committee on cities and boroughs of which Rep.

 Two bills affecting personal tax es were killed In the senate today. one would have eliminated the $1 penalty tax for failure to pay the bill within the prescribed time limit. It was pointed out that If the penalty tax was removed there would be no incentive for taxpay- CTS to meet this obligation on time. The second bill eliminated the per- ssnal tax entirely. There was no comment as 1t was rejected.
