 Waterbury's Greatest Democratic
 Victory
 On october 9th, 1881, Honorable T. Frank Hayes was reelected mayor of Waterbury for sccond term by the largest plurality evnr received in Waterbury by any c;il- didate for local, state or n;t- tional office.
 It was also the biggest plurality ever received by, q democratic; candidate for mayor in any city in the state of Connecticut. Mayor Hayes won by 6.959 votes carrying every ward and IS out of 20 voting districts. So tremen- dous was the avalanche of tolrs recorded in his favor that tllc mayor won the city by more tlG.a 500 votes more than Gov. Alfrta E. smith did when he ran for Inc presidency in 1928.
 Mayor Hayes outspoken. honest. fearless. efficient manner won for him and every cardidate on lls ticket a sweeping victory. "a vfc- tory that the democratic parry may well feel proud of.

Drastic Shifts In
 Compensation Laws
Cooneys Bill Would Give Injured Employe Right to Select Own Physician

Several drastic changes in the compensation laws of Connecticut are called for in a series of bills now before the legislature and which will come up before the ju- dietary committee next Thursday. Compensation Commissioner Fred eric M. Williams of this city is ex- pected to be among the officials of the state appearing at the hearing. Insurance company and factory heads arc also expected to be on hand.
 One of the bills of special inter- est is the one introduced by Sena- tor Joseph Cooney of Hartford pro- viding that an injured employe would Lave the right to select his or her own physician. At the pres- cnt time persons injured must em. ploy the services of their employ CTS physician and surgeon. Con- siderable opposition to the bill is anticipated from the insurance companies and factories.
 Another bill. introduced by Rep rei,e ntative Telesca of Torrington, provides tha. .no compensation commissioner shall hold any politi- cal office, either elective or ap- pointivc. A bill of great import ance has been introduced by Rep resentative Conner. At the pres- cn: time if claimant is totally in- capacitated he receives halt his pay for a given length of time. Under the Conner ,Dill the person so in- jnred would receive two-thirds of his pay. Insurance and factory of ffcials are prepared to argue against this measure very strongly. Representative Googel of New Britain will have bill up for con- sideration provid for raising the minimum weekly sum to be paid from $5 to S9 in case of death arising out of an accident, or from an occupational disease. Another bill of Representative Googers would raise the minimum weekly surn to be paid from $5 to $9 in case of injury. One introduced by Representative Pastore concerns the liability of third persons under

Took Cheerful View of the
 Banking Situation

Speaking before an audience ot the Y. M. c. A. last evening Rob, ert Walker, trust officer of the Colonial Trust company. reviewed the banking situation of the United States and expressed the opinion that the present crisis in nation- al banking circles was the turning point of the economic depression. Be believed that the powers vested by congress in President Roose- welt would bring about a more ade- quate reorganization of the bank ing system and unify many of the conflicting laws of various states. He explained the various systems now effective in the United States and particularly the operation of the federal reserve.
 MT Walker expressed confidence in President Roosevelt and Gov ernor Cross and the opinion that the banking system of the country would emerge from the crisis on a tirmer basis than ever. 7"

than they were in 1929, and only about
a per cent lower in 1932-this in
years when total wages paid were
only a fraction of what they were
in prosperous times. The reason for
this was, he said, that employers set
aside reserves to pay dividends and
interest, but had not yet learned to
set aside reserves for wages and
must be forced to do so by law.
