 He suggested that the new com
 missioner, taking what Commis-
 sioner Williams accomplished,
 could place it upon a finer plane or sphere. Judge Els said he always
 keeps as policy in administering
 his own office the expression,
 What is right, is law" l He told MT. Lynch that the road
 is sometimes difficult but that the
 essence of the job was to keep a nice balance between the workman
 and employer. He closed, stating
 the real celebration in time to come
 will be by the grateful workmen
 and employers who appreciated
 that MT. Lynch was appointed | commissioner.
 Mir. Lynch deeply thanked those
 in attendance for their manifesto
 tions and said he hoped he can
 only carry along the duties of his
 office as well as his predecessor, | MT. Williams. He recalled that
 Judge McDonough was the young
 est leader in the legislatures his tory when as chairman of the sen- ate judiciary. he reported out fla vorably the Compensation Act in 1913. He said that Judge Me- Grath, Judge Thoms and himself were members of the, Legislature when the act was passed. He re- viewed the history of the act, stat ing it first came to the Legislature in 1911, but was rejected, but after study by insurance companies, l manufacturers and the American
 Federation of Labor, together with
 manifested public opinion, it was
 passed two years later. He said the
 manufacturers of Waterbury have
 shown a splendid cooperation, even in the short time he has been in
 the new office.
