MANY PEOPLE ARE WORKING IN THE
 TEXTILE PLANTS
l5O, Have Found Jobs in New England Under
 Recovery Act

Boston. Jan 8. (UP)--Approxi- mately 10000 persons have found | employment in the cotton textile industry under the MIRA and the outlook for 1894 is optimistic, President Ernest N. Hood of tho National Association of Cotton Manufacturers said to-day.
 He estimated that on March l.. 1893. the industry employed about 320.000 workers at q total wage of about $12,S00,000.
 "On September 1, 1933." he con- tinued. 1t was estimated that tho industry employed 46G,000 em- ployes at total wage of about $27,000.000. an increase of 45 per cent in tho number of employees, and III per cent in the amount of wages. The industry has not only rc-cmployed all of it's normal num- Der of workers, but has taken on some thousands more." He added, however, that In some Ma assnc husetts textile centers. "where mills have been forced to llquidate because of handlcaps plac- ed on them through state legisla- ton, there may be textile workers who cannot find jobs." As tho outstanding accomplish ments of tho industry in 1933, he cited the following:
 1. A shortening and equalizing of tho hours of labor, thus increas- ing employment to the extent of 10000 persons.
 9. The establishment of 6 mini- mum wage, eliminating the ex- treme exploitation of labor former ly in vogue.
 8. Tho acceptance of the op- portunity to legally self-regulate the industry to insure 0 balancing of production and consumption. re- ducing the evils of cut-throat com petition.
 {. The final abolition of child labor.
 Arrangements benefits under tho code aro moro indirect" Hood said, "and will come through better control of production" He added that tho year as q whole would be regarded as fairly sue cessful and in my event the best year since 1922"
 ",rhe outlook for tho coming year inthe cotton textile industry fs brighter than for many years, he said. For the first time the ln- dustry has control of production, sufficiently flexible to prevent tho piling up of stocks of goods when tho market cannot absorb them, and on the other hand sufficiently flexible to prevent anything more than temporary shortageG of goods even duo to season peaks"
 Tho consuming public. ho warm cd, should realize that q subsidy to tho farmer. under tho agricultural relief net, Ifs paid by tho public and that there cannot Do n reduce ton of hours of labor without m increase in tho cost of tho product
 "If tho farmer is to Do Hubsi- dized and paid for not growing crops" hc declared in an attnck on tho pr0cossIng tax. "it would be much fnirer and cheaper for tho consumer if general snles tax were levied and the money HO ralA- ed distributed t0 tho farmer. A sales tnx would be on tho ultimate aalo tO the consumer and would not Do pyramided. as is now tho case"

FRENCH SCANDAL
 MAY FORCE OUT
 PRESENT REGIME
Premier Chautemps Must Clean House or GO Down
 Like Predecessors

Paris, Jan S--(UP)--Premier Camille Chautemps called cab- irct meeting today at which he must decide whether to rcorganize his official family because of the credit municipal Bayonne banking scandal or face n snccring cham Der of deputies tomorrow with the prospect of being ovcrthrown.
 Minister of Colonies Albert Dal- imier precipitated what amounted to q crisis. Of several cabinet mem bers mentioned in connection with elusive Alexander Sacha Stavisky. head of the Bayonne institution which failed with liabilities of more than $30.000,000, Dalimier was roved to have signed q letter advising insurance companies to invest in Staviskys bonds.
 Dallmier asserted that the letter was drafted by subordlnates and that he personally was not respon- slble. He refused thrce times over the week end to resign, feeling that resignation would involve ad- mission of guilt.
 It was predicted that unless Dalimier changed his mind before tho cabinet meeting, Chautcmps would offer his resignation to President Albert LeBrun. LeBrun has intimatcd that he would accept the resignation, which would in- clude tho resignations of all cab met mcmbcrs~-and reappoint Chautenps. Chautemps h en would rename all ministers but Dalimier.
 In this event, Chautemps was said to hope that Edouard Herriot leader of his radical socialist party, would accept tho foreign affairs portfolio, which would greatly strengthen tho cabinet. Joseph Paul. Boncour, now foreign minis- ter, would take the ministry of jus tice.
 Herriot, however. swore n year ago, when he fell as premier while fighting for payment of the Amer Ican war debts, that he would not accept political ofIlce/ so long us tho debt was in default.
 TO reports that Stavlsky was in half a dozen foreign countries. and had jumped into tho sen from Il Dutch steamship, was added Il new one-that he had been at a villa
 
 tho editor of a newspaper in which he owned an interest. Police watch cd the frontier closely.
 Henri Hayotte. director of the Empire Music Hall which Stavlsky controlled, told police he thought the banker might have killed him self. He last saw Stnvisky at mid night Christmas, he said. Stavisky then saw ruin impending, Hayottc said. and told him:
 "I nm lost. What is going to become of me? shall commit sul- eide"
 Joseph Carat, member of the chamber of deputies in tho govern mont party and mayor of Bayonnc. was formally charged with parti- cipation in frauds in connection with the failure last night.
 Chief of Police Jean Chiappe re- turned from vacation to-day to as- sumo charge of tho hunt for Stay isky. Ho talked at onco to Chau- temps.
 1t was expected that questions to the government by members of tho chambers of deputies would be de- ferred until Thursday.
 In event of cabinet shufflc. It was said, Minister of Justice Ray naldy, giving his post Co Paul ul-lion- cOur, would become n minister without portfolio. Tint would eh- ablo Herriot, if ho could bc induced to take the foreign portfolio, 10 handle the delicate German dis- armament negOtlalIOnH.

Jennings Sustains Merchants Trust Co.
 Claim On Agreement
Largest of Many Suits Against Local Bank Disposed of in Lengthy Decision TO-day-COurt Holds
 Merchants Trust Got $16O,OOO in Liabilities

Tho $200,000 claim of the Peo- ple's Bank & Trust Co against tho Merchants Trust Co.,, the largest claim of the many presented, Is disallowed by Judge Newell Jen- nings in q lengthy decision handed down today in superior court. The claif was based on an alleged mer- ger agreement entered into between the two banks on Feb 16,1031.
 Under that agreement the Mer- chants Trust Co was to take over the assets of the Peoples bank and to issue an additional $50,000 worth of Merchants Trust Co capital stock which was to be exchanged with the Peoples Bank & Trust Co.
 It was the claim of the Peoples Bank & Trust Go that it's assets at tho time of the alleged merger, were worth 2,959.45. It was
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-08

further claimed that while the as- sets were taken over by the Mer- chants Trust Co.,, the additional stock issue was never materialized by the Merchants Trust Co.
 Judge Jennings writes: "The suc- cess of the claim hinges on the mer- ger of the Peoples Bank & Trust Co with the Merchanst Trust Co. If this merger is invalid, there Is no claim. If 1t was valid, the as- certainment of the amount due, presents, as suggestedby the receiv- CT, a very serious question.
 There are two very serious difn- culties confrontinng the claimant (The Peoples Bank). The first is the fact that his attack Is based solely on technicalities, tho absence of corporate seal, the executing by mated, ect. The second is his posi- tion as reflected in the general equities of tho situation. On this latter point 1t is clear that, lue to the strained conditiin of the claim ant in particular, the Merchants Trust Co reserved the right to value the assets of tho claimant or be- fore the expidation of a two-year period.
 The valuation as made at the end of that time discloses that in- stead of securing valuable assests as q result of the merger, 1t as- sumed net liabilities in excess of $I60,000. When taken in connection with the fact that the stock of both corporations is, and probably was, of no value, this hurdle Is certain iy 0 high one for the claimant to get over. The claimant has con- structed an ingenious argument but has failed to clear the obstacle. l find that what infomalities may have attended the merger, they cured by ratification and ecquics- ence and that, In any event, the claimant is now estopped to object on the grounds stated in his brief. Attorney John r. McDonough apc- peared for the Peoples Bank s Trust Co., Attorney Francis T. Reeves represented the Merchants Trust Co. ,

 Ruling Dismissed

The appeal of Mrs Elizabeth KiehI of Seymour from the finding of Compensation Commissioner Frederic M. Williams is dismissed in decision handed down today by Judge Newell Jenningsin super for court. Commissioner Williams in his finding, held Mrs Kiehl had no claim against the H. A. Mat thews Co of Seymour for the death of her husband, Christian.
 She claimed his death was due to pneumoconiosis, an occupatlonal disease contracted while in the en- ploy of the company. Commissioner Williams held the deceased was suffering from articular rheuma- tism and valvular heart condition which caused his death.
 Mrs Kiehl appealed from that finding to superior court. The np- peal was reviewed by Judge Jen- nings who decided in his decision today that Commissioner Williams finding should stand.

 The proposal was discussed at a recent meeting of administrators held in Hartford, with Waterbury mentioned as an excellent site be- cause of the superior facilities for the work available. Since then how ever nothing definite has been heard in connection with the &C., tuai location of the shop in this city.
 William M. Harris, relief admin istfator, said today that no infor- m4tion on the project has been re- ceiyed from state headquarters. The meeting was held during his vacation, and was attended by Wal lace Inglis and Robert F. Birt. rep ressnting the city.
