Interpretation of Work mems Compensation
 Act Given By Com.
HUBER CUL LOSTS IS NOW
 OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE
Peculiar to Respondents Factory Through Own
 Improper Conduct"

A new interpretation of the Workmen's Compensa- tion Act is given by Com- missioner James M. Lynch in his finding and award upon the claim of Josephine Madeo against I. Dibner & Bros., Inc, of Canal street. The finding, which treats the case exhadstively, awards the girl W kly compensation of $1O.42 for a period not to exceed 520 weeks, the total pay ments of which will amount to ap- proximately $5,5O0.
 In addition, the respondent and It's insurers are to meet all future medical and hospital expenses and those incurred by the claimant since May 23, 1884, when she be- came disabled.
 Commissioner Lynch finds that the girl, now disabled by tuber- culosis, contracted the germ be- cause of the conditions under which she worked in the respond ent's dress manufacturing plant. He says. 'Tuberculosis is not q disease peculiar to the business of making ladies' dresses, but in this instance, 1t was made peculiar to the respondent employers factory through what may be termed his own improper conduct"
 The commissioner adds, "The unsanitary conditions surrounding the claimant at her employment were well known to the employer and no effort was made to remedy the shocking condition until at tention was called to the matter by welfare agencies and public officials"
 At the hearings before Commis- sioncr Lynch, Judge Edward Mas colo and Attorney James P. Me- Knight represented the claimant. The Great American Indemnity Company was represented by At- torney Harold K. Watrous of Hartford; the Fidelity and Casual ty Company of New York by Ralph o. Wells and the United States

BAY STATE RULES
 ARE COMPLICATED
Patriotism Law Beset on All Sides-RebelliOus
 Pupil Absent

Boston, Sept. 28-(UP)- New complications beset Massac achusetts' mooted compulsory patriotism law today.
 First, a showdown was awaited in the case of cight-year-old Carle- ton B. Nichols. Jr., so-called Lynn "baby pacifist" who refused to sa- lute the American flag because 1t is symbol of the devils king dom."
 Then came the ruling of Attor- General Paul A. Dever that teachers who have taken the re- quircd oath swearing allegiance to the constitutions of the United States and the state will have to go through the ceremony again on or after Oct. l..
 A third problem was settled yes- terday when Dever ruled that the statute does not apply to instruc- tors at riding schools or schools of beauty culture.
 Salute to the flag at least once week is required by the patriot ism law passed at the last session of the legislature. A teacher who falls to conduct the salute is fined $5.
 When Carleton refused to salute with his classmates Sept. 20, Super intendent of Schools Harvey S. GruVer announced the boy would be given lone more chance" and If he persisted in his refusal, he would be suspended pending rul- ing from the state department of education.
 Carleton was absent from school at the weekly salute yesterday, but Gruver said he would conduct a special salute the day the boy re- turns.
 Carleton's father, a member. of religious group known as "Jeho- vah's witnesses" refused to explain the reason for the boys absence yesterday. but smiled when report CTS hinted he had pulled a fast

STANDARD TIME

After having been in vogue for the past five months, daylight sav- ing time bids Waterbury au rev0ir at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning. with standard time returning again to be effective until the last Sat- urday of April, 1936. All local activities tomorrow and Monday. and from that time on, will be on standard time schedule.
 This past year has been the first time that Connecticut has al lowed public clocks to display daylight saving time. Previously, state statutes ordered all public clocks to show only standard time. The last session of the General Assembly voted to end the con- fusion which had existed for yeafs and authorized daylight time for public clocks.
 Officially, standard time returns to Waterbury at 2:01 a. m. tomor- row, but most residents of the Brass City will turn their clocks back an hour before going to bed. For those who want to leave their clocks and watches on daylight time till tomorrow, there's a prom  ise of an extra hour of sleep to- night-the hour that opponents rf daylight saving time declared so bitterly was Host" when the sum- mer schedule went into effect tn April.
 All church services tomorrow will be on standard time. as will train. bus and trolley schedules. Business houses which do not open tomorrow will go on standard time Monday. Schools which open Monday after several weeks of da- lay, will likewise be on standard time.
 From tomorrow. until next April, there will be some cessation of the inevitable arguments over daylight saving time versus what lie cb m piOpu colI "God'a tfncN "
