 The finding says Isadore Dibner established the business in Water- bury of manufacturing ladies' dresses some time prior to 1927, during which year the claimant entered his employ as an operator of a sewing machine.
 The claimant was born Septem- Der 5, 1913. She lived with her father, mother, and brother in a five room tenement, having room to herself for sleeping purposes and the atmosphere and conduct of the family were all that could be desired to promote the health of those residing therein, says the finding. There was no suggestion of any taint of tuberculosis in any member of the family directly or colIaterally.
 The claimant, then IA years old. worked for the respondent. several months, then left to return again in 1928 and continued until May. 1894. The firm employed about 100 people all in one room and most of them were utilized in op- erating sewing machines and so placed that the operators were crowded together. The ceiling of the Clay street building where the factory was temporarily located for period, was altogether too low for a business of this kind. There was practically no ventila- ton except when the windows were open during the warm weather; the floor was filtered with small pieces of fabric wbich fell from the large number of sew ing machines and the atmosphere here was generally filled with dust. This was particularly true when the floors were being swept, which occurred about twice week. The finding says the claimant came in contact with two em- ployes and the foreman of the plant who suffered from tubercu- losis. The employer did not furn-

ITALY TOSTRIKE

 It was reported here that the Italian troop movements to the Sit- tonia salient began Wednesday. .A thrust direct toward Lake Tana would be one toward the most important point, from the British angle, in all Ethiopia. The entire gigantic project for irri- gatlng Egypt and the Sudan is cen- tered in it.
 Hence the importance of such a thrust not only to Ethiopia but to Britain was obvious.
 The terrain in the Sittonia-Gon- dar-Tana area is reported as fit for attack right now.
 But 1t was believed here that Italy must attack on all fronts at once in order to divide Ethiopian attention, and the rains in the south continue. Ethiopian reports are that Italian mechanical units and airplanes are not ready for at- tack on the southern front.
 The prospect of an early attack di,. nothing tQ interfere today with the continuation of the Maskal feast which marks the official end of the rains, though the Maskal flo gers which densely cover the hillsides, fields and pastures as the rains end may soon be reddened with Italian and Ethiopian blood.
 Today was the day of the tra- ditional meat feasts or guebbeurs.
