FOREST HILLS. y. Y Aug. 10
The Wightman Cup that massive
trophy emblematic Of wOmen's ANA
teur tennis supremacy, seemed head
ed for England and a reunion with
its big brother, the Davis Cup. when
the girls OF the United States and
England met today IN the conclud-
ing four matches Of the interna-
tional competition.
Leading two matches TO one as a
result OF a clean sweep by Dorothy
Round and Kay Stammers in yes
terday's opening singles brushes, the
English need but an even break to-
Gay to gain the four points neces-
sary for removal Of the cup. The
United States team has triumphed
the last four years. but only a
miraculous reversal Of form Will ex-
tend the winning streak to five.
Mrs. Fabyan Key Player
Three singles and one doubles en-
gagement vii be played today. IN
the opening encounter Mrs. Sarah
Palfrey Fabyan meets Mrs. Phyllis
Mudford King. Mrs. Fabyan, a
distinct in-and-Outer. has the game
to level the score at two-all, but
she has been badly of form all sea
son and only her top game is good
enough to vanquish the powerful
hitting Phyllis
Mrs. Fabyan. however. has a
knack Of rising to the occasion. She
saved the cup last year when she
turned in two surprising victories
over Miss Round and Miss STAN
mers.
The second match will pit Helen
Jacobs against Miss Round. Nor
mally this would be a tOssup. but
Miss Jacobs looked none to good in
losing to Miss Stammers Yesterday.
while Miss Round was magnificent
in routing Mrs. Ethel Burkhardt
Arnold Of Los Angeles.
Coast Woman Nervous
In the third singles match Mrs.
Arnold meets Miss Stammers and
unless she RECEIVERS from the attack
of stage fright which spoiled her
game yesterday, will lose in straight
sets. II she can overcome her ner-
vousness. however, and play the
game with which she won at Sea-
bright. she has an equal chance.
Miss Stammers can be beaten by
speed, and the stocky Californian.
in form, has more pace than any
woman player in the world.
The British are favored in the
doubles match which brings the
competition to close. Nancy Lyle
and Eveleyn Deerman, while only
second rate singles players, form
perhaps the most formidable doubles
team Britain has produced in years.
They will oppose Carolyn Babcock
of California and Dorothy Andrus
Burke of Stamford, Conn.

CLOCK INDUSTRIES
 REGISTER PROTEST
Important Statement Ex= pected on Illegal lm=
 pOrtatiOns

Startling developments as a re- suit of the protest deposited over the weekend with the tariff com mission in Washington D. C., by Congressman J. JosepH Smith of this city and James Shanley of New Haven are expected in this city within a few days. Local clock manufacturers have been conduct ing a special survey of their own in Washington, on the importation of Swiss watches and are awaiting in- formation which will show how the present sale of the foreign made timepieces in this city is effecting local labor. @
 The protest submitted by Con- gressman Smith and Shanlcy was in the form of brief showing the increase in the importation of Swiss watches in the country as a whole.
 In February of 1883, according te the brief the importation amounted to 16O,780 Swiss francs. The im- portations in February of 1884 amounted to 422.525.
 The brief further pointed out that every month except Novem- Der showed the 1894 report to be far in excess of the monthly re- ports for 1888.
 Connecticut has capital invested in the -clock and watch industry amounting to approximately $11,- 100000. There are 7.30O employ ed in the industry in the state.

tirement act, if they were sixty five.
 As an example of how the act would work, an employe fifty years old, with an average monthly salary of $125 and twenty years of service, would receive displace- ment compensation of $1,952.G6. This compensation would be paid in monthly installments equal to one-fourth of the average monthly compensation, unless the employe by an application in writing should show cause for payment in 8 lump sum. No dismissal compensation would be less than one months salary of $100, which ever is greater.
 Seniority Rights
 Upon unemployment an employe would be entitled to regain sen- iority and the right to dismissal |'compensation for his full period of service, upon agreeing to pay back the compensation already paid him. He would also have the option of continuing to receive the full amount of compensation al- ready awarded him, losing senior- ity and the right to further dis missal compensation except for the new period of employment.
 The bill also provides that the number of employees to be dis placed by any merger or coordin- ation of activities shall be agreed upon between representatives of the railroads affected. and repre- sentatives of the employees.

That the number of railroad workers in the Waterbury area who would come under the benefits set up in the dismissal compen- sation bill introduced in congress by U. $. Senator Burton K. Weel- CT of Montana would be impossible to compute at this time, was the statement made today by Super intendent James Greer of the local division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company when questioned today. The bill was introduced in antici- patton of displacement of many railroad workers through consoli- dation of services and facilities as recommended by Rail Coordinator Eastman.
 Enforced DismlssaIs
 Superintendent Greer stated this morning that there has been no talk of consolidation of services and facilities of late. The bill which will be heard by the senate committee on interstate commerce, proposed plan to pay such dis placed employees compensation for their enforced dismissal.
 According to the provisions of the bill, such compensation would be based on past service. The sys- tenn of determining the amount of compensation to be paid Is a complicated one involving average monthly salaries.
 Briefly. such compensation would be determined by multiply ing the number of years in the employees service period, not to ex- ceed thirty, by figure consisting of three -fourths of the first 50 his average monthly salary plus 56.25 per cent of the next $100 of such earning, plus 37.5 per cent of the next $150 of such earnings. Aver age monthly earnings would con- sist of the total such earned dur ing the eight years prior to December 31. 1881, divided by the number of months of service prior to that date, multiplied by the number of months service prior 10 August 1, 1884, added to the total received since Au- gust l, 1884, and divided by the total number of months of service to the time of displacement.
 Wage Adjustments
 Tho reason TOT tn1S cOmpllcated figuring is to eliminate wages for the depression years of 1892 and 1883. which 1t Is said would un- fairly drag down the average.
 Employees over the age of 3b would have their compensation in. creased by 1.5 per cent for each extra year of age up to 59. Elm ployes sixty and over would re- ceive, instead of the compensation, as figures for younger men, sum equal to that which they would be entitled founder the railroad re-

SCOUTS TO TALK
 OVER FUND PLAN
Girls Confronted With In. creased Overhead
 Expense

Confronted with an increased overhead expense and with no pro- vision in the budget for summer camp, members of the Waterbury Girl Scout council will meet to-day to discuss plans for raising funds necessary to carry on activities at Camp Wequapausett during the coming season. It is proba ble that the council will approve sale simi- lar to those conducted by other councils during the past year to help defray expenses.
 Under the accepted plan mem! bers canvass housewives of the city for bakery products such as cake and cookies. The sales extend over period of several weeks and have proved unusually successful.
 The necessity for new equipment including tents, stoves. new boats and canoes, will add greatly to the expenses of the camp during the coming season, according to Miss Edna w. Weber, Girl Scout direc- tor. An appropriation of $500 made in the budget last year
 
 the purpose, Miss Weber said. The small rates charged the girls bring in only enough revenue for food and for the salaries of the coun- cillors.
 During the 1934 season 365 girls enjoyed the facilities of the camp over period of six weeks. It is regarded as one of the most use full and important enterprises of the local council.
 Members of the Waterbury couh- cil include: Mrs William Leggett. commissioner; Mrs John Geist of Cheshire, deputy commissioner: Mrs s. A. Case. second deputy; Miss Florence TurnbulI, secretary Mrs Joseph HetZel. treasurer; camp committee chairman, Mrs Helen Minor, badges and awards. Miss May Finnan; training and education, Mrs H.
