PROBATE COURT
 CASE DROPPED
Plaintiff Alleged Undue In. fluence on Aged Mother
 in Making Will

Lionel J. LeClair's appeal from Judge Dennis J. slavins admittance to probate of his late mothers win in 1884 was dropped from superior court today. Attorney James '. Mc- Knight, counsel for the defense said that no settlement had been made.
 xaverlna LeClair died in 1884 and left her entire estate to her sons and daughters, but excluded Lionel. Over the objections of Lionel, Judge Slavin admitted the will to probate, and the superior court appeal was taken. Lillian LeClair Botstord of Milford was named executrix of the estate.
 Tn his appeal from probate, Le- Clair contended that the will was made while his mother was under the undue influence of the other sisters and brothers, mainly Ange- line LeClair Delage. Her age end physical condition, together with the impairment of her memory, made 1t impossible for her to con- prehend the business she was about in making the will, the claimant contended. Attorney clayton L, Klein appeared for the claimant,

plus an additional S20O which Is fixed by statute.
 The fund from which compen- sation will come has been built up entirely by employers subject to the Act. In some states, of which Massachusetts is one, employees are required to contribute 1ut such is not the case in Connecticut. Liable employers here contributed an amount equal to nine-tenths of one per cent of their payrolls for 1886. The rate for this year is one and eight-tenths percent. In 1888 they will contribute on Q biss of two and seven-tenths percent.
 Twenty-one other states will be- gin payments when Connecticut does in January. Wisconsin pass ed It's law in 1882 and has been paying compensation for over Q year. The remainder will start when two years collections of contributions have been made. Already the money gathered in 4e states, the District of Columbia Alaska and Hawai- amounts to $490, ,000,00
 New In U. s.
 Though unemployment compen- sation on Q large scale does not begin in the United States until 1888, 1t Is not news In European countries. In l7s9 1t was first tried in one of the Swiss cantons. That was the earliest attempt to or- ganize and prepare for unemploy- ment by building up Q coinmun- ity fund during periods of pros- perlty.
 Some decades later, in 1925, the Steam Engine Journeymen Workers Association in England created Q trade union unemploy- ment compensation plan whereby members contributed to Q common fund. Then In 1901, in 0hent in Belgium, occurred the first suc- cesSful subsidy of Q trade union plan. A certain amount of money was given by the Communs and another amount was contributed voluntarily by the workers to cre- ate Q reserve store for bad times.
 When England solved her prob lem in 1911, she deviated sone- what from the path taken by pred- ecessors. After intensive study of methods of compensation by c Royal Commission, 1t was decided to make the system Q compulsory ono. Hence, by English law, the government, the employer, and tho employe are required to con- tribute to the sum of wealth from which jobless insurance iS paid, For the past 20 years, the English

 For Unemployment Compensation Benefits January q

United States had to reflect much on the subject. True, we had trade union funds in the le50's but they were small and the work CT coverage slight. But the post war depression led to the appoint ment of Q federal committee to study business cycles and unem- ployEnent. A fund was recommend ed by the group. Along came the boom years and everyone's thoughts turned elsewhere.
 But action came In the years fol- lowing the market slump. Con- gressional committees analysed the jobless problem in 1880. An in. terstate conference was held the next year to discuss 1t. In 1882, the American Federation of Labor approved the Idea of compensation to idle workers. Two years later, President Roosevelt chose his coEn- mission on economic security.
 The Social Security Act was born in 1885. Our governments role in that vast program may be briefly summarized under three major heads, as follows: (O Els. tablishing provisions for Federal old age benefits; (2) Granting Federal funds to states for (a) the administration of unemploy- ment compensation systems, (b) public assistance programs giving monthly allowances to needy aged the blind and dependent chil- dren without parental support, Co services for maternal and child health, public health, crip- pied children, child welfare, voca. tional rehabilitation; (O Levying taxes on employers and employees.
 By tho terms of the Act, the respective States were allowed to pass their own unemployment compensation legislation. It took them little time to provide for the establishment of their own syS. tems and funds.
 Partial Buffer
 Besides aiding temporarily un. employed individuals, the payment of compensation should act as 0 partial buffer for society in the event of depression. Benefit pay ments in communities where wholesale layoffs occur should stimulate buying and circulation of money, both of which are es- sential to prosperity.
 Tn another manner, society and the individual will benefit for under the terms of unemployment compensation legislation, employ CTS have on incentive for provid. ing permanent jobs for their work-

 comes to the eligible person aS c matter of right under our law. Payments are not in the nature of charity and the applicant does not have to be on relief to qualify.
 Benefit rates are figured by percentages. By the regulations of the plan, the year is divided into quarters, each having i3 weeks. should the applicant be totally unemployed when he applies In January, his rates will Do based on his earnings in his highest quarter !n the first three quarters of 1887. For the purpose of illus. tration 1t shall be assumed that c hypothetical applicant during April, May and Juno - e quarter made e2b 900 weekly which when taken times i3--the number Of weeks--gives c product of e326.00.
 Computed Benefit
 Four percent Uf the product 9S2b.00 times .04-is $500 which is tho weekly benefit rate in this case. No individual can receive more than twelve and one half percent of his total earnings. In- dividuais c reconsidered totally unemployed when they are doing no work for which remuneration of any nature iS payable and are not engaged in self employment.
 A complication inserts Itself, however, when the sum of money earned during the quarter comes to less than 9i07.60. That or any greater amount, times .O4 would give Q benefit rating of 97.60 or more. But anything less than 9i07.B0 ct the same rate would 70. suit in c benefit smaller than 97.B0; for example, ei80.00 times .04 equals 47.20. Thus the rate for individuals who have c quarters wage under Sie7.60 b figured at .06. For amounts down to ei2DO0, the jobless empioye can obtain at least c e7.b0 weekly benefit. For example, 9i2B.00 times .0e is e7b0. The worker who made only 9i0000 though, in the entire quarter would rscelve--ei000o times .0e-> o0.00 weekly.
 Partial Work
 Partial employment also comes within tho province Of the act. If the same applicants employ. lment is cut to two days 6 week and for that effort he iS paid only 9i0.O0 which iB less than his bene. fit rate would Do If no were totally iineinployed-eiS.00 = he ig con. sidered partially unemployed. Tho oi0,00 amount b gubtracted from the ei9.00 and he obtains the yemainder--eS. .00--each week
