health association. an organization
of government employees to furnish
themselves and their families medi-

The case is an unprecedented ap-

Officials frankly admit that it is
a test case which, if successful, may
result in similar action in other
cities.
Most of today will be devoted to
selection of a jury from a panel

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may get relief now with
CreomulSion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy
less potent than Creomulsion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to soothe and heal
the infiamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even If other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money If you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. Creomulsion is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomlllsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (Ajv)

 When Special Prosecutor AIcorn emerged from Judge Simpsons chambers this morning after a con- ference of about 70 minutes dura- ton, he Immediately proceeded in- to court.
 AIcOrn Asks The Date
 Tn court he addressed Judge Simp- son, "Your honor, I would like to move at this time for a trial date In the case of the state against Frank Hayes" He then asked if the court would consider setting the trial today, or if he would rather fix D date for arguments on the trial date, in order that defense counsel might be heard.
 T hope your honor will hear us as Boon as possible" he stated.
 Judge Simpson replied, T think counsel for the defense should be given an opportunity to be heard" He then set Thursday at o'clock as the time for arguments.

 Clerk George H. Freeman was or- dered to notify counsel for the de- fendants. Special Prosecutor Aleorn was accompanied today by County Detective Edward J. Hickey. They visited the top floor of the court room, scene of the grand jury in- vestigation, and apparently looked over the scene as a possible place for storage of exhibits.

says "no provision of this act shall justify any employer in reducing 8 wage .. Y Many employers demand the right to reduce hourly wages so that when they pay the overtime rate beyond A hours the total weekly wage will be the same. (An employer who paid $25 week at the rate of 80 cents an hour for 50 hours would still pay $25 for 50 hours under the new law if he reduced the hour rate to 47.2 cents, making the overtime rate 70.8 centsD One company wired it was reducing the wage of every employe from president to office boy" to 25 cents an hour, pay ing 37h cents an hour for overtime, guaranteeing everyone the same weekly wage and working everybody 50 hours q week.
 The wage-hour division merely warns that such tactics are dam gerous, that the courts may hold them violation of Section 18 and that "it is not safe to assutpe that a section of an act of Congress is meaningless"

 Some industries, especially tex tiles, are hammering for a gen. eral temporary exemption of slearn- CTS" from the a5-cent minimum They cite costs of training workers including spoiled materials, low production and time of teachers and say it takes a year or more to put elearners. on an equal basis with other employees, Some learners are now being raised to 25 cents an hour and others fired, they say. Certain new plants, set up in new territory are manned almost entirely by in- iexperenced workers, which means high production cost. Labor unions say the other side of the picture is q long history of fly-hy-niglit sweatshop operators who have fled from union organization and state waeeyhour laws into rural areas for cheap lahaf.

 WINS MANDAMUS

CContinued from Page D the latter body refused to rule on the appeal on the grounds that Judge 1nglis' decision was not final,
 Should Lundgren now be upheld in his refusal to allow inspection of the transcript of testimony, such decision by the superior court would De ''final", defense lawyers believe. In that case, the supreme court would then have to rule on the de- fendarits' rights to the transcript.
 Affects Merritt PaflKway
 The new proceedings will also tln- d0ubtedly have an important effect on the Merritt Parkway situation. Tn that case, the defendants have been given the right to examine the minutes. The state appealed from this decision, but the Supreme Court of Errors refused to rule on the ap- peal, again claiming that the deci- sion was interlncutory, not "final".
 Judge Simpson ordered Clerk George H. Freeman to sign the writ after 8 lengthy conference in chambers with States Att. Fizt- gerald and Attorney Warehouse.
 Leary Entitled to It
 In the writ, it is stated that Leary Ifs entitled to said transcript of testimony as a matter of right" The laws of the state, it is claimed, make testimony given before a grand jury open to both prosecu- ton and defense.
 Examination of the minutes is necessary, states the writ, for Leary to properly prepare end present his defense" He has the right, claims the writ, to test the accuracy of testimony given by witnesses.
 Used as Test
 Under the laws of Connecticut" says the writ, testimony given by a witness before the grand jury may be used to test the accuracy of the testimony of the same witness at a later trial..
 The latest proceedings, lawyers said today, would not cause any delay in the start of the trial of the accused.
 Filing of the writ of mandamus was predicted a week ago by The Democrat.

FISTICUFFS STUD
 JERSEYS VOTING

Jersey City. N. J., Nov. 8.-(UF.- Fisticuffs punctuated the voting to- day in Jersey City where W. Warren Barbour, Republican candidate for senator, visited polling places after charging that the Democratic ma- chine of Mayor Frank Hague was planning to stuff the boxes with fraudulent ballots.
 The first report of violence came from the fourth district of the first ward Where Charles Ballas, Repub- lican election board member, &C., cused two of his Democratic col- leagues of beating him. Ballas said he was beaten because, over the ob- jections of the two Democrats, he had ordered that a woman voter be given the assistance she asked in marking her ballot.
 The chief interest for the states 2,100.000 registered voters was the U. s. senatorial race centering on the issues of the New Deal and "Hagueism."

Equivalent to an average 40 . hour week and two weeks vacation)
 This has hit employers who amicably signed union agreements, since their competitors who signeu union contracts only after N. [. R. B. elections and other procedure resulting in certification of the eni- ploye unions-seemed spared the necessity of paying overtime at peak activity points. Newspaper, cloth ing, jeWelry, "Ghristnaas stuff'' and other industries reaching seasonal peaks are affected. But now the N. L. R.

Magruder has been known to say:: "On thas point, my advice is no better than that of your own lawyer" In most cases the wage hour administration is giving out advisory opinions as rapidly as it can answer letters and visitors. But it must admit that the courts are to decide. Off, ficials point out that the National Association of Manufacturers, the U. s. Chamber of Commerce and the American Federation of La- bor eliminated from the wage hour bill all authority to deter mine which employees were in in terstate commerce and which were not. That's their answer to some employers who insist on def mite rulings as to whether they're "in" or tout"

 bury and Hartford but the rainfall was not enough to keep the voters away.
 Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, seeking a fifth term as Democratic standard bearer, cast his ballot at New Haven at a. m.
 For the first time in Connecti- cuts history, three parties were classified as major. This was due to the emergenee ot Bridgeport Mayor Jasper McLevy and his So- cialist party as vital factor in the election.
 Three Majo- Parties
 For governor, the voters has their choice among:
 Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, D., seeking a fifth term; Raymond E. Baldwin, R., and Mayor Jasper McLevy, s.
 For U. s. Senator:
 Sen. Augustine Lonergan, D., seeking a second term; John A. Danaher, R., and Bellani Trombley, s.
 A deep uncertainty hung over outcome of the election due to pre- dictions Mayor McLevy may poll in the vicinity of 100000 votes. Chief concern of the Democrats was that he might draw more votes from their party than from the Repub- licans.
 Sentiment For McLevy
 Majer McLevy sentiment center ed in his home Fairfield county and at Hartford. Some predictions were the Socialist might receive 40,000 votes in his home county and 20,- 900 more at Hartford.
 Democrats expected considerable support from the WPA, Negro and regular party organization vote. Re- publicans believed he New Deal tide was going out and hoped to capitalize on it.
 The political tumult and shouting continued right up until midnight last night.
 Last Minute G O P Drive
 Republicans centered their last minute drive to recapture two or three House seats at Washington. Close votes were expected in the first congressional district, where. Rep. Herman P. Kopplemann, D., faced William J. Miller, R.; in the second, where Rep. William J. Fitz- gerald, D., faced Thomas R. Ball, R.; in the fourth, where Rep. AL fred N. Phillips, Jr., D., was opposed by Dr. Albert E. Austin, R., and Charles McLeyy, S.; and in the fifth, where Rep. J, Joseph Smith, D., opposed Roy E. Rice, R.
 In all except the second district, the Socialist vote was considered a major factor, especially in the fourth.
 Socialist Congressman
 So great was MeLevy sentiment in his home county, there was hope among party followers a Socialist congressman may be elected. At least three state senators and two representatives from the Socialist party may be elected to the General Assembly.
 In this eventuality, the Socialists in the State Senate would be placed in the excellent bargaining position of being a balance of power-espe- cially if the Republican and Demo-

ponderance of the Republican vote in several of the districts reported had been cast in the first few hours. This was especially true in the resi- dential districts.
 Tn spite of the slighter vote than at the same hours last year, the workers for both parties were active and organization was making itself felt. Both headquarters reported that a comprehensive vote would be forthcoming before the polls close at. 6 o'clock tonight.
 Considerable Cutting
 As had been reported, there was considerable evidence of "cutting" and officials at some of the polls had difficulty with the time limit and the voters who spent their al- lotted three minutes scrutinizing the names on the ballots.
 It was the first time that so many tickets had appeared on the ballot and this fact added to the element of confusion in some districts. But there was no disorder reported up to noon today and no complaints.
 Seven tickets appear, some in part, on the ballots, as follows: Democratic, Republican, Socialist, Socialist-Labor, Communist, Union and Labor.
 Socialist Vote Not Observed
 Tn relation to this, the predicted ''heavy vote" for the Socialist can- didate, Mayor Jasper McLevy, was not observed in the early voting officials estimated that whatever strength the Bridgeport mayor will show in Waterbury would come ir the closing hours, although the talk of the past few days continued among numerous factory employees These, 1t was estimated, might be about equally divided between the two major parties, however.
