 The state labor department, he said, is ready and willing to receive complaints from all employees who feel that their employers are violat- ing such laws. Such complaints, he said, will be investigated thoroughly and promptly. He suggested that employees who feel they have griev- ances in that their employers are violating the statutes should write to the state labor department at Hartford.
 Most of the violations of the labor laws in Waterbury, he said, consists of the working of women more than nine hours a day, 52 hours week or six days a week. Another important violation, he said, is the failure of employers to keep accur- ate records of the hours worked by employees.
 MT. Donlan said that Mrs. Ther- esq Sirica Crook, of Waterbury, IS engaged in Investigating alleged vio- lations of "home work" regulations about the state.

Compensation Board
Plan Brings Split
BY GEORGE M. GREEN

oJ NSOA8NG N1s N2sANA4AN
RICHMO ND, Va, March Z.
Members Of the Virginia General
Assembly today were faced with
several highly controversial bills
to be acted upon before adjourn
ment Saturday.
Foremost Of the legislative meas
ures which must be disposed Of
by the Senate will be the State
budget bill, already approved by
the House.
PONDERED BY COMMITTEE
The Senate Finance Committee
resumed it's consideration Of the
$164, 100000 appropriation meas
ure behind closed doors at 10 a. m.
today, trying to iron out differ
enceS on the section which would
deprive the governor Of power to
appoint the chairman Of the State
compensation board. The section
is backed by followers of the old
line Harry Byrd organization and
opposed by supporters Of the ads
ministration. The fight probably
will be continued on the floor.
NIGHT SESSIONS LIKELY
Meanwhile, members of the
House went to work today on a
calendar loaded with legislative
measures that have passed their
third readings and are now ready
for final action. Both branches
of the assembly are expected to
be kept in session until after
dark inasmuch as midnight to-
night is the deadline for either
branch to give further considera-
ton of its own bills.
The Haag.Waddell report on
the affects of alcohol on the hui
man system will be made public
today. Members Of the House on
Saturday declined to approve a
Senate resolution which would
have destroyed all copies Of The
report, and adopted instead a
motion to have copies printed
and distributed to all members
Of the assembly.
BILLBOARD LICENSES UP
Other important measures to
come before the Senate between
now and adjournment time Sat.
urday include the bar integra.
ton bill to regulate the practice
of law in the state and the bill.
board bill which would license
and regulate all billboards on
rural highways throughout the
State.
The last hope Of enactment of
legislation to require eXamina-
tions for syphilis as a prerequi-
site to marriage faded late Sat-
urday when the Senate Courts of
Justice committee voted to kill q
bill introduced in that branch
which would have paralelled a
similar House bill killed by the
same committee.
HOUSING PLAN WATTS
A bill Of Statewide interest
that will be among the principle
measures on the floor Of the
House this week is the Rosenberg
proposal which would permit
municipalities in the State to au.
thorize the establishment of
housing authorities" to borrow
Federal funds for slum-clearance
projects in their respective locali-
ties.
A spirited fight developed on
the floor of the house shortly be-
fore the delegates recessed at 6
D. m. Saturday when supporters
of a bill designed to redistrict
the membership Of the house at
tempted to revive the measure.
PLAN DEFEATED
The bill, introduced by Delegate
Frank Daniel, of Lynchburg, was
killed earlier in the week by the
committee on privileges and cleo
tions. Saturdays revival of the
issue was in the form of a motion
to discharge the committee from
further consideration of the meas
ure and bring it on the floor OF
the house.
The effort was defeated by the
threat of a filibuster.
