one that is probably most important is the Wages and Hours law.
 Although the Social Security Act has made provision of assistance to millions of old people, and to un- employed, and to the needy, the Wages and Hour act goes more directly to the remedy of our present unemployment problem.
 This is because the Wage and Hour Act will directly affect em- ployment, and, 1t is hoped, will ulti- mately provide work for many of the millions now unemployed"
 MT. Danaher!
 Meantime, in a Hartford broad- cast, John A. Danaher, Republican candidate for U. s. Senator, assailed the administration reciprocal trade treaties as creating unemployment in this country.
 He said: while our own workers throughout the State of Connecticut are wholly unemployed or are work ing only part time, hundreds of competitive articles produced by workers in foreign countries today are supplying more than 40 per cent of the markets of Philadelphia. Boston, New York and other Amer Ican cities.
 American manufacturers cannot possibly compete, and so we suffer for American labor cannot possibly find adequate jobs"

Controller Sherwood L. Rowland made public retraction today in the Waterbury Republican for placing the name of Attorney Mary Woos- ter Sutton on list of lawyers he alleged owed city court fees. Attor- ney Sutton forced the controller to recant by visiting his office and that, of the city court to show that she owed the city nothing at all.
 The same condition obtained in the instance of a number of local lawyers whom Controller Rowland listed in the Republican, American as owing" the city court 7,737.17. Some had not received bills, as these are mailed out semi-annually, some had paid their accounts at the time due.
 Today the situation remained the same, with many of the lawyers planning to seek refunds of the over-payments enormously made on the fee schedule which showed that they had been paying $7 and $11 fees when 50-cent fees were re- quisite under the charter.

Clarence Mackay,

Head, Dies at "a
Futher-in-Low Of
Irving Berlin Hod
Been in Bad Health
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Clarence
H. Mackay, capitalist and chairman
OF the board of Postal Telegraph
& Gable Co., died tonight at his
home here.
In poor health for several months
Mr.. Mackay underwent an operation
for appendicitis in December, 1887,
but was reported to have come
through it satisfactorily. In July of
this year, he returned to the hospital
for a general examination. On
Tuesday. he was brought to his New
York home from his estate at Ros-
lyn, Long Island. He was "a years
old.
From his father. John William
Mackay, an Irish immigrant, who
joined the California gold rush of
1849 and founded fortune on the
famed Comstock Lode, Mr.. Mackay
inherited control Of q vast telegraph
and cable system.
He eventually enlarged the sys-
tenn until its service covered ap-
proximately three-fourths of the
distance around the earth.
Born in San Francisco, Mr.. Mac
kay spent his early life in Europe.
where his parents made their home
much of the time. He returned to
the United States at the age OF 20
to enter his fathers company.
He was married in 1898 to Kath-
crime Duer, member of prominent
New York family, and they had two
daughters and a son. One of the
daughters, Ellin, married Irving Ber-
lin, the song writer.
Seventeen years after he and his
first wife were divorced in 1914, Mr..
Mackay married Anna Case, concert
soprano. Surviving are his widow,
Mrs. Berlin; Mrs. Kenneth OBrien,
another daughter, and his son, John
William.
Circumstances of Mr.. Mackay's
death, which occurred at II pm.
E. S. T., were not disclosed imme-
diately. Postal Telegraph headqusr-
ters confirmed the news, but tine
Mackay home was darkened soon
afterward and a servant was posted
at the door.
A muscular man of medium
height, who kept in trim with daily
exercise, Mr.. Mackay devoted his
long business career mainly to en-
larging the cable system founded by
his father with James Gordon Ben
nett.
He was elected president of the
Commercial Gable Co. and the Postal
Telegraph Co., its land line feeder
system, in 1896. A year later he be-
came q vice president and, in 1902
when his father died, president.
Under his supervision a cable was
laid to Cuba, paralleling an earlier
one, and S., 600, 900 was spent In lay
