NO ACE LIMIT
 IN EMPLOYMENT
Waivers Issued to Men, Women Eager to Meet
 Employment Demand

Men and women between the ages of 40 and 60, and sometimes older, are being placed in Waterbury in- dustry, 1t was revealed today in report issued by Compensation Com mission Joseph E. Talbot. Since Jan. i, 2,li7 certificates of waivers on physical defects have been is- sued by his offices.
 This means that industry is plac- ing them, whereas only a few short months ago these same people were considered unemployable.
 Out of 560 waivers issued during the month of April, the report shows that c large number were for per- sons over 30 years of age. One man came to the Commissioners office recently and stated he was 62 years of age.
 Waivers are needed in the case of disability in order to protect the employer. A man or woman applying for work, if accepted and found physically defective, must appear be- fcre Commissioner Talbot and sign a waiver for possible future com pensation for defects which the applicant may suffer as a result of past injury.
 Until last month the number of persons seeking compensation claim exemptions on old physical defects, since January, increased steadily. The January record was 463; Feb ruary's was 5l4, while 579 waivers were granted In March. The April total of 560 was of by 19 certificates from the previous month, but the applications are still coming in, the records show.

 Labor Act Delayed
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 6-(UP)--A critical jam confronted the final month of the legislature as result of house action today, deferring consideration of the administra- tons state labor relations act until May IA.
 Republicans maneuvered the de. lay, which had freely been Inter- pred by Democrats as a move to embarrass Coy. Hurley whose pa. troriage nominations must be made by May l3.
 The act was to have been the order of the day in the lower chamber today, and Republican Leader William L. Hadden, Orange, declared he had "been approached by numerous members of the house who are still doubtful of their posi- ton on the bill and cannot honestly vote on this measure today"
 This announcement was taken to indicate that there was split among Republicans, who control the house, aS to whether the measure should go through as approved un- anilnously In the senate two weeks ago or whether amendments should be tackled on.
 Rep. A. A. RibicofY, D., Hartford, asserted he was afraid this act will die in conference between both houses. We are moving perilously close to the end of the session. I believe all members are now in position to act on this bill. Are we for 1t, or do we want to kill 1t by subterfuge7"
 The postponement also was said to have knocked out plans of the c. I. O. to picket the Capitol to. morrow, while the bill was being debated. The c. I. o. has come out against the bill as an attempt to sabotage" labor.

 acres of land without cornpensating the tribe.
 A petition was presented in the state senate, signed by various de- scendantS of the tribe, and by John F. Hamilton, president of the Na- tional American Indian Defense Association Inc, whose Indian name is Chief Rolling Cloud. Hamilton is Q descendant of the tribe, which now numbers between ITO and 175 members.
 The petition claimed the general court of the colony entered into the treaty with Chief Uncas and prom ised payment for all lands taken or appropriated for the colony or the government, and that due fair and proper compensation would be made to said Mohegan tribe"
 The petition claimed that as 6 flair and just compensation" and property "has a present day reas- onable value or equivalent of not less than $50,000, 900.
 Hamilton said he possessed a copy of the original deed, which he obtained from the State Library, and that i've mean business"
 The land, he said, was set apart for the tribe, and It's heirs, and the treaty was entirely disregarded with the expansion of the colony and It's growth into statehood.
 At the present time, he said, the only property the tribe owned was the Mohegan chapel, "the only In- dian church in the world" located in the town of Montville, once the tribal seat of the tribe.
