WORK STOPPACE
BEING PROBED
SCOviIl Company Expert
enCes Another Protest
Over Wage Cut

About so employees Of the Scovill
Company, draw bench division last
night resorted to another minor
work stoppage similar to that
staged last week in protest to an
alleged pay-cut.
Alan c. Curtiss, director Of en-
ployes relations at the plant today
told The Democrat that the COM
pany was continuing the investi-
cation that was begun after last
weeks similar occurrence and that
the latest move on the part Of the
employees was believed to have been
participated in by a few who had
become impatient" at the delay
that has ensued during the COM
pany's probe.
A spokesman for the workers has
stated that they will meet tomorrow
at the Scovill c. I. o. union rooms
on Grand street to formulate plans
for further protest. 1t Is under
stood that the majority Of the per-
sonnet Of the draw bench division
are not members Of the c. I. o.
Causes behind last nights work
stoppage which lasted only about Is
minutes, and last weeks similar &C.
currence are said to have arisen
from an alleged reduction In pay
because for some time in the past
the production checking methods
on which the employees pay-rates
were basd had been progressively
discarded" in the tube mill.
1t has been reported that the chief
supervisor and his assistant in the
tube mill division have been tenn
porarily relieved Of their duties, the
company continues its study Of the
situation.

Home Tragedy
Among Violent
Deaths Recorded
(BY UNITED PRESS

The suicide Of a young mother
who hanged herself after shoot
ing her 9-months-Old son as he
lay In his crib, brought a 24-hour
violent death toll in Connecticut
today to six.
State Police said that Mrs. Ma
riOn NJ. Mullin, 2S, of North Som
ers, killed the baby. Wesley Har-
ley, with a rifle and then strang-
led herself with a rope in a hall
way Of their four room cottage.
The bodies were found by one of
her other two children who cut
the body down and called police.
According to authorities, Mrs.
Mullin recently underwent a mai
or operation and apparently was
depressed.
The Mullins came here from
Springfield, Mass, about ten
years ago. She was a native Of
New Brunswick, Can.
Automobiles were responsible
for three Of the other violent
deaths.
Mrs. AntOinette Latina, 43,
Plainville, died at New Britain
hospital after being run down by
a car In that city.
At South Coventry, Dwight
Curtis Watson. %, died when his
coupe cOllided with an Arrow
Lines bus. Hospitalized with Sc
we're injuries were the bus driver,

The miSchievous console nce
troubles the personal counselor most
when 1t positively holds up cure.
The moralistic approach to a case
often makes a therapeutic approach
impossible.
A young boy steals; stealing is
wrong; the boy Is to be punished
that is moralism, and is COM
monty leaves the boy worse off than
he was before. A young boys thiev-
cry Is always an endeavor on his
part to adjust himself to circum-
stances. To be sure, it Is maladjust-
ment. but there Is reason for 1t,
and to discover that reason Is the
personal counselors first business.
He Is not a judge but a physician;
his business Is not to condemn but
to cure. Diagnosis not denuncia-
ton. Is the first step.
When a good personal counselor
sees maladjustment, 1t is to him not
first of all O Saskatchewan 1t may
be sinful enough-but O result, with
antecedent causes that must be
traced until its genesis and develop
ment are laid bare, so that through
understanding one may find the way
to eliminate 1t.
Divorce presents endless moral
problems, but in a large number of
broken homes the genesis of the diff
ficulty was not moral at all. A wife
with four children desires to divorce
her husband, not because she loves
another man or because she is dis
commended with her husband as a
friend, but because distasteful to
her, always has been, and has now
become intolerable. no matter how
considerate her husband Is. In deal
ing with that situation moralism Is
irrelevant and powerless. That state
Of mind Is a psychological conse-
quence, with long history behind
it-going back in thsi case to
shock in childhood-and the woman
herself has been both ignorant of
why she feels as she does and i'm
potent to feel otherwise. No lectur-
ing or condemnation can do any
good, only understanding based on
genetic tracing Of her maladjust-
mentis growth and issuing In patient
re-education Of husband and wife
together,

A single person, or married per-
son not living with wife or husband.
is entitled to a personal exemption
for income tax purposes (but not
for victory tax of 81 200 for the year
if he qualified as head Of family"
during 1913.
The term head of family" should
not be confused with the ordinary
meaning of the phrase, since the
fathers and mothers who are ordi-
narily designated by the phrase usu-
ally determine their income tax ex-
emptionS as married persons -
who are also entitled to $1,000 ex-
emption.
Actually, for tax purposes the
phrase head of family" means
others = outside of husbands and
wives living together - who meet
the test Of the following definition:
"A head OF a family is an indi-
vidual who actually supports and
maintains in one maintains in one
household one or more individuals
who are closely connected with him
by blood relationship, relationship
by marriage. or by adoption. and
whose right to exercise family con-
troll and provide for these depend
ent individuals is based upon some
moral or legal obligation"
Examples Of the types Of persons
who can qualify under this defini-
ton are a widow or widower who
maintains home for a dependent
child; son who supports and main
tains a household for a dependent
father or mother.
1t is important to note, however.
that there are four tests that must
be met to qualify a taxpayer as a
head of family.
Test No. /. The dependent
must be maintained by the taxpayer,
except in a few special circum-
stances, in one household: in other
words, under the same roof. How
ever, If the father is absent temper
arily on business. or the child is
away is maintained. Also, If be-
cause Of actual necessity, parent is
obliged to maintain his dependent
children with relatives or in a board
ing house while the parent lives
elsewhere, the exemption may still
be claimed.
Test No. 2. - The taxpayer and
the dependents must be closely re-
lated by blood. marriage, or adop-
ton. Besides legal adoption cases,
the only recognized relationships for
this test are parents (including In
law), grandparents, brothers and
sisters 0ncluding half. STEP, and
-in-law), uncles and aunts. nephews
and nieces. This test rules out un-
related guardians and distant rela-
tives such as cousins.
Test No. 3.-The taxpayer must
exercise family control over the de-
pendents. This test will rule out
many in-laws. Also 1t will rule out
children who are In the armed
services. since they are under the
exclusive control Of the Government.
Test No. 4. - The taxpayers right
to exercise family control and TO
care for his dependents must be
based on some moral or legal right.
Many in-laws are again disqualified
by this test as vel las some step
brothers and sisters. depending. Of
course. on the circumstances Of each
individual case. This test may also
dlsqualify some persons who have
taken unrelated children into their
homes but have not legally adopted
them.
