WEEKLY HOME MEETING.
Catholic women's Association Made
 Plans for the Season.


 The meeting held by the Catholic Women's Association last evening was the most successful that has been held this season. The meeting was opened by Miss Corcoran, the president, who read paper on the objects of the so- ciety. The paper was received with most hearty greeting and then the us- ual business began. From this it would appear that the season is ex- pected to be one of the most success full since the inception of the organi- zation. Plans were arranged to make each meeting an attraction and in- struction. Hereafter a meeting will be held each Thursday evening every week. This meeting will be called a Home meeting. The object is to have the members become acquainted with each other; to unify the differences of its particular purposes.
 The dressmaking class will form for organization tomorrow evening and as this is one of the most important of all the studies it behooves those who desire to join to be on hand early. Fri day evening the classes in art, pen manship, arithmetic and grammar will be formed. and next Monday even ing Miss Loretta Hayes, teacher of physical culture, will be at the hall to meet those who wish to join that class. Friday evening Miss Rufolo expects to meet those who desire to take up the study of art.
 One of the attractions this month will be a Halloween party and a de- lightful program of fun will be ar ranged for that evening. The direc- tors of the society would have it un- derstood that any five members of the society can organize class for the study of any branch of education they wish and, if it is deemed advisable, or any of the members wish, class in French will be formed.
 Every year the society has given in- dications of progress and the prospect with which this season opened is con- sidered brighter than that of any pre- yious year. The attendance last even ing and the interest shown in tue work promises success in every department.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Delegates from the State Holding ses-
 sion in Platt Block.


 The sixteenth annual convention of the State Federation of Labor opened this morning in K. of c. hall, Platt block, East Main street, with, about seventy-five delegates present, the chairman, I. A. Sullivan of Hartford, presiding. The hall is very tastefully decorated and presents a very cheerful appearance.
 The following were appointed as committee on credentials: Messrs Dolan of New Haven, Crombie of Mer- iden. Sandiford of Waterbury, McGib- bon of Derby and Lynch of Danbury.
 The following were appointed as a committee on rules: Messrs Eisele of Hartford, McGrath of Danbury, O'Neill of Danbury and the Misses Dart and KeIleher of Hartford.
 An adjournment was taken until ? o'clock this afternoon and the dele gates not occupied with committee work utilized the recess sightseeing about town, accompanied by members of the local unions.
 On reassembling the committee on organization reported 8 new lodges since the last annual meeting, an in crease of about 450 members. This brings the total membership of the state up to something in the neighbor- hood of 3O,00O. an excellent showing considering that many towns in Con necticut have been rather slow in get ting together and becoming affiliated with the organization. The principal feature of this convention will be the revision of the rules which it is hoped will be performed so thoroughly and in such a satisfactory manner that the next year will show far greater gains than the one just closed.
 The local unions are represented by the following delegates: Central La bor union, Joseph Sandiford; Carpen- ters' union, William Quinn; Buffers and Polishers.' P H. Reil; Cigarmak- ers' union, NI H. Waas: Electrical Wire Workers union. John J. Byrnes, F. Horigan and M. F. Graney. The convention will last three days and is regarded as the most important meeting of the kind ever held in this city, as it is expected that its deliber- ations will result in ml1chs good for the wage earners all over the state. |

INVESTIGATING TRADE.
Does Not Think Great Britain is Los
 ing Commercial Supremacy. :

>oNS -tOI Au1Ak 0EedC bfiCd1Q IS LOS
 ing Commercial Supremacy. ;
 New York, Oct S.-The comments on the subject of the increasing decline Tn British trade, occasioned by AmerI- can competition, has attracted the at tention of Robert Barrett Fithian CT Nottingham, England, a commercial lawyer and member of the British bar. MT Fithian is in this city, after spending several weeks in Canada in- yest1gating trade conditions and study Ing various economic problems. He will remain in this country for some tire on a like mission As to Great Britain losing her commercial suprema- cy. Mir Fithian said:
 'Ihe total of British exports and imports during the past year is the greatest volume of business ever trans acted by any country in the world, and amounts to nearly $S0,00O GOO in- crease over the preceding year, which Is more even than that of the United States, whose prosperity is the marvel of us all. I admit that so far as the United Kingdom is concerned the in crease is, due mainly to imports, a large proportion of which is composed or foodstuffs. This is the only thing that gives Great Britain cause for anx- lety, for each year she is becoming more dependent upon the foreigner fo1 her food supply, but her colonies are amply able to provide her with pro. visions for her increasing population for the increased cost only of trans portation."
