Organized Labor Will Fight to Have Water Contract Submitted to People.
 New Haven. Dec 20.-The Trades council of New Haven held largely attended meeting last night. Nearly every delegate was in his seat by s o'clock Shortly after that hour Pres ident Frank J. Horan offered a resolu- ton which is intended to begin the fight of the organized labor of the city against the ratification of the water contract
 A resolution was adopted, and Sec retary Philip Daley was ordered to Mayor Stul1ey and to Corporation Counsel Daggett.
 The resolution to the aldermen is as follows:
 Whereas, the so-ca1led eternal wa ter contract into which the city of New Haven and the New Haven Wa ter company have ostensibly entered will, if it is ratified by the legislature, have the effect Of taking from the con- munity without compensation a value amounting to millions of dollars, and whereas such a contract ought not to be ratified without tho undoubted con sent of the electors of New Haven.
 Therefore be it resolved, that we re- quest the honorable board of aldermen to cause 8 committee of it's own mem bers to be appointed to urge upon the for the city of New Haven that the so-cal1ed water contract should not be made binding upon either of the parties concerned until it has been ratified at the polls at reg u1ar election by the electors.
 Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the honorable board of aldermen, to his honor. the mayor, and to the honor able corporation counsel.
 'F. J. KORAN, President.
 PHILIP DALEY. Secretary"
 The copy sent to the mayor differs slightly from the above i'll that he is requested to urge upon the legislature that the contract should be submitted to the people.

 Talking about stage Irishmen re- minds me of an incident that occurred in Irving hall several years ago when the late Father Duggan was giving a fair to raise funds to continue work on the massive structure known as St Patriclx's church which will be ded- fcated next January. Father Duggan had a keen sense of humor and serious as he was he could enjoy a joke as well as any man I ever knew and if vout caught him in the right mood he couId tell some amusing stories him. ee1f. But the man who joked in his nresence had to be careful and keep within certain bounds else he was sure ia be called down. But was talking about the fair The pastor entrusted fhe amusement program to a few of fhe Sunday school teachers who decid- cd that it would be great hit to get a young man now the faithful janitor .,f one of the public schools, to give an Irish character sketch. Tn those days fhe future 5anitor had few equals at inc business and many think that if 11a had followed the stage he would have made his mark in the profession. Put if is thought that the setback he z,ef with that night knocked all tie f{*{oronlc ambition out of him and zhere Is reason for saying so because
