 Arrangements are under way for the calling of a state convention Of the Federation of Labor to be held at New Haven in the near future for the pur- pose of taking action on the trolley strikes at Bridgeport and Waterbury, ! and also to take such steps as may be deemed advisable to put organized la | bor in a position to cope with similar emergencies according as they present themselves, This will bring together representatives of every union in the state connected with the Federation 1 of Labor and will be the largest labor meeting ever held in Connecticut. A strong effort is being made in Water bury and elsewhere to create discord among the ranks of organized labor l and 1t is believed that the coming con.
 vention will go long ways towards l proving to the working people that if they want to hold what they have, to 1 say nothing about improving their condition, 1t Is their bounden duty to stand together
