FOR A SERVANT GIRLS UNION,

Once more plans are under considera- tion by the officers of the Federated Trades Council for a thorough organi- zation of the domestic servants in this, city, and a campaign which is designed to bear fruit in well established union before many months is to be started and carried on with vigor. While it is not the intention of the promoters of the movement completely to revolution ize domestic service, they admit that many changes in the rules now govern ing working girls in kitchens will be made.
 The union is to be formed by Frank J. Weber. business agent of the Feder- ated Trades Council and general or ganizer for the Wisconsin State Fede- ration of Labor, assisted by Hiram Rogers, firmerly business agent of the Allied Printing Trades. The co-opera- tion of the Women's Label League and the various acxiliaries of the unions af- tiliated with the Federated Trades Council will be asked.
 As a reason why the new union should receive the earnest support of most of the unions in the labor move- ment, it Is pointed out that union ser want in private kitchen will be able to exercise a great influence over the household provisions which may be purchased and to discriminate against manufactured foodstuffs, such as flor, baking powder. bakers bread, which are on the cnfair list of union labor.
 Furthermore, it is pointed out that fully eighty per cent. of the servant class is courted by young mechanics ! and artisans. If the servant girls are nionized they will be able to exercise a great influence over their sweethearts and, the union men believe, cause many yong men who would otherwise remain non-union workmen, to join the unionh of their trade.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

UNION LABEL MUST NOT
 BE USED FOR DECEPTION
UNITED MATTERS WIN THEIR CASE AGAINST MANUFACTURERS

Judge Shumway in Superior Court Or
 ders an Accounting and Issues q Per-
 manent InjunctiOn-Firm EnjOined
 From Further Use of Offending La-
 bel.
 Bridgeport, Aug. 2S.-Judge Milton A. Shumway. in the superior court, has handed down a decision ill the suit of the United Hatters of North America against c. H. Merritt & Son, of Dam bury, in favor of the plaintiffs.
 The matters sued, alleging that the firm was getting business by counter feiting the union label on goods made by non-union wOrkmen.
 Judge Shumway orders an account ing by the firm with the matters, and issues a permanent injunction restrain ing the firm from using any more of the offending labels. The decision is accompanied by quite an interesting memorandum.
 In the memorandum Judge Shumway practically eXonerates the n0n-uniOn firm from any intention to deceive or defraud. stating that these allegations in the suit were not proven, although at the same time he finds the firm guilty of cOunterfeiting the union label. He says:
 Section 491O of the general statutes makes it the duty of the court to grant an injunction. to restrain the use and display of any counterfeit or imitation of label adopted by any union of workingmen."
 Judge Shumway goes on to state that section 49O9 provides that the rec ord of the label shall be sufficient proof of it's adoption by the union. Tt is ap- parent" he says, from the eight la bels exhibited, that they are limitations of the plaintiffs label. The defendants have used and are using three imita- tions, and it follows that the plaintiffs are entitled to relief that the statutes provide in such cases.
 The injunction is made permanent and judgment is given that the defend- ants account to the plaintiff for the profits derived from the wrongful use of such imitation labels, as provided in section 4910 of the general statutes" i In finding that the allegations in par | agraphs four and five of the plaintiffs complaint were untrue Judge Shumway says that there was abundant testimo- ny to show that some non-union hats were of better material and superior workmanship than those made by union workmen.
 In regard to the special defense of c. H. Merritt & Son that the union la bel was a weapon of boycott it cannot be used in the case upon which, he says, it has no bearing, whether 1t be , true or not. l''
 | An appeal will probably be taken by c. H. Merritt & Son to the supreme court of errors.
