HARTFORD - Organizer w. H. Woodward of Washington, D. C., of the International Association of Ma chinists, addressed meeting of men employed by the Colt Patent Fire Arms Mfg. sCo., in Machinists hall on Wednesday evening, 9th inst.

He said that workers all over the country were going out on strike, the greater part of which are unorganized.

 After the meeting committees rep resenting various departments at the Colt Company plant said that the re- cent wage increases at the factory were generally satisfactory and the spirit of unrest had somewhat sub sided

THE PASSING OF
 ANNA HART MADDEN
Daughter of Frank J. Madden, a Loyal and Esteemed Trades UniOnist

HARTFORD - Sincere expressions of coincidence are rendered Frank J. Madden and family in the loss by death of daughter Anna Hart Mad den, aged 10 years. Miss Anna was stricken with appendicitis on Sunday, August 10, and was taken to the Hartford hospital for an operation. She passed away son Thursday even ing, the 14th inst. MT.

He did not leave Hartford, however, until assured by attending physicians that his daugh- ter was entirely out of danger, the operation having been very success full, they said. The condition of the patient became suddenly critical on Thursday and Mr. Madden was sum- moned from Providence, but did not reach home until after his daughter had passed away. Deceased is sur vived by her father and mother, and brother Frank J. Madden, Jr.

5000 PAID FOR
 A SINGLE WORD
World Trade Club Offers Prize For Word Which Will Donate the United States and All Parts of Britannia

SAN FRANCISCO-Can you create the one word which will best denote the United States and all parts of Brit annia? If SO, you will be paid at the rate of 5000 word. The World Trade Club of San Francisco has offered 5000 to the person who suggests the word which, in the judgment of the clubs Metric Campaign Committee, is best adapted to worldwide use
 The competition is open to all human kind. The money will be paid to the winner at noon on May 15, 1920, by a committee appointed by President w. H. Hammer of the World Trade Club.
 "Brit-Am," "Ambria,' "Ambrittica, ' "Br-Am,' ''Sam-Bull' are some words thus far suggested. New names are constantly coming. The World Trade Club is offering this award because in carrying on it's present campaign for the adoption of metric units by all Eng lish-speaking people-the United States, the British Isles, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, United South Africa and so on,-it was hampered by the lack of a single short word which would express all these.
 The metric units of weight and meas ure are now used by all the world ex- cept ''Brit-Am" or "Ambrittica" or Sam Bull"

HOW JOHN SPENT
 HIS VACATION
Chairman of Board of Trustees of Hartford C. l.. U. Had Strenuous Time When Strike Fever Struck Capital City

HARTFORD.-John F. Coleman, chairman of the board of trustees of the Hartford Central Labor Union is an indefatigable worker for the cen tral body and organized labor gener- ally. While his middle initial is F, (Faithful) his middle name is Work. And work he does, early and late.
 For some time John had planned on having a nice little vacation for a pe- riod of one whole week. Eventually, the long-looked for time arrived. Then, To and behold, while John was enjoying the morning solitude of the executive board room of the c. L. U. headquarters, along comes body of strikers that desired the use of the large hall. John made due prepara- and again hied himself to the execu- tive board room, probably to resume reading government report on the "cost of high living" or other timely subject. We'll, 'to make long story short," delegations of striking work men, organized and unorganized, kept coming to the c. L. U. headquarters day after day, and John, in the capa- city of chairman of the board of trus- tees, was kept busy from early morn ing until late at night, during the en- tire week of his contemplated vaca- tion, arranging to accomodate the va rious delegations of strikers.
 However, John is happy, and has returned to his unusual vocation of dispensing non-alcoholic beverages not forgetting the union-made cigars
 Better luck next time, John. For, as Dan Stuart might say, "The best laid schemes of men and mice aft gang aglee."
