 Local No. 7Q Carpenters and Join CTS Union, of New Haven had an un- usual amount of business on Monday night. It was voted to donate $50 to the fund of the Connecticut Federation of Labor to equip the new offices for the executive board. It was reported to the meeting that Is carpenters employed on the Hardness Quadrangle at Yale had walked out because it was alleged that an assistant superintendent had used arbitrary methods. He was said to have ordered some of the carpenters to go to work on another job and they refused and quit the job. Since then an effort has been made to replace them with other union carpenters but this effort has not been successful. There was no disagreement over wages and all the men at work on the job are union men.
 A special call meeting of Local 79 will be held on Monday evening, Octo- Der 20 when a vote will be taken on the question of changing the place of holding the national convention from Butte to Indianapolis. While Butte, Montana, was selected as the next con- yer1tion city, 1t is said that most of the 1 carpenters favor Indianapolis where the offices of the. national body are located.

COUNCIL
 AND THE CITY
 MANAGER PLAN
New Ravens Central Body Ap- points Committe to Act With
 Civic Federation.
WILL INVESTIGATE
Plan to Secure Full Information Concerning Proposed Change
 in Method of City Government.

The City Manager Plan of govern ment for New Haven came up for ex- tended discussion at the meeting of the New Haven Trades Council, Thursday evening, and it was voted to appoint g committee of three to consider, the proposition with the Civic Federation which is back of the movement, and other organizations which are inter ested.
 The matter came before the meeting in the form of communication from the Civic Federation, as follows
 Some days ago the executive com mittee of the Civic Federation had a meeting at which it discussed the possi- bi1ity of starting a campaign to obtain the City Manager Plan of government for New Haven. As an outcome of the discussion it was decided to ask your organization, the Chamber of Com merce, the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs to each appoint committees of three to CO., operate on this matter.
 "The Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs and the Civic Fedora ton are, I feel sure all in sympathy with this plan and if they have not al- ready done so they will in the near future appoint their committees.
 T would be glad if you would ap- pOlnt three men IO' represent yOuI OI- ganization to meet with us when the time comes to take this up. If you should want to know more of the details in regard to this matter, I am sure that MT. O'Meara would be glad to talk with you about it as he has been present at all of the meetings where it has been discussed"
 Following some discussion Delegate Patrick F. O'Meara, who has been one of the executive board of the Civic Fed eratior for six years, told of the excel lent work which has been accomplished along civic lines by the federation and gave an outline of the City Manager Plan.
 It was agred that the Trades Council should at least participate in the inves- tigation of the subject and the motion to appoint committee was passed.

Henley, international organizer of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees International Alliance and the Bartend- ers' International League of America.

THIS BAKERY FOUGHT UNION
Now Its Ovens Are Cold, Its Doors Are Locked and Flies
 Gather in the Windows.

About the only customer at the bakery on Broadway, near York street, this week was minion of the sheriff who had legal duty to perform. 1 he bakery went out of business and the parapherna1ia for making pies and other goods was sold this week for $3, 500 to man who will dispose of the property to a practical baker. This bakery changed hands short time ago but it was not unionized. The former owners were not only opposed to hav- ing union bakers employed but they went out of their way to antagonize the organization. The bakery ran a closed shop this week for the doors were pad locked. Most of the people in this town who are friendly to organized labor were familiar with the conditions and word to the wise is sufficient. Some idea of the, way this place was watched can be had from the fact that a man was seen standing in front of the show window so long that it was supposed he was selecting some kind of a sweet cake he intended to buy and it was re- ported that he. was patroniZing the place. His alibi was that he was only admiring beautiful girl who was ar ranging the window display. Members of the New Haven Local of the Bakers and Confectionery Workers Union hope that the new owners will make union shop out of the place and profit by the mistakes of the former pro- prietOrs.
 The New Haven Local has made ar arrangements to hold its meetings here after in Trades Council Hall on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. As the large hall was engaged recently for the box party of the Cap makers Union for next Saturday night, October Il, ,-the bakers will meet tonight i'll that hall instead of next Saturday. The union has been meeting at 130 Orange street. Warden McCabe was notified of the change and he has prom ised to have the hall i'll apple pie order just because the bakers make apple pies. At the meeting tonight, August F. Stri- by, one of the leading members of the union and an official of the New Haven Trades Council, will tell about new job he has got.
 The Federal bakery, which gave up its lease of a store on Orange street, has stored its equipment in this city and it may open a place near Congress avenue and Meadow street.

Relative to the statements that have been credited to Iudge Gary recently in

the press, in which he has been quoted as giving his opinion as to the best thing to maintain in industry whether it be closed or open shop, President Patrick [. O'Meara of the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor, when asked by repre- sentative of The Connecticut Labor Press to make statement as to the stand of Judge Gary, last evening gave out the following:
 "tIt is fact that labor unions through their organizations insist upon those that work i'll and on a particular in dustry in afiliating themselves with the respective organization of that industry
 This is done for the protection of the wage earners of that industry, and not for the dominance that labor unions are charged with by the statement of MT. Gary.
 'It IS true that trade unionists after accomplishing their organization, feel quite keenly from natural standpoint, that those that work in an industry and do not contribute to the work that IS being done that all efforts be brought to bear upon those not then affiliated to become part of the organization, and to help pay for the burdens of the work.
 Ut is true that individual complaints are made against labor unions for carry ing out rules that work for the benefit of the whole and against that of the disgruntled individual. But the particu- lar part of Mir. Gary's article that states that the open shop stands for progress and prosperity, cannot be accepted as true.
 The open shop in industry of this and other countries is a closed shop against men and women that are known to have afiliation with labor union.
 '"The dominance that MT. Gary ac- cuses the labor unions of is patterned after those activities of the employers of the nation, of which MT. Gary is a

Tale Of Two kentuckians.
And here, for good measure, is a story that shows
what kind Of a people we are: Morgan. the raider.
along about '63, swOoped down upon the Federal
garrison at Hartsville, Tenn. Morgan had only
about ZOO men, while the Union forces numbered
about 1000. Still, Morgan usually knew what he
was about result-several hundred Federals killed
and the rest captured.
AS soon as the battle was over the Confederates
recrossed the Cumberland river. Among the rear
guard was Private Lurton of the Third Kentucky
cavalry. He was the last man to recross the
river and just ahead of him was the last Confeder-
ate wagon loaded with Federal muskets and other
captured articles.
In the meantime the sound of MOrgans guns
had disturbed the slumbers of another Kentuckian.
This one was q Union soldier, Harlan by name. aud
he was colonel of the Tenth Kentucky infantry nj
Castalian Springs, six miles from Huntsville. He
Immediately started with his regiment to the re-
lief Of the garrison at Huntsville.
Harlan and his regiment reached the top of q
bluff back from the river just as Lurton and the
last wagon Of the Confederates were in the mid
die of the Cumberland. Harlan had a field piece
along and he pointed 1t at the Confederate cavalry
man and banged away. He didn't hit the cavalry
man; so he tried again and kept trying.
Nevertheless, Harlan's shells hit the river In
the immediate vicinity of cavalryman and wagon.
and they made a nightly splash. The driver cut
loose his mules and made record time to the shore.
If Lurton tarried. there Is no record of 1t.
About so years later, in black robes, the colonel
behind the cannon and the private on the horse
sat side by side on the bench of the most august
tribunal of the world. For the Federal was John
Marshall Harlan and the Confederate was Horace
Harmon Lurton-and both were associate justices
of the Supreme court Of the United States OF
America.
This United States of ours Is a great country
and 1t is just such things as this Naturalization
affair that makes us sure Of Ii.
When one Of these Kentuckians banged away at
the other our country was In the throes of the
Aercest and bloodiest civil war Of all history. And
that was Just about half a century ago.
SiEce then we have grown to be the wealthiest
and most powerful nation on earth. But. better
still. we have outgrown the things that set Union
soldiers against Confederate, until the presence OF
these two fighting men Of the Civil war side by
dde upon the Supreme court bench was truly
typical OF sectional strife forgotten and a country
reunited. w -

Repair With Ford Parts.

In their advertisement this week
the Yonce Motor Company calls
Ford car owners attention to the i'm
portance of having their repairs done
with genuine Ford-made parts, in
stead of using bogus substitutes that
are made here, there and everywhere.
1t is conceded by people who know
that good material is used by Ford
manufacturers because their reputa-
tion is at stake. When cheap, shoddy
substitutes are used in making re-
pairs, the people who make these
parts have no reputation at stake.
Such parts are made to sell. Use only
Ford-made parts in having repairs
made on your Ford autos and trucks.
