CIVIC FEDERATION
 PLANNING A FORUM
Meeting Next Month of New Ha- ven Organization of Which
 Trades Council Is Member.

The Civic Federation of New Haven, of which the New Haven Trades Coun- Gil is a member, and President Patrick F. O'Meara of the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor is one of the vice-presi- dents, will hold meeting i'll October, when an effort will be made to establish Forum. The Federation also plans a Community Center House as a mem orlal to the soldiers and sailors and it favors the city managership plan. The fall and winter campaign Is now well under way. Some interesting announce ments of the work planned will soon be made by the treasurer Donald A. Adams. Some suggested "Don'ts" for the Community House or Liberty Build ing are:
 "One.-Dom't model the community house after that of another city. Your needs are peculiar to your community, and your memorial must be original and individual
 "Two.-Don't hold those who origin idea responsible for its success or fail ure. Those who work it out and con- trOl 1t are alone responsible
 "Three.-DOn't think any community house consists merely of a building The house of itself will never function 1t may, indeed, become a monument 'consecrated to uselessness'.
 "Eour.-Dont neglect the question of control. The control, representative of the whole community, not section or clique or organization with outside in terests, is the most important thing after the survey. Organizations having the confidence of the community may initiate the movement but must yield control to the specially appointed or elected group
 "Five.-Don't fail to plan with some reference to future growth, providing J chance for expansion"

Naugatuck Employees Will Arbi-
 trate Differences.


 Naugatuck, Sept. 12.-At a mass meeting of the 1,20O strikers of the United States Rubber Company's pfaI't here last night it was vored to accept an offer made recently by the company for a settlement James F.

GARMENT WORKERS
 ARE NOT DECIDED
No Definite Action Taken -Seid- man and Ornburn in Hartford
 and New Haven.

It was expected that the showdown between the International Ladies' Gar ment Workers Union and the man ufacturers would come this week but nothing definite has been decided and a conference may be held between rep resentatives of the two organizations. Yice-President Seidman of New York and Secretary Ornburn of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor were in Hart ford on Wednesday in conference with the members of the Local in that city. MT. Seidman attended the meeting of the New Haven Local on Thursday night.
 According to some members of the New Haven Local, some manufacturers have acceded to the demands and others have not taken any action. An increase of 50 per cent. over present earnings, a 44-hour week and collective bargain ing are some of the demands presented,

THERE, IS NOTHING NEW ABOUT THE
 ONE BIG UNION, SAYS JOHN P. FREY
Preamble of the oneBg Guild of 1898 Looks Much Like 1919
 Perhaps Similarity Preamble

their influence could be most fully ap- piled upon questions affecting the work CTS as whole. The organizations of the workers in these trades and call 1ngs united themselves into federations, so that through the federated body their united strength could be made avail able.
 The idea of one big union did not originate in America, neither did it or iginate with modern industry Long before machinery was known, at per- 1od when all production was by hand la Dor, during the period of the Medieval Guilds, there were those who believed that the guild comprising. the members of one trade, craft, or calling. was not as advantageous as having one big guild which would embrace all of the work CTS.
 THE o. B. U. IDEA AS IT LOOKED
 BACK IN 1858.
 This idea prevailed to some extent i'll Great Britain, and we have a prac- tical illustration in One Big Guild" organized in Kingston on Hull, in 1898. It was known as the Company of Go1dsrniths, Smiths, Pewterers, Plumbers, G1aziers, Painters, Musicians Stationers, Bookbinders, and Basket makers. In this instance the idea of One Big Guild" was given a thorough tryout for there is some difference between a.goldsmith, a blacksmith, a painter, musician, and basketmaker The preamble to their charter or con- stitution is interesting in these days, for it throws sidelight upon the pres ent day movement for One Big Union" A portion of the preamble to the char ter or constitution reads:
 q. That all and everie the several persons within the towne of Kingston Upon-Hull aforesaid, of the saide sev- eral artes, occupations, and n1istries, being free burgesses (citizens) of the saide towne of Kingston-Upon-Hul1, shall henceforth be but one entire com panic and not several companies"
 The archives of Kingston on Hull contain but scant reference to this one big guild It apparently went up like a skyrocket shedding considerable light for brief period, and then came down like stick.
 The same natural law which made this "One Big Guild" an impractical or ganizatior, operates today with equal | fore.

Spokane, Wash, Sept 12.-William Short, president of the State Federation of Labor, will not be the candidate of the triple alliance for governor of the state. He declared emphatically that he would not listen to the iruportunities of labor all over the state to run for t highest executive office.
 My duty clearly is to labor" said MT Short. "In this crisis in the world s history it is paramount that 1 remain at the helm of labor in this state. have the confidence of the progressives in the labor movement as well as the conservatives, and shall not t1rp from my obvious duty to run for political office"

LET US NOT FORGET THIS
 EVER-BUSY LAW.

Among the laws of nature is the law of diminishing returns,' which works as steadily as the law of gravl- tat1on.
 When any growth, whether i'll na- ture or through the activities of man. reaches a certain point instead of gaining strength, additional growth retards the rate of increase and if car ried far enough becomes a source of weakness.
 The law of diminishing returns" applies with particular force to organ ized labor where differences in the methods of production require different methods or special knowledge. on the part of the groups affected, and this in turn divides the workers into groups who are affected by the particular co T. ditions existing in the industry where they are employed.
 Trades unionism is natural growth the banding together of workers who were affected by the, particular condi- tions existing in the trade or industry in which they wers engaged so that

By JOHN P. FREY.

Editor International Holders Journal.
 There is nothing new in the theory of One Big Union" How far in the distant past the theory had its birth there is no way of discovering, but it was tried out in Europe long before modern history had its birth.
 There has always been something al turing to certain types of mind in the thought of an organization so large, so all-ernbracing, that it could successfully meet and overcome all opposition
 If numbers alone counted for strength, then at least the theory would be sound, but where human be- ings are concerned, large bodies of men invariably make slower progress than smaller numbers. And not only can numbers of men become so great in one organization that it becomes unwieldly but divers interests lead to division of interests, instead of unity, and to weak ness instead of great strength.
 Some of the most powerful organlza- tiolls winch men have form 7d developed internal divisions which did more to weaken their effectiveness than all of the opposition encountered from the outside.
