Swift s Will
 Offered As New Evidence

The trial of the case of Agnes Boucher against J. B. Klein ct al-. executors of the estate of Frederick R. Swift, was continued this morn occupied by the examination of At torney J. B. Klein on the stand for the defense. Damages are asked of S2O,000 because of an alleged libel ,ous article printed in the Sunday Herald on Dec 1, 1918.
 The defense has endeavored to prove that the executors are not re- sponsible for the management of the Herald, trying to shift the blame to Richard Howell, the manager. How ever, the fact that Klein or the third executor. Samuel F. Beardsley, must countersign all checks was advanced by Attorney Daniel E. Brennan for the plaintiff to show that the 'execu- tor- handle the business affairs of the paper.
 Attorney Theodore A. Steiber clerk of the City court was called, but most of the testimony he was asked to give hv the defense was objected to by the plaintiff, and in most instances the objection sustained. He had no rec ords of the case, saying that in cases where minors were involved the judge kept all records.
 The will of the late Frederick R. Swift was introduced as evidence by the defense while Klein was on the stand. The will was made in Sea breeze, Fla, a suburb of Daptona, on Dec. 24, 1910, being filed at the coun- ty seat of Nolusia county, Fla, the Town of DeLand. MT. Swift died the second day of the following April and the plaintiff has tried since the inception of the case to prove that the executors appointed under this will have had control of the business of the publication since.
 The will stipulated that Richard Howell was to own a third interest in the newspaper besides drawing a salary for managing same, the salary to be S3.000 year. The plaintiff finished yesterday afternoon, and it seems probable that the defense will close today. A short recess was talk en at 2 o'clock.

URGING ONE BIG
 UNION
Proposal Made First Time In History of American
 Federation of l. bor-
 Lewis May Gust Gompers

Denver, Colo, June 16-Pro- posal of a "One Big Union" in the American Federation of Labor has been made for the first time in the Federation's history.
 Two resolutions introduced today provide for united action by all crafts affiliated with the Federation which would enable the body to operate in effect as one big union on matters vital to organized labor in general
 One resolution would empower the executive council with the authority to declare general strike to combat nationwide movements to reduce wages and union standards.
 The other introduced by delegates from the West Virginia State Fedora tion of Labor, declaring that organ iZed labor, having reached the point in it's history of advancement where there must be a unit of understanding g and action, one craft with another, or be destroyed by the enemy of our cause, provides that in their con tracts all crafts shall insert a clause which will enable each to come to
  ture contracts entered into by organ lzed labor shall expire simultaneous ly.
 Decaring that the credit system of the country is being used by the great banking firms and insurance groups to crush organized labor a resolution introduced by Matthew Woll, eighth i've president of the federation, pro poses that the Executive Council make an ezXhaustive investigation of the system and ascertain the possibili- ties of pooling all the proxies held by organized labor in mutual insurance companies to combat the interest inimical to the unions. with their own weapons"
 Politics and the Irish question will keep the convention of the American Federation of Labor seething from now on, according to developments today.
 The movement to oust Samuel Gompers, for 39 years head of the federation, has come to life with bang, the campaign to elect John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Work CTS of America, the largest union in the federation is now out in the open.
 Lewis supporters are actively at work in his behalf, making known that he is a receptive candidate and sounding sentiment They declare their activities and Lewis silence have filled Gompers with apprehen- sion.

Suatford May Bar Jitney
 Buses From Its Main Street
 Under Rules Effective July 15

The latest reported fate of the jit- neys that travel through Stratford is that under the new rules effective, to go into effect July 15, is that the buses are to be barred from Main streets entirely. This would not seriously affect the New Haven, Wal nut Beach, nor Derby lines, to any serious extent, but many believe it would eventually be the death knen or the Paradise Green line, which. IS far as Stratfordites are concerned, is the one most used
 The Derby buses can be sent down Barnum avenue, and the Walnut Beach and New Haven jitneys can be detoured to reach Stratford avenue or Barnum avenue without greatly changing the present routes, but the course that it is rumored will be as signed to the Paradise Green lines is over roads, that at least a part of which were absolutely impossible during a part of last winter.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-06-16

A route said to be under discus sion would cause the buses leaving the Green to go across Wilcoxson avenue to East Main treet. East Main street to East Broadway, thence to Elm street, triking Main at the Christ church corner, using Main street only as far as Stratford avenue. This route would deprive many persons on Main street of a five cent service to Stratford center, and will give immediate service to other parts of the town not yet serveA But the roads are not of the best over some of the line. the dis tance considerably greater and ic is believed by some who have watched the situation closely that the buses would gradually disappear from the run unless a great number of patrons living on Main street walked to the terminal or to the center to catch the buses going to Bridgeport
