NEW HAVEN HIGH
 DEBATERS LOST
 TO LOCAL SCHOOL

That Trade Unions Are Essential to Sue cessful Collective Bargaining" Bridgeport won by two to one vote Theodore Steiber, Attorney w. H. Comley, Jr., and Principal Carl Churchhin of Unquowa school of Fairfield.
 Members of the Bridgeport team were Samuel Friedman, Joseph DoE~ nelly Theodore Schwartz and Elsie Anderson as alternate, who took the affirmative while the negative side was taken by the New Haven team composed of Samuel Shapiro, Rus sell Flanagan and Arvin Weideman.
 The members of the local team said that trade unions were essential to collective bargaining and that they have proved successful, while the op- posing team said that the shop com- mittee plan, the employees assocIa- tions. and the Fedoral plan have proved successful and have been an adjunct to production and efficiency of plants ia which they were organ ized All these plans, the Elm City bows said worked under favorable conditions and hence trade unions were not essential to collective bar gaining. The Bridgeport team man aged to break down the New Haven argument and won the decision. Roth teams presented their argu- ments clearly and effectively and won the applause of the audience
