for 1886 has been voted. The year of 1885 saw one of the bitterest city election campaigns in its history with a newly directed g.o.p. Organ- ization going down to defeat.
 Registrars Removed
 In the middle of the year another piece of history was made as the superior court removed the demo- cratic and republican registrars Of voters, Henry O'Connor and Thomas F. Dillane. More unusual features were written into the city history when the superior court, which was later upheld by the supreme court denied the right to Mayor Hayes to fill the two vacancies.
 Various forms of legislation passed by the legislature during its 1885 session brought about many changes in local city government. Principal among the reforms was the edict abolishing the first taxation district and ordering into the second taxa tion district the Park Road school district.
 Waterbury's grand list increased during 1885. City officials recorded an increase in tax payments.
 During the year Prosecuting Ate torney Joseph A. Neagle died. His place was filled by Attorney John D. Thoms, democratic leader of the house of representatives.
 Postmaster Named

Babin, who will retire from the board of finance next Monday after over 20 years or service on city boards. He was named during the year to succeed the late Postmaster Albert N. Cdl- grove, republican.
 Numerous innovations in the city government have been adopted dur ing the year and the indebtedness of the city has been cut, in compari- son to similar periods in other years. under the able direction of Con- troller Daniel J. Leary.
 And as the year closes the city sees it's mayor, Lieutenant Governor Hayes, being boomed for the nomi- nation of governor. The 1886 state and national activities will, it is be- lieved, see much activity.

The past year brought with it no crimes as sensational as those which marked the previous year in Water bury and nearby, but the 12 months now ending showed that the Brass City has police force that is able and efficient in both the prevention and solution of crime. Hardly a ma jor crime of the year in the city went without arrests being made, and thorough investigations by the detective bureau brought to light the full background of number of mysterious cases.
 There were no crimes this year which could compare with the 1884 double killing committed by John Crow in Wolcott, and the hermit's

 YOUNG HUSBAND
Judge Says Most Work Accused Done Was
 Raising Mustache

Judge John F. McGrath, whose keen wit has enlivened many a city court session, disposed of the last case to come before him in 1885 with characteristic sallies.
 The last court matter of the year was a non-support case, in which a 19-year old husband was arraigned on complaint of his 17-year old bride. It was the 'steenth time that the pair had been in court since early in the year, and as Judge McGrath saw the accused, he ex- claimed: What, again?"
 He's supposed to be paying me g a week for the support of wife and baby" the wife said of her husband, land he never pays me. 1"
 Cant he gets a job from the WPA or the ABC?" asked Judge McGrath.
 "He won't try, judge" said the better half.
 The judge looked at the husband. who was leaning back against the side wall, one hand leisurely en- gagged in picking his teeth.
 T can't understand that" com- mented the judge, as he looked at the hubby, "he looks like an ann bilious chap"
 T can't get work, judge" said the husband languidly.
 "The most work you've done since you got married" said Judge Me- Grath with a scathing look at Q fuzz on the boys upper lip, was to try to raise a mustache."

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Word is being passed around in labor circles here that the. next conven- ton Of the American Federation of Labor meeting in Atlantic City next fall, may produce a fight to the finish between the :industrial and tvade unionistso ai,d,5;R fjSy
 Burly, pagna2ious John L. Lewis president of the united mine work CTS and a stauch believer that mass production workers should be organized by industry instead of by craft, is on the war path.
 The trade -unicn- controlled eXecu- tive council of the A. F. of L. has handed Lewis and his allies one of the most important set-backS they have received in a long time. It came in the councils ruling on the Anaconda copper case. @
 Various craft unions were given about 400 emp.oyes of Anaconda un- der ruling of the council who were claimed by the mine, mill and smell ter workers an industrial union.
 Lcwia Voted Down
 The ruling angered Lewis. He an nounaed he will appeal to the con- Vention in Atlantic City to back his stand without reservations else he VIII precipitate show-down battle.
 The situation seems to be this,
 Lewis joined the president of the western metal miners union in his contention that the mine, mill and smelter workers should take in all employees in and about the mines" just as the united mine workers take in all employees at the coal mines whether miners or carpenters.
 The craft union members of the council voted down Lewis and Geoge L. Berry of the printing pressmen's union, another industrial unionist. Lewis second ally on the council-David Dubinsky, president of the Ladies garment workers was absent when the vote was taken.
 Arguments Advanced
 Lewis and his fellow industrial unionists contend that divided or ganization means divided strength of bapganizing power with employ CTS. Many large employers also fa- vor industrial unionism to, save duplicate bargaining. Elimination of "Jurisdictional strikes also is advanced by labor leaders as a reason for organization by industry rather than by craft Jonstiuction jobs, particularly often are tied up for long periods when one union strikes in protest to cer- tain work going to another craft.
