HAROLD PAUL
 HELD RESPONSIBLE
Continued from Page l.l

(Continued from Page lO l, lssS, Helen TEurlbut, was driv- ing a Packard sedan easterly on Meriden road near the Tyler Lad der Shop. In the car with her were her aunt, Miss Louise Buck land, her mother, Mrs. Annie B. Hurlbut and Mrs Belle B. Futile. Miss Hurlbut was driving on her own right side of the road and at a moderate rate of speed. After she had passed the Tyler Ladder Shop and was about in front of Tyler's house General Baking truck, in charge of Harold Paul, was coming westerly on the same road. Paul was travelling at a speed probably not exceeding tl1irty-five miles an hour, but was quite well over on to his wrong side of the road and coming along into the path of Miss Hurlbut's machine. Miss Hurlbut sounded her horn, but Paul made no change in his course and she then turned to her left to avoid Paul, as there was opportunity to pass on the wrong side of him and get on to her own side of the road again before she would get into the path of traffic approaching behind him. AS she pulled over on to the left side of the road Paul suddenly turned his truck abruptly toward the side on to which she was go- ing and as her front wheels had reached the opposite side of the road drove his truck into the right side of Miss Hurlbut's car back of the right front wheel and about at the beginning of the sedan body. The impact was so severe that Paul himself was thrown out on to the road and all of the occupants Of Miss Hurlbut's car were injured. All of them were removed to hos pitals suffering from brain concus- sions and other injuries.
 Mrs. Futile suffered a compound fracture of the skull, with intra- cranial hemorrhage, compound fracture of the right femur, and multiple contusions about the body. She was taken to St. Marys hos pital where she died, as 8 result of the injuries sustained, at 10:o5 D. m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time, on the same day.
 I find that the said death was caused by compound fracture of the skull with intracranial hemor- rhage, compound fracture of the right femur, hemorrhage and contusions and shock, sustained when the car in which deceased was riding, driven by Miss Hurlbut, was struck by the truck driven by Har- old Paul, and that said death was caused by the gross and criminal negligence of said Harold Paul.
 In compliance with the Statute have filed with the Clerk of the Su- perior Court for New Haven County at Waterbury my report of the inquest together with the testimony taken.
 Dater at Waterbury, Connecti- cut, this 11th day of October, A. D. 1885.

LABOR FORCES TO
 SEEK MEMBERS
Continued from Page lo

in recent years, this is the first time a co-ordinated drive has been or- dered.
 During the last year the fedora ton gained approximately 1000, 900 members. Leaders hope to exceed that total before the next conven- ton.
 An invitation to hold next years meeting in Detroit was extended.
 The organization drive among wo- men will be largely among the tex tile workers, laundries, n1illiners. garment workers, restaurant en- ployes, teachers and beauticians.
 Want Woman Leader
 A part of the campaign is direct ed toward having a woman named to the executive council.
 Miss Rose Schniederman, pres- ident of the National Women's Trade Union League, is ope of the leaders. Allied with her are Eliza beth Christman of Washington, Fannia Cohn of New York and Marion Burns of Kansas City, all the driving type of labor organiz- CTS.
 The new woman leadership in la bor is ir1 contrast to the tactics of the women best known in the labor movement - Mother" Jones who died in Maryland five years ago.
 Mother" Jones, beloved to gen. erations of union men, was on the firing line in coal field strikes in West Virginia and Colorado, went to jail with the men she liked to call "my boys" and could fight in & lusty manner with brickbats or barrel-staves.
 Women Better Adapted
 The women in the movement now are more feminine, brainy, energetic poised in manner, and with an abid- ing relief in their cause.
 Linked with the organization move is 8 plan to enlist the wives and mothers of industrial workers in program to "buy union" by purchasing only union made goods and services. .
 The firm rule over federation policies which had been exercised by the all-powerful executive coun- Gil was beginning to relax in the face of determined rank-and-file opposition.
 The leadership was repudiated yesterday when by two-to-one vote the convention rejected its plan to seat John w. Williams as the building trades delegate and demanded that the building trades unions make further efforts to set- tie their conflict.
