latter's plan for nationwide orgaia- ization of labor along industrial rather than craft lines.
 Lambert Organization
 The CIO is also winning strength here through the successful crgani- zation work of George Lamberts national organizer.
 Dubinsky's action places the gar- ment workers union on the list ox those unions suspended by the American Federation of Labor. It is one of the most powerful unions in the entire country, has . huge membership, and has put into ef- feet numerous plans for the benefie of its members, among them Q plan for low-cost medical care that has been widely copied.
 The International Ladies' Car ment Workers Union here has membership in several local fac- tories. Women make up by far the majority of its local members. The locals largest representation is at the Watertown Undergarment colia- pany, where more than 400 women joined the union shortly after going out on strike last year. The strike was settled after Ilegotiatiopc, with the union winning several impcr- tant points, aYnong them wage tn- creases and changes in working cons ditions.
 Distinction
 The union is @ perfect example of the Lewis industrial organization plan as opposed to the Green craft organization plan. All the workers in the industry are joined in one union, whereas the craft unionists claim that all those doing the same type of work, no matter what in- dustry they are in, should belong to the same union.
 The ILGWA local strongly favcrs the industrial organization plan. and its leaders are reported ready to follow MT. Lewis lead in battling the craft organization plan and h seeking to organize along industrial lines.
 Meetings Held
 MT. Lambert, Q member of the Lewis camp, has been engaged in organization work in Waterbury for several weeks. He is said to have met with considerable success, and to have organized groups in several major factories. Meetings of various workers groups have been held reg ularly here during recent weeks. and MT. Lambert has quietly been winning members to the Lewis cause.

Out of the welter of proposed liquor cures which have cluttered up the world since the recent noble experiment" was conceded an ignominous failure comes one which has completed its first week in Waterbury and which enthus. lasts believe is destined to startle the nation. It blossomed forth full lowered in city court as the brain-child of Probation Officer Enail Hummel and is known ap- propriately as "The, Hummel Pledge" It was conceived and ded- icated as follows:
 Judge John F.. McGrath was confronted early this week with 8 marked increase in the number of cnses of intoxication presented. From the bench, his honor re- marked: Something will have to be done. Norwich is crowded to capacity. Sentences to the town farm are more or less intellectual" !" After pondering the matter brief ly he turned to the probation of- ficer. 4 "
 "Mr. Hummel," he said. "Your resorucefulness is a matter of rec ord. I'm going to release these de- hsndants in your custory. Give 'em the pledge" MT. Hummel rose nobly to the occasion. Ten Tnin- ttes' hard work with a borrowed pencil produced the now famous "Humnel Pledge" It reads as fol- dows:
 T solemnly swear to imbibe no intoxicating liquors whatsoever for a period of one year. promise to adhere faithfully to this pledge for at least six months"
 "You can't beat it." says MT. Hummel enthusiastically. ''They stay on the wagon for the first six months looking forward to the second six. It works like charm" 1"
