Naugatuck, Sept. 2-With the in- troduction yesterday of . petition to have the name of Frederick w.. Puckey of Waterbury placed on bal- lot labels in voting machines here, for the November 3 election, 1t seems @ foregone conclusion that the Union party, apparently sup ported by local units of the National Union for Social Justice, will be represented in the presidential elec- ton.
 The petition, signed by 24 local residents, was offered yesterday at the office of Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr. It asks that MT. Puc- keys name be placed on the ballot as candidate for congressman from the fifth congressional district.
 The signers of the petition are known to be connected with the N. U. 8. J. here. Fifteen would be enough legally for the success Of the petition. whether any further candidates will be offered later is not known, but there is still time 1OE lUs 1IlS bt4bS 40W .ACAoAASS SsAs"s such petitions must be made by a time 2l days before the election.

hierarchy, was regarded as the Fed eration's "fair-haired boy"
 Lieutenant Elected
 However, when the executive council gathered at an emergency meeting in December to choose @ president, the power of Lewis was already in evidence. The bulky miner had once before been a can- didate for the position and, since he was not eligible for this special election because he was not a coun- ell member, his lieutenant, William Green was selected.
 At that time Green was regarded as devotee of the vertical organ ization. He was Secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, Lew is friend, and had a good labor rec ord as state senator from his Cosh- octon, O., district. He was known to his friends as Mine Run Bill" for his activities in forcing through legislation favoring the pitworkers and to his enemies as Slippery Bill" because of his smooth, con- ciliatory methods.
 Green had already put himself on record as opposed to the craft union. In 1917 he had written:
 Higher Form
 "The organization of men by in- dustry rather than by crafts brings about a more perfect organization, closer cooperation, and tends to de- velop the highest form of organiza- ton. =.
 Summing up the situation, some of the advantages resulting from an industrial form of organization are the reduction of opportunities or causes for jurisdictional disputes, the concentration of economic strength, the blending into har- monious cooperation of all men em- ployed in industry, and the advance ment and protection of the interests of the unskilled laborer in the same proportion as that of the skilled worker"
 During the first six years of the Green presidency there was no oc. caSion for dispute over this view. He refused to allow his own beliefs to interfere with what he regarded to be the desires of his executive coun. ell and continued the strong craft policies of the A. F. of L.
 Membership Wanes
 While internal peace continued on the surface, the United Mine Workers, Greens and Lewis union, encountered difficulties. Strikes, op- position of coal operators, and the general economic situation combined to reduce is membership from ap. proximately 100000 to about 250, 900.
 While membership waned and Ohio and Pennsylvania coal oper- ators abrogated their agreements, Lewis fought bitterly with two lead- CTS who were later to return to his side. These were John Brophy, now director of the c. I. O., and Powers Hapgood, a brilliant organizer for that body.
 These two men were busted from the U. M. w. for attempting to form a dual organization known aS the National Miners Union. Not until 1884 did they return to the Lewis fold.
 Oflshoot Union
 This was not the last attempt at dualism within the weakened union.

New York, Sept. 2.-That durable materials are being used in new construction and in modernizatioia of homes is indicated in 8 state ment issued today by Bertram B. Caddle, secretary of the Capper & Brass Research association. In this connection he states:
 "From a survey just made by our association 1t is very evident that the amount of money ex- pended in the building held dur. ing l936 will be only about hall the amount spent in 1929 and coi1- siderably less than in any or the other boom building years pre- cedinR 1929. Despite this fact, the tonnage of brass pipe and copper tubing for water lines will exceed the consumption of any boom year by more than 10,000,000 pounds.
 Record Expected
 According b statistics compiled by the F. w. Dodge Service there was expended for the first seven months of 1929 6 total of $3,664,- 4s2, 600 in building, while for the same period of ls36 the amount given by that organization is $l,- 532, ,565, 100. With much lyess than half the amount of money spent in the building field during the first seven months of this year cor1- pared with the same period of 1929, the tonnage of brass pipe and cop per tubing for water lines has shown more than a 20 per cent in- crease. The total for the year may very well exceed 9o,000,oo0 pounds which will establish Q new all tune record for the use of these ma terials.
 During the postwar building boom years speculative builders in many instances used cheap ma terials in the construction of homes. They were cheap only when first cost was taken into consideration.

Brass, Copper Figures
 In Construction Work
New Al- Time Record Looms as Demand Increases for
 Durable Materials in Modern Home Building

In most every instance expensive repairs were necessary before the buyer had been able to pay oil his mortgage. The repairs were largely for lealky roofs and rusted and chok- ed-up water lines. These leaks re- quired immediate repairs and the amount of money spent ran into so many millions of dollars that e total cannot even be conservatively estimated.
 Rust Loss
 America learned a costly lesson during the Jerry building years. The rust loss during those years was several times the loss caused by fire. That is the reason why home owners are today insisting on better building materials being used in the construction of homes they buy or build. Building and loan as- social tons, banks and insurance companies leaning money on build- ing also insist upon the use of materials that will give long sat- isfactory service without costly re- pairs. :.
 "Not only will there be an all time record broken for the use use of brass pipe and copper tubing for water lines, but there will be like increase in the use this year of cop per for fiashings. gutters and down. spouts.
 "When these durable metals are used, 1t is reasonable to suppose that other better building materials have also been specified"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-02

Around 1929, a group headed by Aleck Howitt, John H. Walker, Dun can Mcdonald. and Harry Fish wick, started the socalled White Guard.
 This later developed Into the Pro. gressive, Miners, once Q powerful segment of the coal diggers but now chiefly concentrated in certain 1lli- nois counties. The Progressives were busted from the U. M. w. on the same charges on which the o. l. 0. was cited in the recent suspension order-"fomenting insurrection."
 However, Lewis was able to sur mount these troubles. Boosted by the MIRA "check-off" system enforc- ing collection by operators of union dues from weekly pay envelopes, he rebuilt his union to the largest in the world. Today it claims 540,o0O members.
 He began to assert himself in the public eye until he became as famil" far a figure in the press as Green. And, heartened by his success, the industrial unionists gathered about him as the fifty-year- idea began to emerge after long silence.

But e wall-the wall of method has consistently intruded. It has made of the movement tri- headed thing today, dividing the nations 100000 unionized labor CTS into three camps.
 These are: the American Feder- ation of Labor, with a membership of some 2,250,O00; John L. Lewis's Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion, claiming 1,250,000 adherentS who are still formally af1liated with the Federation but who will be au- tomatically suspended on Septen- Der 5; and the four railway brother hoods with 00,000 supporters.
 3O,OOO,OOO Involved
 Outside remains the prize for which the first two groups must struggle-the S0,O00, 900 non-llnion workers. Lewis estimates that three fourths of these would naturally fall into the industrial union category.
 The reason for this division is baSically the craft-industrial union issue. Broadly speaking, the A. F.. of |. has pursued a middle course on this tight rope, causing the dis interest of the aristocratic railway workers and the recently crystalizeo enmity of the 12 unions now back ing Lewis. {. Although the Federation has been assailed as the enemy of the un- skilled worker, the railway brother hoods have never joined its fold be- cause they have felt that their best economic interests lie in individual isolation. At the other pole are the c. I. O.'s growing packers, most of whom perform such relatively un- skilled tasks as digging coal, assem- bling automobiles, or tending textile machinery.
 Two Union Types
 Briefly, the difference between the two types of union is this: a craft group contains all workers in the country who perform one kind Of task-such as engravers. An indus trial union asserts jurisdiction over all workers in one industry.
 The industrial dispute did not really come to a head until the early l9aOs when the boom era largely assuaged labor friction. The Fed eration claimed jurisdiction over both types of organization and ap- parent satisfaction was in evidence.
 When Samuel Gompers died in DfSlce, late in 1924, union labor turned to seek a successor. Comp CTS had for years groomed his friend Matthew Woll, e lithographer, for the task. Woll, 8 small, swart man who represented Q comparatively unimportant union in the labor

For the most part the trio slept out- doors. They left Waterbury early in July, going directly from here to Colorado. They followed a northerly route to the coast, returning through New Mexico and the south ern route.
