suits over the vulcanizing patent, with a total cost to the parties inc volved of over $600,000. The ma. jority of these suits were carried on between Charles Goodyear and Horace Day, an old enemy of Good years.
 Horace Day had been manufac- turing goods, using Goodyear's pat ents for years and 1t was finally de- cided to take definite action against him. Once before he had been brought to court by Goodyear, but he refused, after some delay, to stand trial. He agreed at the time to pay Goodyear $5,000 damages and also to pay three cents a yard tariff on all future goods manufactured by him. After Q short time he stopped paying this tariff, complain ing that Goodyear was Q fraud.
 It was at that time that the Shoe Associates, group of rub- Der companies all operating under Goodyear patents, decided that 1t would be necessary to have a court decision on the validity of Good- years patents in order to continue to operate successfully. Goodyear had offered $30,000 at one time to Day for his patent to rid him self of this troublemaker, but Day refused believing he could gain the complete rights to the manufacture of vulcanized rubber products. In fact. Day had requested Congress
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-12

to declare Goodyear's patent void.
 It has been stated that Horace Day, although he knew in the be- ginning that he had no claim on the patent right, finally convinced himself that he and not Goodyear was the actual inventor of the process. He did a fine job of con- vincing others as future events will show.
 The trial between Goodyear and Day, which took place at Trenton, N. J., March g, 1852, was outstand- ing in that Daniel Webster, then Secretary of State and a presiden- tial nominee, handled the case for the Goodyear forces. Day, on the other hand, was represented by Rufus Choate, "The wizard of the law" With these two great minds handling the cases, the trial prom ised to bring out some great oratory as well as affect the future history of the rubber industry.
 The case was also notable because Webster was paid the stupendous fee of $15,000, @ sum unheard of up to that time. Webster was prom ised an additional $1,00O by George GriSwald, a New York Rubber man. ufacturer, but 1t is doubtful if 1t was ever paid. There are some who claim that Webster received $25, 1000 for his services, but the fol- lowing seems to refute that: This fee must have, for 1t will pay fifteen thousand dollars of my debts, and that is what am striving to do. It is what, if my life is spared, mean to do. If I can pay my debts, I should die in peace, @ happy man." This statement was made by Webster when he finally made up his mind to take the case. Ale though many sources state that he received $25,000, Wehster's own words seem to discount these stories.

NAUCATUCK STILL
 SPORTS ORIGINAL
 INDIAN MOMCKER

Tn loa4 c section Of Waterbury
 ncwn as Salem separated itself
 om Waterbury and was incoaporat- led as the borough of Naugatuck. i1he town was named after the river which ran through the eastern sec- aon o6 the village and which sslp- piled the power for many of the small shops along It's shores. Nauga- tuck, it is claimed, is the only town an Connecticut retaining it's original Indian name up to the present day. The meaning of the name, ''Nau- kAtuck" the original form of the word, is said to mean "one large tree" named after large tree form mrly standing near Rock Rimnnon ct Seymour. The same derivation is gtven in e letter from Stiles French whose authority was an Indian girl, the Daughter of Chuce, Q prominent Indian chief of that section. He states, "the girl says that the name HNaugatuck" meant one large tree and was pronounced by the Indians, sNaw-ka-tuck.' This one big tree stood about where the copper works 1n Seymour now are, and offered the Indians shade when they came to the Rifnmon Falls to fish. There are some who claim the name meant "good fishing".
 At the time of it's separation from Waterbury, the population of Naug- atuck was about 2,0O0. Today the town has grown to Q size of cver i7,O00.
 There were two main reasons for Naugatuck's becoming an industrial town. First, the bad farming land in this section did not afford the earlier settler sufficient income to survive, and the water power devel- oped from the one large river and four or five smaller ones made 1t quite easy for the local people to turn to manufacturing. Some of the original dams built many years be- fore Naugatuck became Q town are stil. standing. There is evidence re- maining of the flourishing shops which were operating along the small brooks such as Hop Brook. Beacon Hill Brook, City Brook, and Long Meadow Brook. The NauGa- tuck river was a clean, swiftly flow ing stream which afforded very good fishing for the local people at that time, but now 1t is difficult to believe that fishing and swimming once took place in the river.
 The manufacturing here brought many people from Europe to this town, the majority being from Tree land, having been driven from their homeland by the great famine.
 It was on the corner of Maple and Water streets that Charles Goodyear, the renowned inventor of q process of vulcanizing rubber, car- ried on his experiments. From this modest beginning sprung the nue. leus for the largest rubber nanu- featuring company in the world and the oldest manufacturer of vulcan ized rubber goods in America, the United States Rubber Company The name,. "Naugatuck" has been syncnymous with the rubber indus try since it's inception, and the growth of both went hand-in- hand.
 Commencing with the Civil War, when the rubber shops here made raincoats, boots, and rubber shoes for tl1e Union Army, this town has

Five years after Charles Goodyear obtained his patent for vulcanizing rubber, the rubber industry had gown to such proportions 1t became involved in the greatest law suit of the nineteenth century. Some of the finest legal minds of the day took part, and the entire rubber industry was affected by the out- come.
 Patent infringers had become SO fragrant in their violations that 1t was decided to take action against them and thereby prevent similar vioations from occurring during the years to come. It has been estimated that there were over 150 been supplying the armies and nav les of the United States during per- iods of warfare, and today we are proud to be responsible for many mans life being saved through the use of our products in this war.
 The majority of manufacturers tocay are concerned with products which are used to destroy life, but here, in Naugatuck, our prod .cts are all for the purpose of saving lives. Such products as self-sealing fuel cells, Morner life saving suits, jungle boots, submarine boots, etc., are Q few of the war goods nlanu- factured here in Naugatuck, all of which protect the lives of our sol.

UNION CAN ASK DEFERMENT FOR IMPORTANT MEN

As the drafting of Electric Boat workers continues to increase at a rapid pace, questions have come up as to status of key men in the un- ion. Although 1t is known that de- fense plants are permitted to seek occupational deferments for im- portant men, it is not generally re- alized that the holding of an inn portant office in the union is also grounds for deferment.
 Information received by the To- cal union indicates that local boards may give occupational de- ferment consideration to regis trants "who are key men in the maintenance of such harmonious relations and who are employed for that activity by the government, by industrial organizations, pr by To- cal. national or international labor organizations.

Pay Envelopes Hit
 On the Chin Aqain

The pay envelope continues to take it on the chin. According to the Department of Labor, Ameri- can workers were forced to absorb another wage cut from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15.
 Their pay isn't less, but the amount it will buy is. During the period covered by the departments report, the "officiaP index of the cost of living rose one-half of 1 per cent. This type of hidden wage cut has happened every month since last January.
 Cost of living reports are based on ceilings established by OPA, which few dealers respect. If they were based upon prices consumers actually pay, as we'll as on the ex- tortion of black marketeers, the full rise in living costs would not be 21 per cent but nearer 35 per cent, according to reliable econo- mists.
 The Labor Department itself admits that many hidden price increases are occurring, few of which show up in the index of liv- ing costs.
 Substitution of inferior mer- chandise repres rents the best known of hidden price increases.

Inventory Shows Bio Increase in
 SMEU EnroIImenf

In the preparation of the peti- tion for a National Labor Rela- tions Board election last week, the Groton Shipbuilders union ex- .ecutive committee took inventory of it's enrolment status. Figures obtained from Financial Secre- tary and Treasurer Harold Tay- Tor indicated that the Indepen- dent union has enrolled more than substantial majority of the Electric Boat Go. workers who would be eligible to participate in a National Labor Relations board election to determine the bargain ing representative.
 The books and records of the union also prove that dues are being paid currently by definite majority of the eligible workers.
 In comparing the membership records of the union at the pres ent time with it's status in 1941 when the last election was held it it found that the union is now in a much stronger position. Yet in the 1941 election the independent union defeated the CIO by more than four to one. Since then the CIO has received several other staggering defeats at the hands of the Independent Shipyard unions along the east coast who are affiliated with the East Coast. Alliance of Independent Shipyard Workers of America.
 However, according to present indications when the election is held at this yard at this time the CIO may be in for one of it's worst defeats in history.

nat upon the dCClVlLleS OL yOuI AA dependent union for improvement and adjustment of wages and working conditions here.
 Your fellow workers who are the officers and executive committee of the independent union know that a majority of you would not enroll in our organization and pay LIS dues unless your confidence in us still existed. We want you to know that we are doing everything possible to settle this question of representation immediately, to en- able us to resume our activities on your behalf.
 It is too bad that an irresponsi- ble group, so weak that five people showed up for a gigantic open organization meeting, can throw monkey wrench into union ma chinery working for your benefit and perhaps delaying justly merit ed increases for many of you, by group reclassifications.
 You are faced with a possible de- kdY Ol UlOuLAlS IAAA OuSh NSAe%J AAAO tactics of our rivals, although in- dividual grievances will be handled as usual.
 There is one way to settle this matter very quickly and with H. nality because under the Wagner Act a union who has very sub stantial majority paying dues can be certified without the necessity and delay of an election. A major ity of you are already paying dues currently. Your officers believe that If more of you will sign deduction cards right away, then you can make it certain that the dispute will be settled quickly without an election.
 I call on every representative or the independent union to do his duty at once by signing up and getting in the enrolment and de- duction cards in his department. l also ask every independent union member to chip in and follow up his fellow workers to get their en- rollments in right away. If we all do a little the job will be done quickly and well. But it we wait for the next fellow to do it We are unjustly placing a big burden on a few.
