been accomplished in the interest of

state that the cpnditious while crucial
are very encouraging for labor and are
pleased with the growth of organiza-
tions during the past year. Union in-
bor was never so strong iii Connecticut
as it has been shown to be during tho
past week. The keynote of the con
vention has been that there must be
more solidarity in the ranks of labor.
and a great deal of the important work
of the. convention was with that end in
View.
The delegates departed from this
city. stating that none of the preced-
ing conventionp have been as pleas tut
socially as has the. one just closed.

fer of Their Plea iii
Abatement '
A request, which is, it Is thought, en-
tirely unique in the history of I‘airlieid
county jurisprudence, was made yes-
terday. iii the civil superior court. in
illl' anti-boycott suit instituted by Ii.
E. Loewe it Company. of llitiibiiry,
.l,.'llliiSl Martin Lawlor and others. The
request was made to the clerk of the
superior court. for the placing of the
still upon the jury list. for the special
purpose of trying out before a jury,
I‘t‘l‘llllll flirts which are in issue at
present, presented by the plan In
.ibnteiiicnf, The trial of a plea In
abatement before a jury is decidedly
I'ill't'.
As the case now stands, the plead-
ings present certain facts which are
in issue, as well as the points of law.
both being raised by the plea In abate-
ment, it was for the purpose of oblit-
erating those lssuts of fact. by obtain-
ing an amendment to the con'iplnint iii
the plea in abatement. that a motion
by counsel for the plaintiff firm was
made, seeking llIl order of court direct-
ing that certain amendments be made
to the plea in abatement. The motion
for an amendment to the plea in abate-
ment was on the short calendar for ur-
gument anti find just been called by
Judge Thuyer, when the request for
the transfer of the case to the jury
docket was made. The request caused
a slight change in the line of argu-
iiient.
The request ls quite unusual in its
itlllll, as well as in its nature. After
the title hiid been given to the suit,
the formal request was made on the
usual printed form, btit following that
request was written: “And We Icoun-
sol for the defendants) especially re-
quest you to enter said cause upon the
jury docket for life trial of the issues
arising upon the plea in abatement. its
well as other issues of fact. This re»
quest is made upon behalf of the real-
dent. defendants for whom we have en-
tered a general appearance, anti with-
out prejudice to those nomresident de-
fendants for whom a special appean
:ince has been entered." The request
is signed by all of the counsel for
the defendants.
in making his argument for an
amendment to the plea in abatement
yesterday. Attorney Daniel Davenport,
Iounsel for the plaintiff Tll‘lll. called
the attention of the court to the un-
usual nature of the request for a trial
of the issues of fact arising under the
plea before a jury. He urged that re-
quest as a reason why his own nio-
tion for a more specific statement
should be granted, in order that certain
facts might be fully presented to the
court. If the pleadings were made
perfect in that way. Mr, Davenport
said, than he could demur to the plea.
and the matter could be tested out
fully by such a motion, which would
save considerable time.
He said that as long as facts which
are now lacking in the plea are not In-
corporated in It, be is not willing to
lemur to the plea. because by so doing
he would have to admit the certain
itatements made in the plea which he
is confident an incorporation of parti-
cular stated details would either ren-
der negative or fully explain. He said
in a suit of such importance he would
not feel justified in testing out the
sufficiency of the plea In abatement
unless the issues of fact were very
fully before the court.
The specific changes which Attorney
Davenport desired in the plea In abato
ment. are the incorporation in the doe-
ument of a copy of the writ which has
been returned to the United States
circuit court for the district of Con-
necticut. in order that the two com-
plaints may be fitlly compared and
and judge of the state court before
whom the plea in abatement is tried
may see clearly whether or not the
contention that the two suits are based
upon similar causes of action and are
for the lame relief, is really well
founded.
After Attorney Davenport had finish-
ed his argument, court took a recess
for lunch.
Attorney Beach, who is one of
the counsel for the defendants, argued
in the afternoon against the alleged
need of any change in the plea in
abatement.
If the request to try out the issues of
fact in the plea in abatement is legal.
then it will be granted The nature
of the request In so unusual, however
that a consultation of some authority
on the subject will have to be made
beforo the unit is transferred. If the
motion argued yesterday is compiled
with, and the amendments made to the
plea In abatement, it may not be noc-
canary to try the pleading, as it can
possibly be disposed of upon demurrer,

NO ACTION TO DIVIDE DIOCESE.
No action has been taken so far to-
wards a division of the Roman Catho-
lic diocese of Hartford, and it Is not
considered probable that any divsion
will be made. Arrangements have
been made. however, for taking part
of the diocese of Providence and of
Springfield, and making a separate di-
ocese of it. This has probably caused
the reports which have been sent out
from Rome about the division of the
Hartford diam. The opinion appears
toprevail at least among newspaper
correspondents in Rome that Hartford
and Providence continue to be in
one diocese. which has not been the
case for a good many years. The new
diocese which is being formed will in-
cluds largely the French-Canadian
population of Rhodc Iland, and the
Fall River section of asaachusotts.
