Members Of Labor Union Liable.

A decision sustaining the right Of the
F. r. Patch Manufacturing company TO
collect a judgment of $2500 against the
individual members of the Protective
lodge of Machinists' union of Rutland was
handed down at Montpelier, Tuesday by
the state supreme court. This action
arose out OF suit brought by the Patch
company against the Machinsts' union,
as an organization, seeking to recover
$4,000 for damages sustained in a strike.
On the lower court sustaining the Patch
company, an appeal was taken to the
supreme court. This body upheld the
judgment of the lower court; but the
Patch company was unable to collect
from the union on account Of the latter $
lack of funds. The manufacturers then
invoked a state statute, which declares
that judgment can be collected from the
individual members of any association
when such association is composed OF five
or more persons.

Hon. kIttredoe Hasklns for Congress.

waterbury Record
The Record believes that three cleo
lions from the second district are not
sufficient and that Congressman Has
kins's record in the national body well
warrants a reelection. The high stand
ing of Nermonts congressional delega-
ton was never better than II is today.
Keep this record good The best way
to do IL and the only way Is to reelect
each member OF the delegation just as
long as the record and the willingness of
the individual members will permit. To
put a new and inexperienced man in
Congressman Haskins's position would
injure the standing Of the delegation
and we believe this is what the voters
of the second district do not care to do.
The latter statement Is especially true In
this vicinity.
Mr.. Haskins is no experiment He
has served his district for two terms and
has in every way been faithful to his
trust. His record at Washington is good
He is recognized by Speaker Cannon and
his name appears on many of the most
important committees His work on the
| committee of agriculture has been very
gratifying 10 his home friends and he has
worked hard to bring about legislation
which would be of help in one OF Yer
mont's chief means of support, the farm
| His successful efforts on the oleomargar-
inc bill were both recognized not only ir
the committee, but on the floor of the
| House.
We like the way in which Congressman
! Haslins has handled his office. He has
not worked it for political gain, but ha!
done his plain duty regardless Of results
| He is not what can be termed ''politica
wire puller,'' but quite the reverse. HI
| has made friends by his conservative
method and it is this class of loyal an'
staunch friends, who are Congressman
Haskins's most ardent supporters.
We have only kind words to say of tn
candidates who seek Congressman Has
kins's position. Both Gov. c. ]. Bell ant
Hon. j. w. Gordon are men of abilit,
and have a perfect right for political as
pirations.

Jury Awarded Samuel D. ("Spot-

He Brought Suit Against Perolval W..
Clement for s5o,ooo-History Of the
Famous Case.


Famous Case.
The jury in the United States circuit
court in Burlington, which had been hear
ing the libel suit for $4,000 brought by
Samuel d. Wilson ("Spotter'D against
Percival W. Clement, returned a verdict
Saturday in favor of Wilson and awarded
him $1,000 damages The case grew out
of the statements allegeu to have been
made on the stump four years ago wnen
Mr. Clement was a candidate for the
governorship. Wilson, who was under
legal age, was hired as a-spotter of liquor
dealers under the prohibitory law, and
in row at White River Junction he shot
and killed Il. II. Goshea. He was tried on
the charge of manslaughter and acquit-
ted. Wilson brought suit against Mr.
Clement, charging that the latter had
publicly called him murderer.
This case was first tried in Rutland
county court and a verdict was rem
dered for the defendant. A new trial
was ordered by Judge Hoyt II. Wheeler
on the ground that two jurors were dis
qualified. The case was taken before
the United States court of appeals in
New York city on a writ Of error late
in the year 1904. on the ground that Judge
Wheeler's decision was contrary to law,
where it was argued for Mr.. Clement by
Michael II. Cardozo. but the writ of
error was dismissed. Since then the case
has been postponed for various reasons
until the recent term of United States
court when 1t was taken up May l.
Judge Wheeler in his charge told the
jurors that they should take all the tes-
timony together and determine II he did
say the words alleged and whether he
meant that the transaction was a murder
and the man who did the shooting
was a murderer. II he did then the plant
III would be entitled to a verdict. II he
did not the verdict should be for the
