karat size. The ring set in a large
gold band was nearly four feet un-

BY PETER POWER.

I have it from a labor man who
supported Taft In the recent cam
paign and was roundly denounced
as traitor by some of the promi-
nent officials who were behind
Bryan, that the incoming admins
tration will endeavor to amend the
Sherman ANTITRUST law, to give
trade unions the same rights en-
joyed by other voluntary organiza-
lions, and also to require. when
injunctions are sought in labor dis
putes, that defendants be given
due notice and an opportunity to
oppose the issuance or restraining
orders. Mr.. Taft and his advisers
will proceed in this matter without
consulting any of the labor Off
Gals who supported Bryan. In
fact, they are to be deliberately
snubbed, on the ground that the
recent campaign has proven that
they could not deliver the labor
vote to the democratic party, as
they had guaranteed to do, and
that, therefore. they do not really
represent organized labor. 1t is
probable that the administration
bills will be opposed by those Off
Gals who fought Taft upon the
pretense that they will not be suf-
ficiently far reaching.
The celebrated hatters' case, in
which the United Hatters of North
America were held to be liable for
damages by the United States SUI
preme court for boycotting the
product of nonunion concern in
Connecticut, and which case has
been remanded back. to the United
States district court in the forego-
ing case to fix the amount OF dam
ages to be collected, will probably
not be finally decided until next
spring. Martin Lawlor. secretary
of the United Hatters and chief
defendant in the suit, informs me
that the costs that must be borne
by the. union will be between
s15O,0O0 and 100000. Under the
Sherman antitrust. law, which act
was invoked against the hatters,
the defendants are liable for three
fold damages. The plaintiff in the
case-the Loewe Co. of Danbury,
Conn.-declared that its loss sus-
tanned by reason of the boycott
amounted to $4,000, so that it is
not improbable that the United
Hatters will be compelled to pay
out in the neighborhood of 100000
for boycotting what they alleged to
be an unfair product. The homes
and bank accounts of many of the
unions members, having an aggre-
gate value of 100000, have been
attahced and will probably be con
