1 220 foot vessel and capable of Civ
ing good fight individually.
The battle between the Glouces-
ter and the torpedo boats at such
close range was as spectacular and
exciting as any incident of the day.
Within 20 minutes of the time the
torpedo boats emerged from Santa
go harbor their careers were ended
anw two-thirds of their crew killed.
The Furor was beached and sunk
in the surf. The Pluton sank in
deep water few moments later.
While the Gloucester was under a
hot fire by the Socapa battery,
Fighting Richard" remained on
the bridge.
Although the larger American
vessels were busily engaged at the
time, their commanding officers had
found time TO note the work of the
little Gloucester. The men of the
flagship New York which passed
the Gloucester while fastening to
join in the general action, crowded
the rails and cheereG the little fell
low.
The Indiana signaled "Congratu-
lations," and another signal from
the flagship Of the squadron stated

Wainwright is pet of the pres.
ident, and there seems but little
doubt that he will succeed Evans.
The latter is not slated for retire
ment until August IS. but he will
probably retire after the rounds of
festivities on the Pacific coast.

or the three extraordinary recent
decisions by the United States su.
preme court, that Of the Danbury
halter, or anti-boycott case, is by
far the most important. 1t strikes
at the vitals OF trade unionism!
1t declares the boycott is a con.
spiracy in restraint of trade with
in the meaning of the Sherman
antitrust act; makes the members
of union liable for three times
the financial damage wrought by
their boycott; and also makes such
persons punishable under the GRIM
on al provisions of the act.
In the hat manufacturing center
OF Danbury, Conn, is the firm Of D.
E. Loewe & Co., employing some
thing more than 200 men and re-
puted to do business Of 100000
annually, all but small part Of
which, it is declared, is done out
side of Connecticut.
AS long ago as 1901 Loewe had
difficulty with his workmen about
unioniZing and using the label.
Other Danbury hat manufacturers
unionized; Loewe refused.
The local hatters union took the
matter up and the fight waxed hot.
Neither side would give way, and
both called in other forces.
The workmen called in the ma.
tional union, the United Hatters of
North America. which in turn call
ed upon the American Federation,
with which it was affiliated. The
latter organization had more than
a million affiliated members.
The United Hatters and the Fed
GRAFTON went actively into the fight.
The weapon used was the boycott.
d. E. LOewe & Co. were published
in the unfair list" of several trade
union journals. and the Loewe hats
were tabooed in many cities.
Loewe, on the other hand, called
to his assistance the American
Anti-Boycott association, secret
and powerful organization OF large
and small manufacturers, Of which
d. E. LOewe & Co. was one.
The Anti-Boycott association
took up the cudgels for Loewe. 1t
decided to act through the courts,
and along two lines at once-in
state court. under the common law,
and in federal court, under the
Sherman antitrust act.
In September 1903, it sued out
writs in both courts for the trial of
$50 members of the hatters union
and claimed $4,000 damages suf-
fered by the boycott. The federal
suit made Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and other officers of the
American Federation of Labor par
ties to the action.
At the same time the Anti-Boy-
colt association through Loewe,
separately attached for each action
the individual real estate and per-

She had been suffering from heart

sonal property. including the saw.
ings bank accounts of the said $50
workmen, the aggregate sum of
such attachments being estimated
at $4,000.
The federal case was the one
pushed. But United States District
Justice Plat sustained the demur-
rer OF the union that the Sherman
antitrust act did not cover such an
action.
The Aanti-Boycott association
thought otherwise. 1t took the case
to the federal court Of appeals,
which, however. declined to decide
it, but passed 1t up to the supreme
court. The latter, deeming the case
of first Importance, advanced it out
of turn, and by writ of certiorari,
called for the entire record, so as
to consider the whole matter for
itself.
AS a consequence unanimous
court, comprising the nine justices,
reversed District Justice Plat; de-
clared that the action did come
within the meaning of the Sherman
act; and gave decision for Loewe
and against the hatters union and
the American Federation of Labor.
The opinion, read by Chief JUS
tice Fuller, avered that the said
union men and Federationists con-
spired together to lessen the sale
of Loewe's hats by use of the boy
colt; and that this was "a combina-
ton in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several states in
the sense in which those words are
used in the act
The court therefore declared that
an action for threefold damages,
provided for in the act, could be
brought by Loewe; and also that
prosecution be conducted under the
criminal sections of the act!
The far-reaching effects of this
totally unexpected and amazing de-
cision l shall leave for considera-
ton in a subsequent article.
