HATTESS CASE
 OVER TO JAN. 4

Interesting revelations were made in connection with the trial Of the $240.0O0 damage suit brought by D. E. Loewe of Danbury against members of the Hatmakers union in this state at Hartford. Mir. Loewe the plaintiff yesterday afternoon admitted under pressure that the expenses of the pres ent suit are being defrayed by Ihe American Anti-boycott association. When questions bearing on this phase of the case were asked the corps of lawyers became entangled in argu- ments and objections. Judge Platt quickly clarified the situation by an- to stop making inferences and come that will show who the real plaintiffs and defendants are. MT. Loewe then said that the Antiboycott association was behind him also he said that his chief counsel. Daniel Davenport, was a member of the association and one of its organizers.
 The defense completed it's cross ex- animation in the afternoon and court adjourned until January 4. Attorney Beach for the defense was asked re- garding the number of witnesses his side would be likely to call and he said that possibly more than POO de- fendants may be examined unles: some way can be found to bunch the testimony. When the suit was brought in 1903 there were 240 defendants, but 25 of them have died since.

MILK CRUSADE
 TO COVER STATE
HEALTH OFFICIALS PLAN FOR SYSTEMATIC INSPECTION or EVERY TOWN REGARDLESS OF SIZE

At a conference of health oficia' s of the state at Hartford Tuesday. plans were made for the starting of the most important and far-reaching pure milk crusades the state has had The idea of the conference is to develop a plan for systematic inspection for every town in the state regardless of size, whereas in the past only the large cities have been included.
 The alarming rate of infant mortal ity report by Dr. Townsend of the state health board in which he urged action was one of the things which resulted in the conference.
 Each town health officer will act In the capacity of a milk inspector as far as practical, taking samples from the milkmen in his town and sending them to the state laboratory at Mid dietown for analysis by Prof. Conn. This will be done frequently and in ths+ way 1t Is the belief of health ex- perts that the milk surp'y VII be raised to a much higher standard of purity. and infant mortality greatly reduced.

he chose he could be ole of the most

In two minutes there was in progress

Only from Terre Hs ute on has his
control of the walkouts been complete.
And it is significant that only from
Terre Haute on have the men won sub
stantially. He observed mistakes in
others, and took part in them in the
earlier struggles. But there developed
in his own mind before he reached
