thought a deadly blow aimed at its
very foundation-the union label.
Encouraged by the court decisions
unfavorable to labor's interests it was
alleged that the cation of the hat man
ufacturers' association in declaring
they would no longer recognize the
United Hatters union or it's label was
but the opening wedge of a combined
attack upon other national organiza-
tions throughout the country.
1t is alleged that the court decisions
in the Hatters case played an import
ant part in the decisions handed down
against three prominent labor leaders
in Washington. So bitter was the feel
ing aroused universally among the
ranks of the workers, that when the
manufacturing hatters declared against
further recognition of the United Hat
tiers union. resulting in the walkout of
the union matters, offers of financial
aid poured into the Hatters head
quarters from ell parts of the United
States. The American Federation
of Labor, numbering millions of mem
bers, contributed to the defense fund
and every national and international
body affiliated with it, did likewise.
