BOYCOTT FUN COMES HIGH
DAMAGES OF $4,000 AWARDED TO
DANBURY HATMAkER.
Veddict Is Dubbed "New Declaration
Of Independence" by Hart.
ford Attorney.

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 5.-"A new
declaration of independence" is what
Attorney Daniel Davenport calls the
verdict of 1922 900 rendered in the
United States court by the jury in The
suit of D. E. Loewe of Danbury
against 200 hatmakers of this state.
After having been out over two hours,
the jury ordered actual damages Of
$4,000 to the plaintiff, but as the suit
was brought under the Sherman anti
trust law, triple damages can be re-
covered.
There was a remarkable scene in
court when the verdict was an
nounced. The defendants in attend
ance were stunned for a time and
then in groups dejectedly discussed
the blow.
It is estimated that the costs in
the case will amount to at least $1O,-
900, and those, with the counsel fees,
may bring the bill against the United
Hatters of North America to fully
s250,000.
Speaking in regard to the signif-
canoe of the verdict in the case,
which is said to be the most import
ant of it's kind " tried in this coun-
try, Attorney Davenport, senior coun-
sci for the plaintiff, said:
First, it leans that individual
members of labor unions are bound
by the action of their officers.
Secondly, it means that the Sher-
man antitrust law protects manufac-
turers and merchants from boycott at
tacks.
The plaintiff, D. E. Loewe, was
surrounded by friends in the court
room and congratulated upon the out
come. He said that if he had not won
he would have had to go out of bust
ness.
Judge Platt in his charge, practical
ly instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict for the plaintiff. He said the
only question for them to decide was
n of damages and these were to be
based upon the losses sustained by
the plaintiff between July, 1902, and
September, 1893, the period during
which h boycott against the Loewe
factory was maintained.
A bill of exceptions will be filed by
the defense and the case will be car
ried to the federal court of appeals
and the United States supreme court.
The suit, which was for $24O,0 900
damages, has been on trial for II
weeks. 1t was instituted by the Anti
boycott society through Mr.. Loewe,
but it is understood the damages
awarded are to go to the Danbury
H~atmakers. The expense of defend
ing the suit falls upon the United Hat
tiers of North America who filed a
bond to protect the defendants.

POSTAL BANK
BILL UNSAFE
HEPBURN SAYS MEASURE HAS
BEEN TOO LOOSELY
DRAWN.
SAYIT assure TO BREED SCANDAL

Stands, 1t Would Foster Dis
honesty, He Declares.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator Rey-
burn completed his criticisms of the
postal savings bank bill in the senate,
but aside from his speech, but little
progress was made in the considera-
ton of the measure.
Mr.. Hepburn declared the bill had
been drawn SO loosely that if enacted
into law it must inevitably result in
scandal. He %instanced the corporation
proved unsatisfactory.
He said there was no provision for
securing deposits, that in providing for
secrecy regarding deposits it would
prove a shield to dishonesty and that
in the end it would be found to be i'm
postal savings funds.
He commended that it was the duty
of the committee on postofices to
bring in a safe and proper bill, and
said he would not support the measure
so long as it placed the government
in the banking business, as he con-
tended the present measure did. The
bill he declared to be a mere skeleton,
and he advised the committee to take
1t back and put some sinews and flesh
upon it.
Mr. Hepburn spoke at length regard
ing the possible business that might
grow out of the secret methods pro-
vided in connection with deposits.
Mr.. Carter protested against this
line of reasoning, saying that no legis-
lation proceeded upon the theory that
the average man was ga crook"
Mr.. Hepburn pronounced the bill to
be utterly vicious and predicted that
in the end it would be necessary to
pay the deposits by appropriation out
Of the national treasury.
During the discussion Mr.. Smith. of
Michigan, made the prediction that if
the bill became a law it would become
the football of politics and the rate of
interest would prove a fruitful base
for promises by the INSCRIPTIONS of.
tice-seeker.
Mr.. Carter made no formal reply to
the criticisms, merely asking to have
the bill printed in the Congressional
Record as the best possible refutation
OF the representations of it's opponents.
Mccumber Defends Farmer.
Declaring the farmer to be the last
person considered in any conflict, in
which the agriculturist is involved,
Senator McCumber, of North Dakota,
delivered a speech in the senate to
demonstrate the farmers were not re-
ceiving a fair share of the high prices
which food products commanded.
He said that bills such as had been
presented in the house for the removal
of duties on farm articles were equiv.
'alent to an effort to establish a legis.
lative boycott against the tiller of the
soil. This boycott was always to be
expected when food prices increased,
he said. But the discriminating would
not always continue, for the time was
rapidly approaching when the farme,
would receive proper compensation TO,
his labor.

!, Willcutts, on account of his close

will be asked Of the senator is that he

Queer Perversity of Taste.

In the museum at Stuttgart the new
section devoted to showing ~perversity
of taste has become one of the popu-
lar parts of the institution. Writing
about this unique educational feature,
a Brussels paper says: 1--WE can all
sympathiEe with the authorities for
exhibiting con%spicuously punches of
flowers made from human hair. What
could eve have induced people to de-
vote time to learning how to make
these Representatives,? The curator
should be complimented on holding up
to scorn the pin-cushions in the form
of kittens and babies. because no
child can see one of these constantly
in use without having its sense of pity
blunted. And the handkerchiefs with
Zeppelin's portrait on them-are they
intended as compliments or other
wise?"

What Women should Read.

We women would all be the better
for the reading of Bluebooks. How
eve loud the talk may be about eman-
cipation and equality, the fact is that
the training of girls remains mostly on
lines which make for narrowness of
outlook. 1t is nearly always confined
to a knowledge of the circle of society
in which their parents move. They
are carefully guarded from meeting
anyone with views" the novel is the
sole medium available for information
as to the lives OF the sets of people
both above them and below them. 1t
requires a strong individuality to tri-
umph over surroundings, and when |
hear complaints of the intellectual in
ertia of the average woman, and that
she cannot be got to read even the
'morning newspaper, instead of joining
in. | always wonder how she has
turned out as we'll informed as she is.

TONS OF WASTE PAPER DAILY
Stupendous Quantity That Is All the
Time Being Discarded as With
out Further Use.

Hearing of processes for the recla.
ton of waste timber brings to mind
the tremendous quantity eli paper daily
thrown aside as useless. An Gi7ee of
ordinary size produces at least a ton
of waste paper in a month, which is
disposed of at a price ranging from
50 to $40. The purchasers of this of
flee by-product feed it to machines
that bundle the paper by a sort of
hay-press process, and the magic of
machinery returns the soiled scraps
in pristine Wilderness. Waste paper
has become SO much a matter of
course that new offices are built with
a papershed, a contrivance for caring
directly for this waste. In some bust
nesses this product amounts to hun
dreds of tons in a year, and where the
amount is large, as in a city printing
office, 1t is gathered every day.
In addition to the paper of CONNER
cial and manufacturing concerns,
there is the constant waste going on
in every home, which would aggregate
thousands of dollars every year if ac-
counted for in the economies of the
country. Possibly, when the conser-
walton commission has disposed of its
big problems, it will find means to
eliminate this source of Waste.-Na.
