Hartford. Conn. Aug 19-Beginnng to-
morrow, labor interests throughout the
country, and some capitalist interests,
too, for that matter will watch court
proceedings in this city for how many
weeks and months no one ventures to
predict
The famous nine-year-old hatters boy
colt case, which three years ago took
thirteen weeks TO try. begins before a
Vermont Judge, in the United States
Court. and labor and capital are more
curious TO know II labor union boycott
is a violation Of the antitrust clause OF
the civil damages side of the Sherman
law than if the jury will again return a
verdict OF $4,000 for d. K. Loewe &
Co, independent hat manufacturers, OF
Danbury Conn, against the Hatters Of
North America.
A panel Of one hundred venremen will
report to Judge James L. Martin. Of
BrattleborO. tomorrow forenoon. More
than fifty OF the original 240 defendants
Of Danbury and Bethel local unions nave
died since the suit was brought, August
81, 1893 for the nationwide boycott
against the Loewe firm. The plaintiffs
will be represented by Daniel Davenport
of Bridgeport. and Walter Gordon Mer-
rift. of New York City.
The United States Supreme Court on
March L. 1908, overruled the defendants
demurrer and ordered Judge James Platt
son OF the late United States Senator
Orville II Plat to try the case, and
late in 1909 Judge Plat accepted the
jury's award OF $1,000 damages and BY
the Sherman law trebled the damages
TO 1922 900. besides which there were heavy
costs. Early this year the United States
Supreme Court sent the case back for
trial before another Judge, because Judge
Plat had ordered the jury TO disregard
everything but the amount OF damages,
holding that some damages must be
awarded on the evidence.

Ely's complaint stated that at the time
the former Mayor died he had personal
property 10 the amount OF $3.50, 900 and
real estate valued at $4,000 above the

that lust before the former Mayor died,

COMMISSION RULE COSTLY
Trenton Not Satisfied with New Form
of Government.

Trenton, y. j., Aug. 1s-On Thursday
next there Will have been rounded out
one years trial OF the commission form
of government in this city. and judging
by the grumbling that has been heard
by the taxpayers during that period the
experiment has been anything but a sue
cess.
The principal objection TO the present
rulers of the city is that during the
year the tax rate has jumped 10 per
cent. and the prospects are for further
increase during the coming year. The
voters could recall the commission, but
thew are poweriess TO change the pres
ent form of government for four years
more. they having voted TO give il q
trial for hve years. They figure that II
thew recalled the members OF the COM
mission IL would do no particular good,
as they would have TO elect others, and
then there would be saddled upon them
the additional expense OF another cleo
ton.
Besides. there is no objection TO the
five members of the commission, but
those who are doing most OF the kicking
say the system is wrong.
