HIATT ERS' UNION No.
TRUST, Says GANSLER
Organizer for United Hatters Wis:
it's Duluth and Superior In
Interest Of Label.

Abe Gansler Of Newark, N. j., Or
ganizer for the United Hatters Of
North America, is in Duluth and Su-
perior visiting among the merchants
and trade unions, and urging the pur-
chase Of hats that bear the union
label.
. This 10 Mr.. Gansler's second visit
to Duluth, he having spent a month
In this, city in March a. year ago.
Since that time he has travelled con-
sfderably through the west and
south. He reports that labor con-
d1tions are good at every point. !.
The United Hatters' union Of which,
Mr.. Gansler is organizer, it will be
remembered, has been in the federal
courts for the past seven years at
tempting to defend itself against a
law suit started by a .non-union con.
Germ In Danbury, Conn.,, in which it
Is charged that the union is a trust
and is operating in violation OF the
Sherman Antitrust law. Referring
to the suit, Mr.. Gansler said to The
Labor World:
Private Firm Started Action.
The United Hatters of North
America, as an organization, object
to the statements So often made that
we. as an organization, have vio-
lated any laws. Our court troubles
are Of this nature. A certain non
union manufacturer in Danbury,
Conn.,. brought suit against our Or
ganlzation under the Sherman Anti
trust law. This suit was never be-
gun by the United States government
and should not be confused with suits
brought against the beef trust or the
cash register trust.
I'VE matters need the assistance
and cooperation of every trade
unionist and fair-minded man in
Duluth, in our battle to maintain
our organization. We are in hopes
that the supreme court will reverse
the decision of the lower courts In
the last judgment rendered against
our organization
Finds Conditions Good.

THERE is AS MUCH GRAFT IN THE PRIVATE
CORPORATION AS IN ANY CITY GOVERNMENT

run his motor for one year. The work
is not all done by the family, butithe
big salaries are all in the family.
The Persimmons own a good deal
Of the stock, but they do not own it
all. They don't even own half Of it,
but they have what is called voting
control. By means of this control
they keep themselves in places where
the salaries are good and growing
better. Sometimes they make new
places when it is necessary for the
proper support of the family. For in
stance, the offices of secretary and
treasurer were both held by Persim-
mon Quincy until young Howard
Lemon won his wife. Then it was
found necessary to divide the work,
and Lemon was made secretary.
Has there ever been an American
mayor who has dared to run his city
as this private corporation is run?
In their leisure moments the Per-
simmons; the Quincys and the Lem
ons are constantly advising their fell
low-cftizens Of the danger of per-
hitting an American city to advance
one step toward the sort of municipal
work which is done by great many
foreign cities with success. The rea-
son against this is given as the graft
in public life.
To say that there is more graft in
the average city government than
there is in the average private cor
poration is demonstrably untrue.

THERE is AS MUCH CT
CORPORATION AS IN A
BY ROGER w. BABSoN
Noted Economist, Business Statician
and Banker.
During the past ten years or so the
muckrakers have been busy. In city
after city and in town after town.
they have uncovered crookedness in
the administration. They have I'M
covered so much crookedness that
the rest of us have come to the con-
clusion that graft is something which
is confined to public places. But is
there no graft in private places? It
is worth considering.
Suppose the mayor of town
should appoint his brother police
commissioner; his daughters hus-
band, fire commissioner; his uncle,
superintendent of the water works; |
and put his son in charge of the !
street cleaning department. How
long would it be before the good citi- |
zens would hold an Indignation meet |
ing?
1t would not be long. No city in
America would stand that kind of |
graft.
Yet pick up the letter head of a
private corporations and what are
you likely to find?
1t usually reads something like
this:
Quincy Persimmon, president
Quincy Persimmon, Jr., Yice-presi-
dent.
Persimmon Quincy, treasurer.
Howard Lemon, secretary.
The presence of Howard Lemon in
this select family circle is somewhat
puzzling until one learns that Prun-
ella Quincy Persimmon is the| wife
of Howard Lemon. Then all is clear

International League Doings

Eschen, of Jersey City, continues to
shine as a pinch hitter. He delivered
single again yesterday.
Latest rumor from Buffalo has 1t
that Manager Clymer is ready to
trade anybody on his team but Trues-
dale. Such a declaration must please
some of the veterans like Murray
and Beck, who have played good
ball.
Jack Dalton can hold his own with
any lead-off man in the league when
it comes to reaching first base. He
was up five times yesterday and got
on every time. He had three singles
and a double to show for his day
at bat.
There is seldom a day or a game
when one of Newark's trio of out
felders does not get in a timely
throw or an assist Myers killed off
a run yesterday at the plate, and
Dalton also had an assist which cut
down a runner at third. Had either
man been safe a run which would
have resulted in defeat would have
been scored.

Gustave Touchard displayed so
much tennis skill in the Middle States
that he has emerged as champion in
two classes and he may be the cham
pion of third class. To begin with,
Touchard, first of all, won the mems
singles, and as Wallace Johnson, the
title-holder, is in Europe with the
Davis cup players, no challenge round
was contested. Touehard also won IN
the mems doubles ana he is down to
the final round in the mixed doubles.
Surely with such honors won and the
prospects exceedingly bright for the
others, it cannot be said that the
Middle States championships for 1913
were not won on their merits. Touch
ard played brilliant tennis through
out the competition and his defeat of
Dean Mathey in the final round was
a feat of no mean order.
The tourney this year was more
interesting than ever and the crowds
were larger by far 1t may be that

and abroad, have had a tendency to

MANY IN JERSEY CLASSIC

The one-mile relay race will be one
of the feature events of the annual
field day meet of the Belleville Cath
Ollie Club to be held at Hillside Park,
Belleville, July -. The event, open
to all clubs, is attracting considerable
attention, and already three of the
big clubs in Manhattan have signi-
fed their intentions of entering teams.
The Belleville Club will be well rep
resented in the race, as will several
other prominent organizations in this
State.
Many entries have already been re-
ceived for the three-quarter- mile Jer-
sey classic, and this event should
prove interesting. A gold watch will
go to the winner of the race, while
silver and bronze medals will be
awarded to the second and third men,
respectively.

of scoring eight points and leading all
