FRIENDS MAY BE ASKED
 TO ASSIST MATTERS
To Pay Judgement of S300,00O to
 ). f. LOtW5 & Company.

New York, May 19.--Friends of the United Hatters of North America may be asked, through organized labor to come to the assistance of the 1S6 members of the body who are de- fendants in the suit of D. F. Loewe & company in whose favor judgem ent for S252.130 was rendered in Novem- Der. 1912.
 A statement to this effect was made today by John w. Sculley, president of the United Hatters, presiding over the sixth annual convention of the organization, now in session here. MT. Scully said that so far the conven- ton had not taken action on the matter, although he admitted that it mad been discussed in executive ses- sion. ! Admit No Legal Obligation.
 We do not admit or recognize any legal obligation of the United Hatters whotsoever,' said MT. SculIey. We nave not now, nor did we ever have luna Which would be applicable to the payment of such a Judgment.
 If certain of our members in Dan bury. Bethel or any other places are in distress, naturally we feel that we should assist them, regardless of how the distress was occasioned.
 Judgment S3OO,O0
 .'The Judgment against the 1s6 sur- v1ylng members of our organization growing out of what has been termed the Danbury case, now amounts to approximately $30o,000, including in- terest at per cent for over two years. Our present membership is about nine thousand and to raise that amount among ourselves would be difficult task. If We do come to the assistance of the distressed members it will be by individual effort, and it is possible we will ask our friends throughout the United States through organized labor, to help us. No &C., ton has yet been taken, however, along these lines.
 T desire also at this time to cor rect an impression that has apparent ly gained credence throughout the country, that the defendants in the suit voluntarily pledged their prop erty in payment of the judgment This is not the case. The property of 25O members of the organization was attached when the suit was fled"
