Let Uni0nists Contribute One

Hatiers.
January ~ Will Recall Historic Fight
made BY fiatters OF Danbury.

washington, DeC. Oh ne
Danbury hatters have performed q
service of historic Importance in the
struggle for industrial freedom. =
declares the American Federation
of Labor executive council, in q
circular issued to all unions calling
on organized w, rkers TO contribute
the wages of an hours labor, the
second hour of the work day or
shift of January q, 1916, for the
benefit of despoilcd Danbury hat
ters.
The councils S action is under au-
thority of the American Federation
of Labor convention, h-ld in San
Francisco, last month
The plight in which the hatters
of Danhury, Conn. frd themselves
arouses the concern and the sym
pathy of all the workers as we'll as
of all the liberty loving citizens of
America says the executive coun-
Gil. which recounts the injusiices
trade unionists have suffered by
reason of court interpretations of
the Sherman anti-tr ust law that
human beings are in The same cat
egory with commodities, and are
subject to injunction processes that
denied them rights guaranteed free
men and women.
The hatters' resistance against
these iniqaities, together with court
4 processes financed by the American
Federation OF Labor, emphasized
these wrongs and resulted in the
passage by Congress of the Clayton
amendment TO tine Sherman anti
trust law in which it is declared
that THE labor power of a human
being Is not a commocity or article
Of commerce
In addition to this clear dec'ara
ton that there is difference he
tween labor power aid articl of
commerce to which trust laws
properly apply the Clayton amend
ment limits and regulates the use
of the injunction writ, and forbids
its use for purposes against which
the workers had so long and Justly
complained
This establishment of fuudamen-
tai rights, this acknowledgment by
congress that workers own their
la lor power without interference
or direction oy lawmakero or judge
is an epoch in American industrial
history.
The men around whom This suc
cessful battle rev0lved. hover. are
now destitute. Their bank deDos
its and homes have been attached
to insure payment Of an apDroxi
mate $500 600 court award that
was made BET re the CLAYTON act
was passed. Many of the despoil.
ed hatters have reached an age that
they are no longer able t. work.
and with their homes aud savings
swept from them they are in a des
titute condition as a result Of a
fight that ended 50 triumpnantlv
for American toiliug men and
women.

the front door was clamoring its iron

and closed it after her.
AS the doctor with the two frishten-

dead man in the library. and before the
old nurse had noticed the absence Of
the child, IIagar had come around the
mansion to the front. Loosenins the
strap that held the horse, she entered
the doctors carriage, still holding the

stayed not to rejoice at the death Of
his enemy. He refused even to tell his
wife what strange business called him
hence, witA Il pistol in the holster at
his saddle side.
In narrow def1le in the Blue Ridge
Judge Stanley tracked down his prey.
Hagar had abandoned the doctors ex-

and, bearing the child on her strong
shoulder, was climbing the rocky trail

Eighteen years have passed since
Judge Stanley's shattered body was
found in the mountains, the seal of
death upon his lips
Behold Arthur Stanley I'd, master OF

Behold DR.. Henry Lee, pressed with

did so, DR.. Lee signed the paper as

The colonel signed as father of car

Judge Stanley to sign as next Of kin
For minute he faltered, q look of bit
ter hatred on his saturnine counte-
nance, am then he affixed his sigma
ture and threw down the pen with q
bitter curse for what he did. A mock
ing smile played upon the face of Colo
mel Stanley. For one brief moment he
forgot the flower face of the beloved
dead woman upstairs. For one brief
moment he forgot the girl child born
Of their deep love, whose birthright
had been taken away in the fulf1lment
of his hate for his disappointed and
chaGrincd kinsman.
4 few brief and stilted farewells and
perfuHctGly congratulations ensued be
tween the still embarrassed English
lawyer, Narmaduke Smythe, and the
colonel and the doctor. There was
soma evil brooding in the air, and the
aura CT hate was felt by the English
man CT law.
Y'1t IS only a veneer Of ciyiliZa ton
That thinly covers these crude Yankees
III these wild parts,' said the English
lawyer to himself as he awkwartuy
mounted his horse in the MOONLIGHT
outside Stanley hall and rode down the
dnrkened lanes behind the gloomy
judge. '"Tiley jolly we'll would toma-
hawk ana burn each other at the stake
If they had opportunity" he added to
himself. Il shah start back to London

The fear Of the colonel that the wild
gypsy blood III the plltative heir might
bring him to courses that would dis
grace the Stanley name preyed upon
the colonel.
And so the colonel drew I'D a docu-
Ment, which he securely sealed and
placed among his papers. Upon the
outside he sUHerccribed it, "To be
