result of a fight that ended so tri-
rmphantly for American toiling men
and women.
On this phase of the struggle, the exc
cutive council of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor says:
The Danbury hatters did not falter
in that which they did for the benefit
of all organized labor and for all the
workers of the country. They did their
duty they made the test and upon them
has fallen the consequences of the in
justice of the then existing conditions.
All other workers participate in the ben
eits which have grown out of their
struggle, and it is but just that they
should also help to relieve the victims
If the Danbury hatters or the hatters
organization were left to bear the full
weight OF the burden, it will mean to
them great suffering and great hardship
Every member of organized labor is
urged to do his duty in this matter and
to bear his share in the common strug-
gle to establish industrial justice"
Members of local unions should
pay their contributions to their To-
cal secretaries, who should forward
the sum collected to Secretary Nor
risOn of the A. II. of H., Washing
ton, who will receipt for same and
forward il to Secretary LawIOr of
the United Hattcrs of North Amer
lea.
This money shall be used for the ex-
elusive purpose of relieving the hat
tiers who were made the victims Of the
greed and rapacity of the so-callcd
"Anti-Boycott association and Loewe,
the Danbury hat manufacturer. Secre-
tary Lawlor will publish a complete list
OF all contributions received and the
payments made and to whom
The date agreed to by the convention
January 27- was selected as partcu-
larly appropriate because it is the birth
day Of the president of the American
Federation of Labor, who has given a
lifetime of devotion to the cause of Ia
Dor and humanity.
The executive councils circular closes
as follows;
Meetings for the purposes indicated
might be held with fitting exercises to
help bind the organized toilers of Amer
lea more closely together with bonds of
fraternity, sympathy and mutual helpful
ness and greater determination to
struggle unitedly on for the dawn Of a
better day among the toilers of Amer

ashington.-"Th Danbury hatters
have performed a service of historic i'm
portance i'll the struggle for industrial
freedom declares the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor executive council, in a
circular issued to all unions calling on
organized workers to contribute the
wages of an hours labor the second
hour OF the work day or shift of Jan
uary -, 1916, for the benefit OF despoil-
ed Danbury hatters.
The councils action is under author
ity OF the American Federation of La
Dor convention, held in San Francisco,
last month
The plight in which the hatters OF
Danbury, Conn, find themselves arouses
the concern and the sympathy OF all the
workers as well as of all the liberty-lov-
ing citizens Of America" says the execr-
tive council, which rccounts the injus-
tces trade unionists have suffered by
reason OF court interpretations of the
Sherman antitrust law that human be-
ings are in the same category with COM
mOdities, and are subject to Injunction
processes that denied them rights guar
anteed free men and women.
The hatters resistance against these
iniquities, together with court processes
financed by the American Federation Of
Labor, emphasized these wrongs and re-
suited in the passage by congress Of the
Clayton amendment to the Sherman an
ti-trust law in which it is declared that
The labor power OF a human being
is not a commodity or article Of COM
merce."
In addition to this clear declaration
that there is difference between labor
power and articles Of commerce - to
