Pierce Built to Last.

In series four Pierce-Arrow cars, as
now displayed at the Automobile Show,
the artistic outlines and rich beauty Of
the bodies are matched by the mechan-
ical authority Of the chassis. This IS
s. car built TO last. The six cylinder
type of engine is adhered TO because
of its consistency of service as proved
bv big mileage rendered TO many users
in the experience Of years.
There are three sizes, according 20
horse power. the "66", the rs and the
"3S."
Differences from last year are neg
ligible. Cylinders are cast IN pairs
with mechanically operated interchang-
able inlet and exhaust valves located on
opposite sides of the cylinders. The
greater eXpense Of the design is war
ranted by the fact that il gives q snort

openings without abnormal lifts which
mean heavy springs and more destruc-
tive wear There is also a more cen

There is no "splashing" Of OIL Lub-
rication is by pressure feed to all crank

Of the cylinder walls. Other bearings
within the engine get their fabrication

systems with separate spark plugs. ca

tinuous running Of the engine when

100000 HOURS
TO REPAY HATTERS
Unions Throughout Nation VIII
Contribute Toward S252,-
. 900 Judgment.

Danbury's self-sacrihc.ng hatmakers
are about to experience the novel thrill
that comes 70 the laborer who sudden
~ finds himself playing employer to
more than 100000 workers through
out the country This thrill and
something like $4,000 in cash are the
unexpected rewards they earned when
they offered themselves Up TO the cause
of labor in q struggle with their en-
u.oy ers a year ago.
The ioys OF DOsshOod are expected
70 bring particular satisfaction to the
Danbury unionists, in view OF the TACT
that the courts SO recently held that
their labor was n commodity and that
il was one phase Of the vested rights
enloyed by the factory owners by whom
they are employed.
Arrangements under which this novel
situation will be brought about were
completed By President Samuel Com
pers Of the American Federation OF
Labor Yesterday. Letters were sent
out 70 every union in America calling
upon its members TO set aside January
p as Hatters' Day. On the second
hour Of this day, Mr.. Gompers re-
quests, every unionist will work for the
Danbury hatters. The money earned
during that hour will be sent TO the
secretaries Of the locals and from there
on 20 the secretary OF the DanDury
union.
Should 100000 workers contribute
% cents 20 the cause through this NJ
ranCemcnt the matters will receive
$4,000. or almost three times the
a.
them through their legal battle against
their employers.
When il originally was suggested
that the Sherman antitrust law might
be used against unions, as a means OF
restraining trade. the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor looked about for some
means of max ng a test in court. Since
the organization could not start the
proceedings. but found il necessary %
wait until the prosecution was started
by employers, D. was necessary 90
delay action until the desired com
paint was made.
il so happened that the Danbury hat
makers, many of whom were men whose
ages ranged from sixty 20 eighty years,
became the first object Of such pro-
ceedings. AS result a $4,000 de
cision for damages was rendered
against them.
Mr.. Gompers in his letter TO organ
lied labor declares that the hatters
should not lose anything because Of
this situation.
III the Danbury hatters or the Hat
tiers Union are left TO bear the full
weight Of the burden. il will bring 20
them great suffering" he says. Every
member OF organized labor Is urged TO
do his duty in the matter and to bear
his share in the common struggle 10

shaken. believe she was acting
under direction Of her father, my d.
vorced husband who had come on from
Chicago. and was living in Brooklyn
Mrs. Msbie yesterday asked Justice
Newburger 10 set aside the commit
ment under which she was sent TO
Knickerbocker Hall about two years
ago. There was no opposition in court
20 the application, but Justice New
burger refused 70 grant it on the
ground that he was without power 70
do so, Mrs. Mabie having already been
released from the institution.
According to Mrs. Mabie's story
her husband remarked and she had
difficulty in collecting alimony from
him. She came here and lived with
her daughter and son-in-law. At that
,ime she had considerable cash. rail-
road securities and jewelry.

bile. She was hurried to knickerbocker
Hall. When she arrived there, said
Mrs Mabie, she had S4OO, which, &C
