ASKS AN HOURS
WAGES FOR THE
DANBURY HATTERS

New York, jan, San official ap-
peal was sent out yesterday to labor
organizations all over the country by
the American Federation of Labor
for contribution of one hours pay
on the day of Jan. 27 for the relief
of the haters of Danbury, Conn Many
Of the hatters of Danbury, Conn Many
their houses. and funds through a
court Judgment of 1852, 600 in the
Leowe boycotting case.
President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in his ap-
peal to the unions and workers, says:
'fWi11 you give an hour of your la
Dor in a righteous cause on Hatters'
Day, Jan, 81, 1916.
/. 1.-THE plight in which the hatters of
Danbury. Conn, find themselves.
arouses the concern and cympat11y of
all liberty-1oving citizens of Aneri-
ca The Danbury haters have per-
formed a service of historic inpor-.
lance in the struggle for industrial
freedom
Efforts of employers in America
to keep their workers in subsection
have been particularly Iheartless and
unre1enting- They have used all their
power and influence, seconmic, poll
teal and particularly in the courts.
The legal theory that has enabled the
employers to restrict the Industrial
freedom of their employees was bas-
ed upon a concept that labor power
was a commodity and that employers
possessed certain vested rights and a
kind of ownership of their labor. This
princi pie was the basis for fragrant
abuse of the Injunction writ and for
ion of the antitrust law,
I'm the case of the hatters' union
the suit was brought against mem
bers who had reached old age, those
between sixty and eighty years. They
were selected simply because they
had some little savings, an ownership
in modest homes. 1t is a, matter of
common Information that thief ramers
of the Sherman Antitrust Act did
not intend that law to apply to the
normal activities of the wage work
ers- The decision was a great injus-
tice to the hatters, who were 1nno-
gent victims of the government
THE Danbury hatters did not fa1ter
in that which they did for the benefit
of all organized labor. They did their
duty and made the test, and upon
them has fallen the burden. of injus-
tee If they are to bear the full
burden, it viii mean great suffering
and privation to them. Every mem
Der of organized labor is urged to do
his duty in the matter and bear his
shake in the common struggle to es-
tabIish Industrial Justice
THE Executive Council has sent out
the appeal for the contributions to-
the fund, designating the second hourJ
of the workday or shift of Jan. 27.
Frank Morrison, Secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, at the
Ouray Building, Washington, D. c.
1T is estimated that more than g.
600, 900 workers will contribute to the
hatters' fund.

To say that yesterday was cold, and
to-day colder, gives no adequate idea
OF the intense severity of the weather
The degrees narkd by the thermom-
eter fail to furnish a Tea1fzing sense
of the terrible extreme of cold now
prevailing The only way in which
one can test it, Is to remain out OF
doors for half hour or so, and then
the los OF degrees below zero mean
more than mare figures. Pipes are
frozen UP all over the city, and It be-
hoves our people to be careful of fire
and maintain a Jealous watch to pre-
vent the possibility Of Hconhagration
which it would be most difficult to
stay

church in this city. at Trinity parish
hail yesterday afternoon and laid be-
fore them a plan to raise money to
support the Episcopal academy at
Cheshire, which is now somewhat fl
financially embarrassed. He suggested
that a guarantee fund of SIS, 900 for

Hams already has raised $4,000 of
the required amount from New Ha-
ven, Waterbury, Hartford, and Merf-
den and desires that the churches in

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS AT ARIZONA TODAY

In this play I'm supposed to be a very nervous man and an inex- perienced man. So just to be consist ent and different I'm going to skip a few of the details"
 "All right. Douggv,' answered his director "Go as far as you like. But if it doesn't look right when you get through you'll have to do it my way
 So "Douggy" went ahead and did it his way. He maintained, for instance, that man who was absolutely unfa miliar with the society of ladies, and A man unaccustomed to wearing a dress suit. both of which conditions described the character of the man he was playing, would not observe the niceties of etiquette with the precision

The Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence have been the honey moon Mecca of more lovers than per haps any spot in America since a tickle public forgot Mammoth Cave.

Plaza

Of the general program that is
 scheduled for the Plaza theater today,
 the outstanding feature is the four
 reel Edison picture, The Mystery of
 Room l3," with Marc McDermott in the leading role and Lillian Herbert as the
 young wife. It is the story of the dis entangling of a mysterious crime, from the manuscript of Lee Arthur, and in addition to being a very clever story, it is splendidly pictured by a we'll chosen cast under the direction of the veteran George Ridgwell. The story centers around Q young heiress who marries a foreign count" who can boast of his titlesbut not of his morals, condition that often besets foreign counts" The count Is mysteriously murdered, and events are so arranged that the wife is accused of the crime. The audience, of course, knows that she is innocent, but that does not abate | the interest as the threads of the story are woven around her. Three other ! narsOns are brought under suspicion

Acting on the same basis, Fairbanks forgets to kiss his bride at the wedding scene. He declared he should be too Mustered to think of such details.
 The director said nothing after Fair banks had concluded the scene. But it is significant that he let the Fair banks version remain.
