HOMES
Must Be Given
Up.
And Savings Surrendered
By Danbury Hatters.

Danbury Conn, March s. The
last scene in the tragedy soon will
be enacted. The i'll starred strik
ers and their defendants or families
In the famous "Danbury Hatteas'
Suike," are about to be turned
into the streets and their homes
taken to satisfy the edicts Of the
law.
1t has been about IA years since
the trouble began Il was the first
of the great labor troubles that
found its way to the Courts, with
damage suits against labor unions
as the club to knock out the boy
colt. Since 1902 the same scheme
has been applied ali over the coun-
try. Capital and labor both view
this final scene wi. h upmixed emo
ton. 1t is the triumph of capital
against the working mar, from the
lower Courts, along the sinuous
path that ends at the alter in the
Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t is tragedy frought
with terroism and realism to a de
gree unparalleled. Colorado Fuel
company's battle with employees
was bloodier, but not less heart
rendering at the end
After having carried their case
to the highest tribunal of law in
the United States, only to have
judgment rendered against then,
the 100 surviving defendants of the
Danbury Hatters' case have just
been notified that still another de-
cision has been made in favor of
the opposing side, d. Z. Loewe &
Co., and that not only the money
which they had on deposit N local
savings banks ard which was at
tsched when the judgment Of $252-
600 and costs was rendered against
them, but the inter est which has
accrued in the meantime must be
surrendered to help satisfy the
datY1ouac u,oydaJ
Homes To Be Attached.
The next move in the case, and
which, 1t Is expected, will be the
formal taking possession of the
dwellings which the defendants
owned and which were attached.
Just when this move will be talted
Is not known, but it is believed
that it will be made in the near
future.
When it does come there is likely

leave until they are forced to, as
they will have no other places tc
go, and the majority of them are

time of life when they can go out
iuto the world to earn living.

survivors are men of advanced
years. 1t is easy 10 see that when
the attachments were made IA
J ears ago virtually the only men
whose property could be taken were
those who were at that time Of
middle age. Now they are four
teen years older, and many of them
have reached the age where hey

the money held by the Hafters'
Union may be used t. purchase the

that the money may be used 10
build new homes.
Litigation Is Costly.
Altogether the litigation has
caused the United Hatters of North
America which organization as
sumed the case for the Individual
defendants, approximately 500 600
and ii is estimated that it has cost
the opposing side virtually the same
amount.
Danbury is prosperous at the
present time, even more so, it is be-
lieved than ii was at the time
when the trouble started. But for
months after the waIkout there was

fects of which the industry has not

Danbury is known as one Of the
most strongly unionized cities in
this country, there being scarcely a
trade but which is organized. This
Is due, it is admitted, in a great
measure to the hatters' case
Th Danbury hatters case, as ii
IS more generally known, began in
the fall of 1908 and was the ou'
growth Of a walkout on the part Of
the employees of the shop the sum
mer Of 1902 Efforts had been
made to unionize the shop of d. E..
Loewe & Co, but with no success.
The company had customers in all
parts of the United States, and the
claim was made that in order to
unionize the shop agents of the
United Hatters Of North America,
and other bodies of organized labor
with which the United Hatters
were affiliated, started a boycott on
the product of the Loewe factory
The fact that the company had
dealings in several states created
for them an interstate commerce,
and any attempt to destroy that
commerce throug boycott was a
violotion of the Sherman antitrust
law.
D. E. Loewe & Co., brought suit
against 240 members of the Hat.
ters' Union IN Danbury, Bethel and
Norwalk. The damages were
placed al $4,000, but under the
provisions of the law the actua
damages could be trebled. The
first trial resulted in a jury bringing
in a verdict for S74,0 900, and the
presiding Judge trebled that sum
The defendants took the case tt

Appeals. That body upset the yer

Money In Coconuts.

The discovery has been made at Co
]ornbo that coconut water, better
known, perhaps, as coconut milk"
which has always been considered q
useless waste product, is an excellent
rubber coagulant. Millions Of gallons
of coconut water allowed to run to
waste on estates can now be made use
Of at good profit.
Tke coconut water Is allowed to fer
ment for four or five days, after which
1t can be used without further delay
as coagulating latex. This is said to
produce q fine rubber, superior to that
procured with the use Of crude acetic
acid. The color Of the rubber with
acetic acid fermentation is decidedly ins
ferior to the coconut water fermenta-
ton. Coconut water is now made up
in bulk and shipped in large quantities
from cocount plantations to rubber es-
tates.

When You Thread a Needle.

You may deny that your eyesight IS
failing or not so good as it should be,
but when 1t comes to needle-threading
you are given away. Don't try to fool
yourself and waste precious minutes
thrusting a refractory thread into g
needle-eye which you do not see. Do
it this way:
Thrust the needle through a piece OF
cardboard or stiff paper just as fal
as the eye. The paper holds the needle
securely and throws the eye into re-
lief.
Another method that will help one
out of the difficulty is this Some day
when the light Is good, thread whole
package of needles upon a spool of
thread. Then instead Of poking over
one needle at a time, while you are
sewing, all you have to do is to break
off needle and thread until the whole
pack has been used.
There Is q cOntrivance now on the
market consisting Of a small magnify
ing glass, which fastens on the spool
and magnif1es the needle-eye.
