HATTERS DECLINE TO BREAK
AWAY FROM A. F. OF L

Danbury, July 27-Af1rming their
loyalty to their present organization
and to the American Federation OF
Labor and adherence to their present
position, the Hat Makers and Hat Fin
ishers unions, at a joint meeting last
night, declined to. consider sugges-
ton from the manufacturers for the
formation of strictly local union.
The union matters and the manufac-
t'1rers are at odds over wage scales
and the factories have been idle for
several weeks.
Several of the hat making con-
Germs, yesterday, presented to the en-
ployes a declaration of their position,
in which they expressed a willingness
to deal with "a strictly local union"

such an organization.

understood any such action would in
volve breaking away from the present
union and the American Federation OF

WHISKEY INsURRECTION.

1t was toward the end of July. 1871,
that the "whiskey question" was
prominently before the country and
in Western Pennsylvania grew into a
situation replete with danger for the
newly esta blished government of the
United States There occurred at
this time what is known as the Whis-
key Instruction, which was caused
by the government excise tax levied
on spirits distilled from grain, a
measure devised BY Alexander Ham
ilton, then Secretary of the Treasury,
to bring into the Golfers of the young
nation much needed revenue. This
law was enacted in 1891. 1t provid-
ed for a tax of nine to rs cents gal
lon, according to the strength Of the
liquor. The new tax bore heavily
on Western Pennsylvania, which was
then a farming community, the chief
product being grain. Owing to the
great cost of transportation the only
manner in which it was possible to
make profit on the grain was to dis
till it into whiskey. "A cask of whis-
key could easily be carried by horse
or wagon and the price received paid
the transportation and left a profit.
Thus popular indignation ran high
when it became known that the gov
eminent had levied a tax on the only
product that supported the Western
Pennsylvania farmers and dfstillers.
The first formal protest against the
law was made at a meeting held in
Brownsville, July 81, 1871. when it
was arranged that committees from
four Pennsylvania counties-A1-
legheny, Fayette, Washington and
Westm convene. Res
olutions. were passed condemning the
law and advising that any one &C
cepting office under it be treated with
contempt and be withheld aid and
comfort. At a later meeting in
Setember, Albert Gallatin presided.
That same month Robert Johnson,
while attempting to serve marshal S
writs, was set upon by insurrsctionists
and tarred and feathered. Feeling
ran high and outrages against inspec-
tors were frequent. Finally by proc
lamation dated September Is, 1892,
President Washington earnestly ex-
horted and admonished all persons to
refrain and .desist from all unlawful
combinations and proceedings having
as their object the obstruction of the
excise law. .Ba1t the resistance
continued until it eliminated in the
attack on General Neville's house al
Bower Hi1l. where Woodville now
stands. Five hundred insurgents I'M
| der John Holcroft took art in the dis
! turbance. Inside the house were
eleven soldiers from Fort Fayette
Major Kirkatrick and General Neville

ernx Pennsylvania.l The leader of the
| insurgents was killed and the house
and outbuildings burned.

GERMANS CLAIM
EDGE ON ALLIES
AIR WARRIORS
Admit British And French
Have Been Successful
In East

: The Hague, Netherlands, July 81
Interesting comparisons Of British,
French and German methods of air
fighting were made recently by Cen
era1 Won Hoeppner, Commander OF
the German. flying forces in an in
terview. with. the Berlin correspond
emit of the Holland News Bureau.
General Won Hoeppner admitted that
the air: forces of the Entente Allies
were superior on the western. front
and in the Balkans, but said that
on the eastern front the German air
men outnumbered their adversaries.
Mere superiority in numbers, how
ever, he professed to believe, meant
nothing when compared with the
quality of machines and of the men
flying them. He added:
'.The Frenchman is obviously not TO
be placed on a par with our airmen
from the point Of view of morale. but
it is just in flying the Briton proves
that he is of German race and there
fore has a love of fighting. In gen.
eral the iFrenchman only attacks when
he feels himself numerically superior.
He avoids fight under equal condi-
| lions. The .Briton seeks the COM
| bat The Frenchman only attacks
once; if the first attack be unsuc-
cessful, he Immediately retires. The
Englishman, on the other hand. fights
till he or his opponent goes under.
I'm their Spad aeroplanes of zoo
| horsepower, and the British .Sopwith
trfplanes, they possess splendid ma
chimes which mostly equal our best
machines.
more important, however, than the
superiority of the machines is that
of the crews. The enemy battle air
men are just as much up to their job
| as ours That is not SO, however,
with the accommodating airmen. In
| the case of the French, their. training
| which should be of purely military
character, is. mediocre; while with
| the British it is even inferior. Here
are to be found the deeper causes OF
the better performances of our Tiers.
s'To Britishers flying is a sport, the
climax whereof is a fight. They seek
the combat regardless of the question
whether the carrying out of the
charge entrusted to them renders
this necessary or not The German
is first Of all a soldier, who looks up
on every flight as military opera
ton, and that decides his line OF con-
duct Our proportionately smaller
losses, therefore, show that our COM
manders are too good soldiers to set
their airmen impossible tasks. More
| over, the airmen are not sent out
singly, for the fulfillment of military
tasks is more important than all spir-
| it of sport and all bravery. The CEN
| tury-old German military tradition
cannot be caught up by the three
years warfare of the British"
A final inquiry as to who the Ger
mans prefer to meet as enemies ell
| cited the response: THAT is a ques-
ton which may not be put. It is not
| the sporting achievement, but the full
| fillment of the charge in hand, that
| is the main thing. With us every SOL
! der wants to be a Boelcke-the death
of his comrades does not brighter
! him."
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-07-27

So far as the Allies were concerned
the best hope of peace, he said,- was
frank and open statement, both by way
Of avowal and ,disavowal OF the OBJ
jects for which they were fighting. The
matter is for the peoples, rather than
the governments. Once that is real
lied by the democracies of the world
we shall be within measurable sight
of an honorable and lasting peace.
Meanwhile we shall not be helping the
advent of peace if we give the inapFes-
sion that there is any faltering In our
determination or doubt in our ability
to carry on the burden. We look up
with clear conscience until our ends
are achieved"

Dead Ripe Fruits Is
Best To Make Jams

Fine color and flavor may be had
in jam if about half of the fruit Is
dead ripe, says today's bulletin. from
the National Emergency Food Garden
Commission, which is cooperating
with this newspaper in its nation
wide campaign for the prevention of
waste Of the food resources of the
country. However, it is essential
that at least half Of the fruit is slight
ly under-ripe in order to get a jelly
like consistency. -
Pick over fruit, wash carefully in
colander with cold water. and then
weigh so as to determine the amount
Of sugar necessary. Add three-quar-
ters of a pound of sugar to each
pound of fruit if a very sweet jam. is
desired and cook rapidly. Use less
sugar for a. moderately sweet jam.
Stir conetantly with a wooden paddle
or spoon, slowly and gently moving
the paddle across the middle, around
the sides, and along the bottom. Do
not beat.
The time required for cooking the
jam will depend upon the kind of
fruit In general it may be said that
the mixture should be heated to 220
degrees Fahrenheit, at which time a
row Of drops should form on the
preserving spoon when held length
wise.
Acknowledgement. care should be
used in the cooking of marmalades
because of the fact that no water is
added to the fruit. If large fruit is
used, it should be washed, pared, cor
ed and sliced. Berries should be
picked over, washed and crushed
through a sieve to remove seeds and
skins.
Weigh the fruit and add one-ha1f
as much sugar. Rinse the preserving
kettle so that fruit will not stick, put

then alternate layers of sugar and

Ramsay Macdonald, Socialist and Ia

The smallness of the numbers in
the House when division was taken Is
an indication of the little interest
shown by Parliament in any hope of a
useful peace movement at the pres
ent juncture, and the conviction was
voiced in an important statement by
Herbert H. Asquith, the former Pre-
n1ier. that nothing was to be hoped
from the present temper Of the Ger
man Reichstag and people.
Mr.. Macdonald, as shown by the
vote. found very few supporters. Geo.
James Wardle, in behalf of the Labor
party. declined to have anything to
do with this pacifist resolution.
The speech of Andrew Bonar Law,
the government leader in the House,
dealt largely with the Russian crisis.
He said that II the nations engaged
were staggering under the blow, but
that the resources of the Allies were
sufficient to make it absolutely certain
that unless their hearts failed them
they must secure the results for
which they entered the war.
