Not as Hard as
An Alger Squire

In the first place, even for his de-
termination 20 have what the law says
is his due, Dietrich LoeWe isn's near
ly so hard a man as the cruel squire
shuld be 10 live up 70 Alger specifca-
tions. II is known that he has more
than once lifted his lien n houses in
cases where the owner had an oppor-
tunity sell and was in dire need Of
ready money. And in other ways he
has aided those who before the law
are his enemies. But that is q habit,
perhaps. born of life in Danbury,
where the striker in need has only 20
call upon friend enemy-employer for
loan.
Moreover, whatever money is col
lected from the freclsure sales is not
likely to 90 into the pocket OF Die
trich Loewe. Since the strike and the
beginning Of the fourteen year war
in the courts he has suffered reyerses.
Several years ago the collapse Of
straw hat maker in Baltimore incolyed
him heavily and threw his own bus
mess into the hands of a creditors
committee. SO il is the creditors
who will benefit, If anybody.
II looks like loss all around
though, this celebrated case of the
Danbury hatters. The lawyers have
their 100000. the union men and
union widows lose their homes, and
the spoils Of sthe victor look already
like a herd ( spotless white elephants.

Loewe Refused
To Back Down

So it didn't need much Of an argu-
ment 20 convince Dietrich Loewe II
would be good business for him 70
unionize. Yet he wouldn't back down
on his terms.
"If don't keep these men working
and you won't have them,' he relter-
ated. "they won't have any jobs IN
their own trade and they're too old 20
learn a new one. Mo-
hTe next strike practically emptied
the work benches in the Loewe shop.
hTe old man he was gray then-ral-
lied the handful of the faithful and
worked at their sides.
"If | have 70 suffer business death
for this" he told the unions, with the
prospective boycott in mind, "I'll die
my own way"
At the same time he published a
warning 10 the union men, reminding
them that each could be held respon-
sible under the law for acts OF the
union. For so lawyers had told him.
With his crippled force Loewe con-
tinued 10 make and ship hats as best
he could. II he could have sold them
all might have been well, but the union
vIs not satisfied 20 tie up merely the
manufacturing end Of his business.
The men on the road for the United
Hatters opened a propaganda against
Loewe hats. Through a clerk who
stuck by Loewe, bit who consented 20
act as a spy for the union, shipnInts
were traced from factory to jobber and
from jobber TO retailer. Il was easy
enough, with the threat Of loss Of
union trade, 10 persuade both retailer
and jobber that Loewe-made hats were
not a profitable line.

Widow Turned

A while ago. after the final defeat
Of the labor forces. old Tim liealey
deputy United States Marshal, came
down 20 Danbury from Hartford on
an errand at once sorrowful and lu-
dicrous. He called at one hundred

rant widow. who thought he had

But no mre could be done until all
the defendants had ben approached
and had refused 20 settle. After
that came the order 20 auction of the
houses. Loewe & Company had al

about 100000 caught In the banks IN
cash.
Possibly it was because the houses
bade fair TO be of sfh dubious value

Danbury Strike
A Hardy Perennial

For all that they proudly keep their
union cards the employers squaDple
frequently with the unions. The Dan
hurry strike is a hardy perennial. But
such strikes few other industries know.
Rv mutual consent the yearly strike
comes in May. when the last possible
snring and early fall hat has been
made and shipped. Danbury makes no
straw hats. and there is slack month";
ANYHOW. before the fall and winter or
dcrs begin TO pour in.
So the employers and the delegates
Of the Hat Finishers' Association ana
the Hat Makers Association meet,
scowl az one another. and part. vowlng
that neither side will depart from its
stand. And then the violence starts
With a rush strikers and employers

But the rods are not 70 chastlse one

Conditions Good
In Loewe Shop

Dietrich Loewe made az good an
EMPLOYER as he had halter. he
looked tolerantly on union labor, as
toIerantlv on non-union. lie wanted
good work and paid well for It, no
matter who did it. Conditions IN the
Loewe shop were as good as the union
asked. the pay in many cases better.
Outside the shop. in Danbury al
large. Dietrich LOewe was highly re-
qarded. He was elected a member OF
the first Common Council. and. in rec
ignition Of his private charities, when
were many and unadvertised by hlm-
self. he was made chairman OF the
hoard of managers of Danbury Hospi-
tai.
In 1855. together with the other hat
manufacturers. LOewe went INTO an
agreement with the union. hight years
later, when the Makers and FlnIsnera
Association refused to modify certain
terms all the factories Of Dan0ury
were closed In 1894 TIVE I've out OF the
eighteen Of them resumed operation As
open shops. Loewe & Cos was one
of the twelve. But the union kept
hammering away, and by lsoo al oui
three shops had been unlonlzed' Anu
Loewe's was one Of the ihree.
You begin to picture now now Dlet-
rich Loewe was turning against the
class into which he was born. But
Wait minute, How was this savage
squire talking TO the poor working
man? 49,,
"T have men here who didn't want
20 ioin the union" Il so Dietrich Loewe,
as the records show. addressed the
union committee which called on him
IN l9OD. Now you say, because they
wouldn't join before that you won't
have them in. Very good. | won't dis
charge them. Unless you take into the
union all the good and faithful workers

continue as an open shop"
