cott-Labor Tale Stranger
than Fiction.
BY ROBERT II. ROHDE

A human interest story just one
hundred and forty times as big as any
that the fertile Horatio Alger ever
built out Of homestead, a widow, a
mortgage. a squire and a missing son,
will be concluded at Danbury, Conn,
the week of July rs.
Beginning at II o'clock the morning
Of the 10th. one hundred and forty
houses and lots, bought with the saw
ings of one hundred and forty toilful
lifetimes, will be auctioned off to the
highest bidders at the rate Of one an
hour. With the last "Going, Gone,
Bang," the final chapter Of the first
book of the most famous capital-labor
lawsuit Of history the Danbury hat
ters' case viii be closed.
There is another book to come,
prodicated on a bit of plotting that
Mr.. Alger never got around to. In this
sequel will be written the struggles
and stratagems through which D. f.
Loewe & Co. succeed in getting capt
tai or dividends If they ever are lucky
enough to get either out Of the com
munity Of tiny properties which the
courts have awarded to them.
Whatever proceeds there are from
the sales. certainly, viii be turned over
10 the Loewe firm as that much toward
the S252,00O damages which the United
Hatters Of North America must pay.
But it isn't likely that bidding will be
furious.
Danbury is a one-industry town, and
proud Of il; a union town, and proud
of that. The unions enemy is Dan
bury's enemy. And while there isn't
Going 20 be any more boycotting, the
union remembering 100 well its $751;
600 lesson, it is none the less uniyer-
sally recognized that the best way TO
even scores is TO let the foreclosed
houses lie idle-to refuse to bid for
them at the sale, to refuse to consider
buying them afterwards, to refuse to
live in them and pay rent.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-10
Spectators May
Turn Elsewhere

Quite a number of spectators from
other cities are expected 10 be in Dan
hurry for the sale But it is hard to
believe they'll be there long before
they find out Danbury's determina-
tion. After which, perhaps. they'll de-
eide TO turn elsewhere for investments
So il will remain for the Loewes and
the American Anti-Boycott Associa-
ton. which backed them through the
fourteen long years Of litigation, either
10 bid in the properties or to let them
go Tor whatever the American Fedora
zion of Labor is willing TO pay.
The Federation's role in the pro-
cecdings is that Of the missing SON.
More than $4,000 has been raised by
subscription among the component
unions. and Federation agents will be
on hand with it during the sale.
Details of the scheme of compensa-
ton devised by thc labor leaders are
being withheld as information valuable
to the enemy. But it is assured that

ACOSTA TO
BECOME GRIFFMAN
FOR LAST CHANCE

PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-Merito
Acosta, the Cuban outfielder, is to be
given another trial by the washing
ton club. That's what Clark Griffith
says, and he ought to know.
Acosta has generally failed TO i'm
press his boss because OF his rath sr
slow movements and his failure to
hit For these reasons he has had
two trials with the Minneapolis club.
Last summer he was called to join the
Minneapolis when Henri Rondeau
sprained his ankle.
Hardly had Acosta reported to Joe
Cantillon than he, too, met with an
accident. breaking his leg sliding into
second base at Columbus. He played
no more that season.
This spring the Cuban revolution
kept him from reporting to the Griff-
mems training camp at Augusta, and
so, with no trial by Washington. he
was sent to Baltimore. Playing
right field. the Cuban has been doing
wonderful work and his timely hitting
has endeared him to the Oriole fans.
ManaEer Griffith says that he will
not purchase Turney Barber. be-
cause the latter is a southpaw bats
man and Griff is looking for q right
hand hitting outfielder.
"Thormahlen may win games in the
International League" added the Old
Fox. but that means nothing in this
league. ! don't think l need him"
