would be glad to sell them for a price
which would compensate for any sacri-
fee of pride attendant upon loss of
territory.
In view of the events of the last two
and a half years, it does not seem
good policy for the United States to
disregard fair opportunities for ac-
quiring islands that may be used as
naval or coaling stations. There is
hardly room for doubt that some of the
South Atlantic and South Pacific ISL
ands have been used by belligerent
power for supply and repairing pur-
poses during the present war. 1t is
not inconceivable that a group of ISL
ands like the Galapagos might easily
be SO used in present circumstances.
These, in particular, are too close to
the Panama canal to be left open and
inviting to the first conner. One con-
sideration in the purchase of this
rchipelago has thus far been studious-
ly avoided. Unless all accounts are
untrustworthy, the acquisition of the
islands would open to the tourists of
the North, wearied TO the excitement
of modern fashionable resorts, an op-
portunity Of indulgence in one of the
most restful and peaceful outdoor
sports Of which there is any present
knowledge, that of watching contests
of speed among the turtles along the
island beaches.

THE FAMOUS HATTERS CASE

that adhere to the possession of prop
erty.
As to the fruits of the award to the
Loewe company and to the Anti-Boy-
colt Association of Manufacturers we
incline to the opinion that they will
be bitter and not worth the expense of
the harvest.
1t is well to know that Danbury is a
union town, and it is stated that there
is sentiment among its people that
the best way to even scores is to let
the foreclosed houses lie idle-to re-
fuse to bid for them at the sale, to
refuse to consider buying them after
wards and to refuse to live in them
and pay rent.
AS stated in an article in the New
York Tribune on June 10, it is evident
that whatever money is collected from
the foreclosure sales is not likely to
go into the pockets of Dietrich Loewe.
Since the strike and the beginning of
the fourteen-year war in the courts he
has suffered reverses. Several years
ago the collapse of a straw hat maker
in Baltimore involved him heavily and
threw his business into the hands of
a creditors committee. So if anybody
benefits it will be his creditors"
1t is with no pleasure that we re-
ioice over the misfortunes of Mr..
Loewe, altho he failed to comprehend
the principles of right for which the
union hatters were contending. He
fought the only adequate method of
self-protection which the workingmen
have-that of organization. He did
not consider their welfare in his bust
ness. In conjunction with the Manu-
facturers' Association he sought to
chain labor to the conditions imposed
by the master. Let US hope that in the
ending of this last act in the hatters'
drama he has learned something that
will change his future course in deal
ing with the labor and life of his
working people.-The Garment Work

THE HIGHER UNIONISM
Only by Striving for High Ideals Can
the Workers Hope to Secure
Complete Emancipation.

Cooperation is the basis of all
labor unions. In the beginning, labor
organizations limited their co-opera-
tion to the interests of their members
exclusively. The power of co-opera-
tion was new thing to them and they
did not know how to use il wisely.
They used the power almost exclu-
sively as a strong weapon, with little
regard for the rights of others. In
other words, like organized capital in
the beginning, they become selfish ex-
tremists.
That organized labor has revised
its system, broadened its views and
extended its cooperation was made
apparent at the meeting of the State
Federation of Labor in this city last
week.
In the early days of organized la
Dor there were many radicals and ul-
tra-Socialists in the ranks. These
have been weeded out, and in their
place we find cool-headed business
men of broad vision, who see more in
cooperation than n mere weapon to
dominate capital.
They see that labor is of little
strength without capital and that the
two must travel hand in hand; they
can not antagonize each other and be
successful.
They see that the best way to ele-
vate labor and to crush every insid-
ious form of the old feudal system and
every undemocratic tendency to serf-
dom is to bring weapons of mortal and
intellectual strength to bear against
these wrongs.
They see that the greatest and most
effective cooperation is not that which
is limited to n certain trade or class.
but rather that which is broad and

This was shown by the stand of
organized labor on the liquor question,
as voiced at the convention, when a
resolution was adopted indorsing the
measure now being considered in con-
gress, prohibiting the use of grain or
other foodstuff for the manufacture of
alcohol during the war.

officials of the Federation, who made
strong pleas for better educational

the fact that education is the best
weapon and the best friend they or
any other set of citizens can have, for
by its light the pathway of democracy
is made clear and the pitfalls of autoc-

avoided.
And perhaps the most far-sighted,

unionism toward lofty ideals better
than this. In the early days of the
unions, before they were federated, it
was not uncommon for them to pass
resolutions condemning the activities
of women in competition with men.
Today all men recognize the fact that
women are working-must work-and
have rights as human beings. Being
workers, they deserve the rights and
privileges of other workers, and the
unions have shown a commendable
broadness in indorsing the efforts of
women to have the same voice in the
conduct of affairs that their brothers
have.
The ideal job is the one that pays
the maximum wage for the minimum
of labor. By the adoption of meas
ures of sobriety, education and toler-
ance, and the altruistic desire to safe
guard the public health, the unions
have made far greater strides toward
the attainment of the ideal than they
could ever make by the exercise of
mere belligerent force. - Admission
