Sale to Satisfy Judgment
Against Union Workers
in Celebrated Suit May
Lead to New Kind of Boy
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.

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-
ton. 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
the o.d peope may ave out their liVes'
