Putnam patriot., 1924-07-04

What is regarded as the American flag with the most distinguished re- cord and the oldest flag in Putnam, Is the one in the possession of Dr. and Mrs. H. B. Wright of Grove street. The flag was the property of Rear Admiral John Woodward Philip of Spanish-A merican war fame, who was an uncle of Mrs. Wright
 The flag, made from wool, measures eighteen feet by three feet and Is entirely made by hand. It has thirty two six-ineh white stars on the regu- iation blue field. The fact that there are thirty-two stars indicates that il was made between the years 1850. when California entered the union as the thirty-seeond state and 1858 when the thirty-third state was ad- mitted. It would therefore appear that the flag is in the neighborhood of TO years old.
 Born in New York
 John Woodward Philip. uncle of Mrs. Wright, was born in New York City on Aug. 26, 1Ss0 and early in life went to sea. the same as did his forefathers, who had been sea- faring men.
 While still a young man he came into command of sailing vessel and it was then that he raised to the mast head. the flag now in the possession of Mrs. Wright.
 Captain Philip entered the navy in 1861 and served with distinction dur ing the Civil War. He was wound ed in the action on Stone River, but was not incapacitated or in any way seriously affected
 After the Civil War he continued in the navy in various capacities until placed in command of the battleship Texas. Oct. 1s, 1897.
 Tn the war with Spain he distin- guished himself by his conduct in the action at Santiago. His ship. the Texas, with the Oregon, forced the AImirante 0quendo of the Spanish feet to run ashore It was on that occasion that Capt. Philip uttered the memorable words: Don't cheer, boys. The poor devils are dying
 Captain Philip was promoted to be a commodore in 1898 and was made a rear admiral in 1899.
 U. s. s. Texas Fleet Flagship
 His ship, the U. s. S. Texas was the flagship of the American fleet at Santiago and all during this campaign, his personal flag flew at the masthead, the one now in the possession of Mrs. Wright.
 There are numerous small holes and several sizeable rents in the flag, which were caused by bullets and bits of iron blown from guns, fired by the Spanish ship Almirante 0quendo, during that memorable engagement at Santiago.
 At the time of his death in 1900, Admiral Philip was commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The flag that had stood out in the breezes from his ships, including the Flagship Texas, was draped about his coffin and just before interment took place, was presented to his sister, Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Philip Hardy, mother of Mrs. Wright. Upon the death of Mrs. Hardy, the flag came into the hands of Mrs. Wright, who treasures the flag for it's historic value and loves it because it is the flag of her country.

KLAN KLATTERS
into INDIANA'S
DEMOCRAT meet
Nightshirt Issue Hides
Nomination Race.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 81
Democratic leaders gathering here to-
day for the state convention Thursday
were cropping about for compromise
plank on the issue Of the Ku Klux
Klan.
The Klan question oyershadowed all
other problems of party policy and
lessened interest in the race of eight
candidates for the nomination for gov
ernor.
From the anti-Klan wing Of the
party came an insistent demand for
the inclusion Of a plank in the plat
form denouncing the Klan in vigorous
terms.
In the Democratic state convention,
however, will be a bloc OF from 300 to
$50 Klan delegates and party leaders
are unwilling to take any step that
will arouse the hostility of the voting
power they represent.
The best way out OF the dilemma,
leaders agree, will be a plank advocat-
ing religious liberty without specific
reference to the Klan.

WINS
DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST union
Decision Establishes Bad
Precedent.

SEATTLE, June 3.-verdict for
$500 dmages rendered by a jury in a
civil suit against the Typographical
Union 202 (Seattle) exposes Ameri-
can unions to overwhelming judicial
attack by the employers, unless the
precedent is overruled.
Altho the Pacific Typesetting Com
pany, which sued for $4,000 was
awarded only $500. the verdict re-
mains as establishing the principle
that an employer can sue and win
damages from a union that calls a
strike IL it results in financial loss to
him.
The printers strike for the 44-hour
week. called May /. 1921, had cost the
plaintiff $4,000. The direct cause of
the walkout in his union shop was the
accepting of work from non-union
shops that had been previously struck
by the union.
Establishing the principle that en-
ployes are responsible financially as
the result of strikes will be one of the
greatest blows ever aimed at organized
labor anywhere in America" declared
Attorney Home T. Bone, counsel for
the union. "If this verdict stands, not
only will the typographical union be
the loser but every union in the state
will be endangered"
Union treasures can be emptied by
such suits on the part OF employers.
union officials point out, and the way
opened to an unending series of Dan
bury hatters cases in which bank
ruptcy would follow.
A new trial will be asked or an 1p.
peal taken by the executive boar II

Manley as follows:
Montana stands for June II and
our delegation will be at St. Paul
ready to do business regardless Of
LaFollette. Since LaFoIIette will
not accept our nomination, we must
nominate another man and proceed
with the formation of the mass,

On Successful Speaking Tour.
Taylor is now on a speaking tour
of his home state, his wire having
been sent from Forsyth, Mont. The
tour is under the direction of the
Montana Farmer-Labor party, and is
most successful
Taylor attended two of the Farmer
Labor conferences at st. Paul, the
first one that decided the call for the
national Farmer-Labor convention
and set the date for May 80, and the
second conference that decided to
postpone the date to June II.
Taylor was born and raised in Min
nesota, his father having been a Min
nesota farmer. Taylor's declaration
is significant in that it comes from
Montana, the state that elected SEN
ator Burton X. Wheeler, the investi-
gator of Daugherty, as Democrat.
Slap at LaFolIette's Associate.
Wheeler is associated with the La
Toilette group in Washington. The
action of Montana's workers and
farmers in throwing their support to
the June II St. Paul convention is an
Indication that they are ready to
break with all old partyites, no mat
ter how progressive" they may claim
to be.

old parties were severely con-
demned for their oppression OF the
workers and for their use OF the
government as a strike-breaklng
agency.
The use Of the courts for injunc-
tlons and government troops against
striking railroad and mine workers
was especially condemned. Public
