BEGIN SALE OF HOMES TO PAY THE
VERDICT IN DANBORY HATTER CASE
DANBURY, Conn., (By Mail from
Seattle).—The tragic climax of the
famous Danbury Hatters’ ease came
July 16, when the sheriff began to
auction off the homes of 140 old men
and old women. The proceeds of the
sales of these little homes will go to
pay the judgment awarded by the
courts after a tight of seventeen years
to the hat manufacturing company of
Loewe & Company, which claimed
damages of $80,000 against the union
of the hatters.
The hatters’ union called a strike
on Dietrich Loewe’s shop in 1000 and
started a boycott against the non
union hats manufactured in his works.
The members of this union believed
they had a right to boycott what they
regarded as unfair products.
Court proceedings were started by
Loewe for damages. The American
Federation of Labor took the side of
the hatters and the Anti-Boycott As
sociation sided with Loewe. The legal
battle was waged through the courts
with intense bitterness. And when
the law decided that the hatters had
violated the Sherman anti-trust law by
“restricting trade,” the hatters, many
of whom had grown old during the
struggle, found that their little union
and its far from wealthy members
would have to pay the big claim for
damages.
Their store of small savings is not
enough. Their little homes must go.
And today the sheriff is auctioning
them off to the highest bidders.
The words of Owen Murray, 83, ex
press something of the pathos of the
situation. j
The Danbury Hatters’.case is Amer
ica’s most famous capital vs. labor
controversy.
This has been the progress of the
case:
In 1885 all Danbury hat factories
made an agreement with the union.
Fight years later disagreement
arose anil 12 of the 18 shops repudiat
er their agreement.
By 1900 all but three had again been
unionized. The Loewe shop was one
of the three holding out.
The union called a strike against
Loewe and instituted boycott.
The American Federation of Labor
took up the cause and made it its
own.
Loewe claimed his business was
damaged $80,000 by this boycott.
Suit was instituted under the Sher
man anti-trust law, alleging the boy
cott was restraint of trade.
Loewe secured judgment, collectable
out of the savings and homes of the
hatters.
Out of the Danbury Hatters case
came the determination of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor to secure leg
islation making such cases impossible
in the future.
Labor men say the answer now is
written into the Clayton law in the
sentence that says:
“Labor is not a commodity or ar
ticle of commerce.”

COPPER RIVER
LINE PAYING
Most Expensive lane Ever Built Is
Paying Substantial Profit, Thanks
to War
*
BOSTON, July 13. — The high
prices for copper and record shipments
of ores and concentrates over its lines
have now transformed the Copper
River & Northwestern Railway, con
trolled by the Kennecott Copper Cor
poration, into a profit-producing enter
prise.
The construction of this road was
the first big step taken by the Alaska
Syndicate of the Morgan-Guggenheim
interests to open up the rich copper de
posits of Alaska in which they spent
over $20,000,000, with no sign” of im
mediate return.
This little road was one of the most
expensive ever built. The total capi
talization against its 196 miles is $27,
837,400, comprising $23,020,00 bonded
debt and $4,817,400, outstanding stock.
The book value of the property invest
ment, $27,847,049, includes the sums
expended for construction on the aban
doned Valdez and Katalla lines, inter
est on bonds, charges against con
struction, and contractors’ profits.
Eliminating these items, it appears
that the sum invested in the present
line from Cordova to Kennecott is ap
proximately $16,425,000.
The Copper Kiver & Northwestern
started to operate in 1911 and from
November of that year to the end of
May, 1916, it piled up a total deficit
of $2,941,962. But a turning point
came in 1915. In the period from July
1, 1915, to May 31, 1916, it showed a
surplus of $487,000 after interest
charges, compared with large deficits
in all of the previous years. In every
year but one it has shown a substan
tial margin above operating expenses,
but the interest charges have been so
heavy that the road was unable to pro
duce any surplus until 1916.
