Yesterday morning's hearing in the

fore Judge Ralph Wheeler in the Sn-
perior court, Dsnbury, came to a name-
what dramatic climax when Attornel’

plaintiff look violent objection to an
intimation from Attorney Howard W.
Taylor that the case had not been
brought in good faith and that he be

had something to do with it.
Mr. Merritt rose and belatedly said:
"I shall now make It statement before
this court.” I
"There is no need of a statement.”
‘said Judge Wheeler.
Mr. Merritt insisted that the oppose.
ing'counsei was trying to bring preju-I
dice into the cues.
Judge Wheelel asked Attorney To)“ l

was, and the attorney replied that it
was organised in New York state with
the purpose of aiding manufacturers
and there in suits brought us a rc-i

Mr. Taylor said that he hoped to
prove that the case had not been5
brought tn' good faith, anti lhht it was
being backed by enemies of labor and
that he wanted it to go’ to lilo jury,
that way. The Court notified him to
show authorities. but Mr. Merrill said: ‘
"i do not object to hint presenting

Attorney hierritt again cross-exam-

“Don‘t you know that all the manu~

the union label?” asked Attorney Men
ritt. Mr. Brow replied affirmatively.
Attorney Taylor then questioned the
witness in regard to the syndicate
which the manufacturers had joined
before the tie-up and also in regard to
a suit in the federal court in new

Taylor asked if he considered there
were any advantages in employing nil-3
ion men in local but factories and wit‘
nous replied there was an arbitration
feature and also a provision for prices
in the agreement with Elle union and
also that a union shop found it easy
to secure skilled help. as most of the
batters in this city were union tneu.
Attorney Taylor‘que'etioned Mr. Mc-
lachlnn in detail in regard ‘to the tie-
up in 1909 and the subsequent opening
of the factories. lie was also enum-
lned in regard to the wages and work-
ing conditions in local but factories.
Mr. McLaughlin said the blah wages
paid to employee in union shops was
due partly to the union. He said that
there were some non-union shops with
which they could not compete and
some with which they were able to
compete,
Cross-examined by Mr. Merritt, he
said that competition with non-union
shops was limited mostly to the high-
est and lowest priced hats. The an-
ion shops had very little competition
in the intermediate grades, hoe said.
lie said the use of the label gave a

Mr. Merritt asked: “Under the con-
ditions existing in 1909 you would find
here a nonunion shop such as wouidl
prove a profitable proposition?" Wit.
uess replied. "."Yes
Upon the resumption of trial at 2
o'clook yesterday afternoon,’ Emil
Neece said that it was the duty of a.
steward or the chairman of the com l
mllte to “call shop." He testified that;
he did not call shop" and that he did:
