they were prepared to start a foreclo-
aare salt, we directed them to defer
action until they had notified your
counsel of their intentions, and until

, we could address you personally and

,ahlicly as to our position. Our desire
is. and has been by delay, to give
the United Hatters of North America
ample opportunity to avoid proceed-

trgs against individual homes if it so.

dates; but unless that organiza;ion

. at its approaching convention in May an

at this year, makes provision to fulfill
its written covenant to hold you harm-
less by payment of judgement, we
must reluctantly allow our attorneys
to proceed. If the Union will yet advise
II that it intends to observe its agree-
ment with you, we will gladly cooper-
fits in any reasonable way to avoid dis»
tubing your real estate.

At the outset, the United Hatters in
debt substituted itself as the real de-
fendant, by written agreement between
it and the record defendants whereby
it assumed entire responsibility for
the conduct of the suit and the pay-
ment of any judgement. Although this
agreement has been observed and act-
ed upon for over ten years and up to
the time of aflirmance of the judge-
ment by the United States Supreme
Court in January last, and although
the individual defendants in reliance
“thereon have acted only as naminal
parties whose interests were insured
by the United Hatters, nevertheless
no preparations- have been made by
that Union forzihe protection of the
defendants endure have not even been
requested to‘defer proceedigs against
their homes in order that the organiza-
tion might have opportunity to fulfill
its pledge. The performance of this
agreement, ‘which would divide the
burden equitably among all the Union
members. would be more to our liking,
as avoiding hardship, but unless.
through your counsel, you can com-
pel the union to adopt such procedure,

'we must rely upon the property at-,

inched which, upon apraisai, we find
to be ample to meet the entire claim
with interest. A review of the history
of these matters will disclose the pa-
flence and forbearance with which we
hays acted. -
Judgment was recovered November
15th, 1912, for $252,130.09, and al-
though withln ten days thereafter we
were free to proceed against the at.
inched real estate and bank accounts
on account of your failure to file a
bond, “'0 nevertheless refrained over
two years from taking any but neces-
sary and formal steps to that end. It
“led more generous to defer col-
lection until a final decision of the
United States Supreme Court, but af-
ter=thai decision was rendered. we nat-
urally expected that the United Hat-
ters would approach us with some plan
or request for the protection of the
, defendants to whom it is morally and
legally l». und. The professed spirit of

, _. A-unlonism-aa well~as the lwritten’oledg—
see of protection and support and the'

early purchase by the Union of your at
inched bank accounts. would seem to
justify such expectation. ' '
To our amazement, although your

. homes are open to seizure by legal pro
cess and fill-ea months have elapsed
since the “W930 'e of judgment by
the United States promo Court; the
United Hatters'has taken no steps to
avert suchhqr “lip. On the contrary,
rs would seem to be

by attempting to withdraw from appli-
cation io the Judgement some-$30,000

succeeds, it will increase your obliga-

olicers could easily raise the neces-

of alliiated unions in the same way
that they raised over $230,000 to de-

_ tend the dyaamlters in 1912. Many of.

such unions have already indicated
their sense of the Federation's obliga-
tion by offering to contribute for this
purpose, but the Federation resolutely
withholds all encouragement andvco.
operation, Mr. Gompers writes
that this case "holds members of a
union responsible for the deeds and
decisions of their union and its cine

 

ers." But now that their homes are
'eudangered on account of “the deeds
d’decisions of their union and its
officers," he will not raise his hand to
.save them, though an assessment of fit-
gteens cents would pay the debt. in the
jwords of Mr. Gompers: “The 186 mem-
5bers of the Danbury Union are those
’who suffer for the movement." Why,
lthen, does he not see them indemni-
fied? You surely must admit the in-
; justice of Mr. Gompers‘ position. when
he says the Federation would not help
you if it could. it may seem strange
that we should be advising you of your
rights in this way, but many of you
have heretofore come to use for ad-
vice and aid, concerning the difficult-
ies in which our Union has involved
you, and we want you to realize that
it is you alone who can demand sup-
port trom the nion and you alone who
can enforce your legal claim against
the United Hatters for indemnity,
Have you even secured an opinion
from your counsel as to your rights
thereunder?

Realizing how easily the llatters’
[Union could fulfill its contract to you,
how light the burden would be upon
lthe Federation to meet this judgement
‘and realizing too. our obligations to
our creditors. which necessitates ac-
ition because we are in the hands of a
creditors' committee, ‘we herewith
iserve notice that unless arrangements
are made at the Hatters‘ Convention in
,May of this year for a reasonably
‘prompt adjustment of this matter, we
‘must reluctantly proceed. Whatever
.hardsbip may thus come to you, the
lworld should and will charge to the
‘l‘altllfulessness of the organizations
'which, in violation of solemn pledges,
l‘will not extricate their members from
line difficulties Into which they plunged
them.

In August, 1902, over a year before
Ithis suit was commenced, we served
Lnotice by mail and through a week of
'adveritislng' in the local press, that the

lUnion members would be held liable

Iunless the unlawful operations ceased.
l'l‘hat warning was served in good faith
and with the generous conviction that
the rank and file of the Hatters' Un~
ion when so advised would stay the
unlawful attacks of their organization;
but it was unavaiiiug. Let us hope that
the notice now served, which is of
equal importance, will receive more
consideration, and that our patience
and forbearance will receive some ap-
,preciatlon.

LEY WILL NOT BE REAP-
POINTED TO OFFICE.

A committee from Danbury has in:
terviewed Governor Holcomb at Hart—
ford in regard to the chances of re-
appointment for Patrick H. Connel-
ley, state labor commissioner. The
governor, it is said, told them frank~
Iy that Mr. Connelléy would not be
reappointed.

The governor, it is reported, de—
clared that Republicans were clam-
oring for one of their own party for
the position, and that he could not
see fit to name the Danbury man
again. .

This news caused great disappoint-
ment in Danbury. especially among
the union labor men. Mr. Connelley
has been generally regarded as a
highly efficient state officer, and he
has won the reputation of being per~
fectly on the square.

Failure to reappointment will put
Mr. Connelley in line for the post-
mastership of Dsnbury, but he will
have a strong antagonist in James r5.
Cuff, whose friends say is entitled to
the position.

Mr. Connelley will end his term as
labor commissioner on June 1. A
new postmaster will be appointed
next year. At this time it seems cer-
tain that, either Mr. Cull or Mr. COll-
nelley will become postmaster.

it is said that the next commis-
sioner will be Attorney William
Hyde, Republican leader of the
House, but the rumor has not been
confirmed by Governor Holcomb.

 

TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.

A lingering cold, distressing cough.
sleepless nights, a raw. inflamed throat
lead to a run-down condition in which
the child is not able to resist coutag~
ious diseases. Foley's Honey and Tar
is truly healing and prompt in action.
it relieves coughs, colds, croup and
whooping corJgh. Contains no Opiates.

It now occupies the south side of that which was
once the reading and rest room. Ample space and vow
comfortable quarters for the present. The new rest rootlr
is hastening toward completiion. and it will be so much

than the old one, that it is with difficulty vvc await the
