He is very discourteons. Hr. Lawlor
denies the charge that there has been
any outside interference in Danbury’s
batting troubles. Who attempted to
unionize the Loewe factory? The na-
tional oiiicers. Who inaugurated-Ind
engineered the Loewe boycfltt and
brought about the verdict of the
United States Supreme Court against
the hatters' union tor nearly $300,-
000? The national officers. Who en-
joined the strike of 1909 for Danbury
lntters who were perfectly satisfied?
The national officers. Who took the
union label out of the Simon &
Kcaue's factory recently? The union
onicers. The officers of the local
unions of Danbury have all testified
that they took no step against Loewe
except as ordered by the nationul ofli¥

The leadership since 1909 results in
less factories, it smaller percentage of

tion of viollitingvngreemcnts. Wh‘cna

trouble, noi to allow inexperienced

country.
“it will be interesting to learn the
state of the national hnitcrs‘ treasury,
and if the $40000 owed in 1909 to the
hnnbury local union has been paid.
People on the streets of Dunbury ask
if there is any money in the hatmak-

Luwlor. Mr. Lawlor intimates that l

thc hatters' union, but a batter must

“Mr. Gompers stated several weeks
