The affair was in many respects

followed the usugl rut of “parties".
All of the guests were gayly bedeck-

labor throughout the United States
today is expected to give the value
of an hour's labor to the cause of
thehntters of. Danbtiry, Conn. whose
homes are about to be sold under the
hammer of an auctioneer in fore-
closure proceedings. The equivalent
of the hour's labor in cash will go
into a fund being raised by the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor for the re-
lief of the 180 defendants in the fam-
ous suit of D. E. Loewe, et. al. vs. Mur-
tin ‘anlor ct. 'al.. which, begun in
1003, reached its final stage in the,
United States District Court here
last week when an order was issued
for the sale of property taken under
attachment in the boycott stilt. There
are 155 parcels of property, mostly the
modest little homes of men who were
named among the defendants. Counsel
for the batters secured the privilege
of having each piece of real-estate
sold separately on the premises in—
stead of in bulk at. an auctioneers
block in the county courthouse. The
homes taken on foreclosure are ”in
Danbury, Bethel and Norwalk.
On January 8, in conformity with a
vote of the American Federation of
Labor Convention held in San Fran-
cisco recently. President Samuel
Gompers issued an appeal to organ
ized labor in this form: “Will you
