:
Ni;V YORK. Hay 2:.'. The United
Hatters of North America, in conven
tion here voted today not to raise a
fund to sa.ti.vfy the 1285.000 judgment,
affirmed by- the United States Supreme
Court, to Loewe & Co., hat manufac
turers of Danbury. Conn., against mem
bers of the Hatters' Union.
The hatters voted, however, to raise
a fund for the relief of the individuals
..whose homes and bank accounts have
been attached to satisfy the judg
ement. This determination was voiced
1'in the following resolution adopted in
'.J executive session:
.1 "The United Hatters of North Amer-Jli-a.
deny the statement of T. K.
"iT.oewo & Co.. and the attorneys for the
"5 Anti-Boycott Society that this organi-
nation has agreed with anyone to pay
- the judgment in this case and hereby
declares It to b our purpose not to
apply any of the funds of the orKani-
7.Htion or any funds w may receive for
"' tile relief of our members to the pay-
meat or satisfaction of this judgment.
Individuals to Br Aided.
'.J "But this organization pledges its
assistance to the members affected by
i taid judgment and resolves further
that an assessment of one per centum
on the dollar of tlic. -weekly earnings
ot the members of this organization,
" on. and after July 1, be and the same
11 is hereby assessed and levied to be
" collected ns other assessments are col
; lected and the money realized there
; i from shall constitute a fund to be
I" used and employed by the officers of
it this organization In such manner as
they may deem best for the relief and
Ti benefit of said members affected by
"1 paid judgment, and, 'Resolved, further,
that the officers and directors of this
il organization be and are hereby auth
'j orized and directed to appeal to the
i American Federation of Labor and to
labor and other organizations for as
1 distance and contributions to the said
; j funds for the purposes aforesaid.' "
Mornl 'VVrontc Is OenletL
In preambles to the resolution, the
j1 hatters asserts that it was not known
" until the decision of the Supreme Court
it in this case, whether tho Sherman law
was intended to apply to labor organi
T nations and tho defendants, "though
tX held legally wrong in the opinion of
IJthis organization, were guilty of no
moral wrong."
'j The preambles also set forth that it
i was reasonable and proper that tho
fT hatters' organization should relieve
insofar as possible the distress of the
I members affectedly the Judgment and
i make comfortable'their declining years.
The action taken today by the hat
?' tcrs came at the closo of ,the sixth
annual convention and was in answer
ij to an open letter signed by D. 13. Loewe
)& Co., published April in news-
Ti papers circulating in Danbury and
vicinity. In tills letter, it was said
! that foreclosure action against prop
' crty of the defendants had been de
i; layed in order to give the United Hat
ij ters an opportunity to avoid proceed
' ings against individual homes should
it eo desire. It was added that tin
7. less that organization at its approach-
J'- ing convention should make provision
J to fulfill its alleged written covenant
to pay tho judgment, foreclosure would
" follow.

America and Britain Find
There Is Misunderstanding.
CARGO QUESTION DELAYED
Ambassador Spring-Rice Has Same
Idea as Advisers of State De
partment! Britisli Foreign
Office to Bo Corrected.
WASHINGTON, May 22. The in.
formal and unofficial conferences be
tween the commercial adviser of the
British Embassy and the State Depart
ment advisers to expedite handling ot
American cargoes were suspended to
day by the State Department because
of. the apparent misapprehension in
London of how far they bind the United
States Government.
Tho suspension of the conferences
was announced by the department in
the following official statement:
"In view of differences which have
arisen in the informal and unofficial
conferences between Sir Richard Craw
ford, the commercial adviser of the
British Embassy, and Robert F. Rose
and W. B. Fleming, the trade advisers
of the Department of State, who have
been in & personal capacity represent
ing the importers of the United States,
Mr. Rose and . Mr. Fleming have de
cided that they cannot continue these
conferences until certain of the dif
ficulties have been removed."
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British Am
bassador, called on Secretary Bryan
earlier in the day and explained that
the British Embassy here had the
same understanding as the foreign
trade advisers "of the State Department
that the informal arrangements to as
sist the American cotton interests did
not affect the legal rights of the Uni
ted States in its opposition to the Brit
ish, order in council.
The ambassador brought with him a
copy of the statement he issued last
night, which suggested that there had
been either an error in the telegraphic
transmission of the British Foreign
Office .memorandum or the impression
obtained by British officials in Lon
don from their conferences with Amer
ican representatives.
The United States will make inquiry
of t,he American Embassy at London
to establish whether British official
there have any idea, as set forth in
the Foreign Office memorandum, that
the United States was bound by the ar
rangements made by the cotton in
terests. Ambassador Page would be
instructed, it was said, to correct any
misapprehension on the subject.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Or., May 22. (.Special. Re
ports received by Professor John-
Dryden. of the poultry deourtment -of
the Oregon Agricultural College, indi
cate that the Oregon ' Agricultural
College hens, entered in the egg-laying
contest which is a feature at tho Panama-Pacific
Exposition. have been
leading all other entries for tho past
month, and stand well at the top of
tho list. A summary of results issued
May 15, at the close of the first six
months of the contest, shows that the
Oregon Agricultural College pens, each
ot which is composed of ten fowls,
stand in second, third, and fifth places.
For the last month. ' April 15 to May
15, the Oregon Agricultural College
leghorns were the highest pen, with
a record of 20fi pjrps, while the. Oregon
Agricultural College crosses, with 18S
eggs, were in second place.
The rating of the five highest pens
for the six-month period is as fol
lows:
First. O. I. Adams, Canada., Wyan-
dotts II.. eRtfS
srf,nd, O. A. C. I.echorns ......... 7HS egKS
Third. O. A. C. crosses 71S egs
Fourth, Fitzgerald, California, Lck-
horns 703 eggs
Fifth. O. A. C, Barred Plymouth
Rocks t;4 ecsv
"This report shows that the Oregon
Agricultural College pens are gaining
ground, said Professor Dryden. "Last
month the Leghorns were 47 eggs be
hind the highest pen, while this month
they- are only five eggs behind. Tl
rroBses also went from fifth to third
place during the month. The en
couraging thing in the record of our
hens is that the three pens stand to
gether right near the top. The same
system of breeding has been followed
in producing the three pens and the
results demonstrate very clearly that
the breeding has been good. The re
sults have ulso brought out the fact
that the feed given hens is not every
thing."- - ,,
