ALLEN, (ien'I Pass, Agent. FLAYS COMMISSION FORM GOVERNMENT Gov. Blease Makes Characteristic Com. ment on Situation in Orangeburg. Glad That Recall Has Been Invok. ed. Columbia, Dec. 17.-Govqrnor Blease this morning flayed the Cannission form of government and said that the hoped the recall should be Invoked in every city in the State before Christmas where that provision is in force, He said that lie was glad that the recall had been invoked In Orange burg, that while he didn't care who was mayor of that town, still he wanted the people to see just what their re presentatives had put on them. "There is no democracy In the commission form: it's a farce." declared the Gov ernor forcibly. When the commission form was passtd it was vetoed by Governor Blease but was passed over his veto. The Governor this morning denounced the recall wherein twenty per cent of the voters could recall any oflicial. "Why they could have an election ev ery thirty days," he declared pointing out what in his opinion is one of the greatest weaknes'ses in the Coininis sion act. "I hope they will all have the re call," said the Governor, "to show to the people what a nuisance the legis lature put on them. And I hope they will keel) on recalling them," said the Governor pointing out the fact that it was possible to recall the officials ev ery month. It would be an endless system calculated to wear out any of ficials even though they were re elected every time, as was pointed out by the Governor this. mornihg. It is thought in Columbia that an amendment raising the requirement of the percentage of voters to sign a re call petition before it is effective will be offered in the coming session of the General Assembly. Thitedi a "Blense Minn." Governor lilease expressed grati flcation at the election of M. C. liar relson, of Mullins, to the general as sembly from Maarion county. Ms. Hlarrelson, according to the governor, is rated a "lilease man'" while his opponent was placed in the opposite column. Mlarion county, however, is not a Blease county a majority in that section being opposed to the present ad1ministration. 'T'here remains now only one more legislative election, that in Richland county, where a suc cessor to the late George It. iembert is to be elected at a general election to be held soon There are several announced candidates for the position. Thus far there has been no vacancy in the State senate to fill, for the session of the legislaturt which begins Tues day, .tan. 13. Miiils Out Blanks.

Cotting. New York, Dec. 18.-The United States court of appeals today decided the famous Danbury hatters' case in favor of D. E. Loewe & Co., the plain tiff, and against the United Hatters of North America. The court affirmed a judgment in favor of Mr. Loewe and against the hatters' organization for $252,130. With interest a'nd costs the judg ment now amounts to $272,000. At the first trial, held in 1909, the plain tiffs obtained a judgment for $232, 2-10. Sustaining the second judgment, Judge Cox declared that it was no longer debatable "that the anti-trust act. is applicable to such combinations as are alleged in the complaint," and that the act made no distinctions he tween classes of coml,!nations or in dividuals. The court held that it clearly had been established the;t the plaintiffs were engaged in an interstate busi ness, and that the defendants are members of a trades union and aflil iated with the American Federation of Labor, "one of the objects of the latter organization being to assist its members 'in any justifiable boycott and with financial help in the event of a strike or lockout.'" Judge Cox said in conclusion of his findings: "No one disputes the proposition that labor unions are lawful. All must admit that they are not only lawful butt highly beneficial when legally and fairly conducted, but like all other combinations irrespective of their objects and purposes, they must obey the law." Long in the Courts. Danbury, Conn., I)ec. IS.---The so called ,Danbury hatters' case has been bofore the courts for more than ten years. Once it was before the United States supreme court. Of the 210 original defendants, more than 30 xince have died and two have gone insane. The American Federation of Labor supported the hatters and prominent labor ofilcials. including Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell, gave testimony at sonne of the trials. A walkout of union hatters employ ed by D. 1E. Loewe & Co., in 1902 was the beginning of the case. The fac tory up to that time and since has been conducted on a non-union basis. In 1903, I). E. Loewe & Co. brought suit against Martin Lawler and 239 other members of the ia tters' union alleging a boycott that was in vio hation of the Sherman anti-trust laws, in that interstate comm ee 'was re strained. The company alleged that its blusi nless had been seriously injured by the boycott and claimed $250,000 damages. Soon after the suit was brought the American Fedleration of Labior de cidied to stand behxind the defendants and~ to reimburse thiem against any loss. Tihe Anti-boycott Society of Anmerica helped tihe plaintiit, so the litigation dlevelopled into a legal bat tie between the two organizations. After mnay delaxys the case wvas a's signed for trial ix the Ulnited States district court, but was not then tried, becing takeix to tihe suxpreme court for interpretation. In February, 1908, thxe supreme couirt hlandedl down a de cision, in effect, that the allegations constitutedl a violation of the Shier manx law. lIx Octobem', 1909, its trial was begun before thxe tUnited States dlistrict court axt Hlartfordt. After a trial of 74 weeks the jury returlnedl a verd(ict for the plaintiffs of $74.000. JIudge Plat t, now deeaxsed, awnarded triple dlamages, in accordance with the She'rmnan law, so that with costs, the total amoxunt was $232,34.i The verdict was set aside by the couirt of appeals andl a new trial or dleredl. Feder'al .Judge Martin of Ver mont heardl the second tr'ial at Hart ford and onx October 11, 1912, the jxur'y rendered a verdict for the plaintiff of $80,000 andl costs, tile amouint being tr'ebled, according to law. Tlhe case again was ap~pealedl andl the arguments were heard in New York last month. $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this paper wiil be pleased to learn that there is at least one( dlreadled disease that science haw bleen able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
