STORE FOE MEN 15
The hero of this pathetic tale is a
hat a bright, new straw lid with a
gaudy band around it and a perky lit
tle bow on the side. When we first
meet our hero it is reposing on the
counter of an Omaha hat store among
others of its kind. Enter a customer.
A man who is a loyal supporter of
union labor. ' How much is this hat?"
asks the man of a clerk in the hat
store, after posing1 before the mirror
with one hat after another perched
on his head.
"Three-fifty," replied the clerk
shortly.
"I'll take it," said the man. Then
he looked into the hat for the union
label. It was not there. "I can't take
a hat without a union label," he said,
handing it back to the clerk.
The clerk looked disappointed.
Then he brightened. "I'll fix that," he
said. With a pair of scissors he
quickly removed the label from an
other hat on the shelves. A bit of
paste, and lot here was a union made
hat where none had existed before.
Customer Visits Connell.
The man took the hat. Without
the least hesitation he went straight
to the office of D. J. Connell, deputy
state labor commissioner, who spends
some time in the rooms of the wel
fare board in the city hall. To him
the owner of the hat told the forego
ing story.
Next scene it a visit to the hat
tore proprietor from D. S. L. C,
Connell. 'This is a serious offense,"
explained Connell. "The least you
can expect is a fine of $25 and some
most unpleasant publicity. However,
if you care to swear solemnly that
you will not allow this offense to be
repeated in your store, perhaps I can
square it for you. In return, a do
nation of $25 to the Red Cross would
express your appreciation admirably.-
No undesirable publicity has re
sulted for the hat store proprietor,
the judge before whom the case was
laid was most lenient, the oath re
quested was duly sworn and a Red
Cross receiot for $25 made out to the
hat store man reposes in Connell's
files.
