HAT'I’ING Ill! INESS 0000.
Sumo of the Perfumes is; llaubnry Work-
ing 'I'hrlr l-‘iill Capacity.
A News reporter has made a circuit of
most of the hat factories in Danbury for
the purpose of learning something of the
present state of trade. rind what the
manufacturers thonglitof the prospects
for a fall trade. For some reasons not
Kitt‘ll. many of the manufacturers re-
quash-d that no individual mention he
mode of their respective factories
The result of the newspaper man's lu-
vustignlion is the statement that the pres'
ent condition of trade in all the feotories
is decidedly good. Many of the factories
—say one-quarter—nre running to their
full limit. In fact. one manufacturer re-
marked that the great difficulty with
him was that he could not get out lists
quick enough. Some of the largest fac-
tories. howavor, are not its bus as they
could be. only being ohlig to run
ouolinlf their capacity. Accord-
ing to many of the manufacturers who
are being rushcd the drive would not last.
and their will be a cessation of "he rush
of getting out hate as soon as the [insect
orders are off. The reason that these
tnctorics are being pushed to their limit
in because the delivery of the aforesaid
orders is very much behind band. By
this it Would appear that not all the fuc-
torica lost their orders by the recentlock-
out and many of the orders that wcrc
taken away from Dnnbury at lhnt time
have since been returned.
Although the condition of trade is good.
it is safe to state that only about three.
quarters of the number that were cm-
ployod before the lookout are now work-
ing. it is not meant that three i uarters
of the employee have been taken rack to
worli. it should or understood that
much new help has taken the place of
old. and the total of those now working
is about one quarter loss than that
employed before the lorkotit. From
wind the manufacturers any they will
not hire more help than what they have
now, their plan being hereafter to give
longer llt‘fll‘llilllll of work to tiles» in their
employ thnn what was ymsihlo hereto
fore with a big sho )‘s crew.
The consensus 0 opinion among the
manufacturers is that the fall trade will
be guild. but nothing to brag of. There
is not. however. a unanimity of opinion
shoutthnt. Rome anticipate (in abund-
ance of work and others are not no son-
guinc. it isulln matter of speculation.
or. fill can put it. it all depends on the

try. if the mills and facmries all over

it is thought. by the mayorlty of menu-
