"_ Committee of Striking: workmen Had
Conference With A. A. Graham,
but no Agreement Reached—
Mr. Graham Says it Is True
That Factory la Closed.
All the employees of the Graham-
‘Erncst cigar factory have now gone on
strike and the prospect is that the fac
tory will be closed for some time as
each side is remaining firm in the
stand it has taken. All through the
morning the cigar makers employed in
the factory have assembled in bunches
of four or live on the street corners
and discussing the matter. The first
inkling that the public had of the trou-
ble in the factory was in the exclusive
account printed in the Sentinel last
night.
Yesterday, only part of the men re-
fused to work but they had so much
influence with their fellow workmen
that all the other cigar makers, with
the exception of three. and a good
share of the women employees have
signified their intention of joining the
forces of the union workmen. A com
mittee of the striking workmen had a
conference this morning with A. A
Graham at the‘ company ’s office. but
no agreement was reached between
them

course was decided noon this morning
at a secret meeting held in Hibern-
lan’s hall, in Washington street. The
men claim that they‘cannot make as
much per week with'the “fresh" or
"team” work as they on with the
“hand made” work by three or four
dollars. They. say that the company's
decision to change them from the
“hand made” to the team work is
merely a method to out down their
wages. They further claim that the
two kinds of cigars when finished. are
both of the same value. in the hand
made work the cigar is made complete

During the coming school year the
South Norwalk Union School District
will occupy thirty classrooms. at the
three buildings; the Franklin. the Don.

more than was in use last year. due to
the necessity of providing for the ex-
cess of pupils. who at the close of
school in June. were members of the
kindergarten, eighty being enrolled in
the one at Franklin. and sixty-live in
the one at the rented Knudsen'1Hall.
The new accommodation thus called
for has been provided by the lease, by
the District Committee. es the entire
Knudsen building. The two south
rooms on the second floor of this struc-
turc have been thrown into one. by re-
moving the partition, and a commo-
dlous class room, with seating capacity
for forty—eight pupils provided Am-
