Councilman John E. Paul, president
of the Hat Finisher s Union whose pru-
perty has been attached in the suit of
D. E. Lowe and company, against trade
unions, alleging damage through boy-
cott, was interviewed this moruxng. lie
said that he could not tell yet what the
suit amounted to. He believed that
the union would wait and let the other
side unmask its batteries betore taking
action. He said that no meeting of
the union had been called as yet and
be was unable to state what would 0c-
cur. lie did not appear to be worry-
lug Very much over the matter.
William A. Brennan secretary of the
Hat Makers' Union, was naked regard-
ing the suits. He said that the hat-
ters would probably lie on their cars
and let the other side do the fighting.
"Though we will be ably represented
by counsel when the time comes. 1 do
not believe that the affair will amount
to much. We have not called a meet-
ing as yet and do not known when we
will-do so. The papers were served on
upon us this morning. so we have bad
no time to do anything in regard to the
matter."

was interviewed this afternoon regard-
ing the suit of inewe a Cu. He said:
"Sonic-e of the writs in the case was
complete this morning on the local ...-
fendants who will be held responsible
in the suit.
Undoubtedly something will be done
to relieve those whose property has
been attached and the probable course
will be to give a bond which will at-
low the attachments to be released.
We are inclined to believe that it will
be very hard for the plaintiffs in win
such a suit."
in the opinion of some of the mem-
bers of the batters organisations whose
property and bank accounts hays been
attached it is looked upon as being not
so much the property as the individ-
uals that the plaintld in this action is
looking for. As a matter of (set, prop-
erty owned by members of the local
organisation and thereby answerable

others and whose property probably
aggregates more than the 8100. 000 ask-
ed for. have been conveniently over-
looked. though the same facilities for

ed by those who instituted suit.
One prominent hatter said: "We
look upon it as a kind of a drag net
affair and the individuals are not very
much concerned as to the outcome.
Similar suits have been tried before.
it is a drag net but the meshes are
pretty large. it is a fight against or-

it will be strongly contested you may
have no doubt as to that."

Saturday night over the report that
Julius W, Hubbell, well-known resident
of that locality, had run away with his
daughter-ln-law, the wife of Frank
Hubbell. and that‘both were on their
way to Wabash, Indiana.
What caused the people to come to
this conclusion was evidently the fact
that Mrs. liubbell left a note for her
husband in which she stated that she
had become tired of him and of South
Norwalk, and proposed to return to
her home in the west. Mr. Hubbell,
Sr., is also reported to have made an
effort on Saturday morning to sell his
property, and did dispose of his chick-
meat market in Benton street. Hub-
