Against “the Proposition

By a unanimous vote" the Norwalk

its meeting at Central Labor Union
Lyceum, South Main street, that it is
opponed to admitting straw but work-

'I‘heproposition in regard to bring-
ing in the straw workers was broached
some time ago by the officers of the
national body and has been frowned
upon by the local felt workers since it
was mentioned. The sentiments of the
local unions all over the country will
be secured.

Prominent. South Norwulk batters.
in speaking of the amalgamation of
the two would bring about constant
friction between the workers in each
trade. They say that the straw hat
workers know absplptely nothing
about making felt goods and the mak-
ore of lhe latter are equally ignorant
to regard to the straw product.

The subject appeals particularly di-
rect to the batters of Norwalk, as
there are two large straw hat works

WILMINGTON. N. 0.. Oct. l2.-——The
murder of Captain llumlll and four of

ing in irons three negroes, all that

attracted by the reckless manner in
which the ill-inter vessel was being
steered, her course threatening to run
down his own vessel. Captain Taylor
and crew boarded the vessel and pine
ed the nogrocs in irons. bringing the
two vessels off the bar. when one of
thmn was towed in by Wilmington

outside prevented her removal im-
