Finishers Employed by the Cro-
fut d: Knapp Co. Returned to
Work This Morning After a
Ten Oeye’ Vacation Owing-to
Dispute Over Bill of Prices
As announced yesterday afternoon,
the batting troubles between the Cro.
fat and Knapp factory finishers and
the company were settled before the
day was over, and everything is again
sweet and serene.
This morning the finishers Went
back to their benches, and everything
is again running along as smoothly
as if nothing had come along to cause
a ruffle and a sh0p coil.
The section of the bill of prices
‘over which the trouble arose was it-
nally settled during the day by the
company and the committee appoint-
ed by the association of Finishers af-
ter conference with the bosses, and
the affixing of the signatures of the
latter, reported back to the finishers
at a meeting held yesterday afternoon
at Central Labor Union Lyceum, in
Washington street. The question of
whether the men would go back to
work this morning or wait ulttll Mon-
" day was talked over at considerable
length, but it was finally decided that
operations should be resumed this
morning.
The trouble was over drawing off of
the brims of hats. the finishers dcclltr
ing to do the work without extra pay.
The company then decided to have
the work done on the machines, as it
previous to last week.
The present season promises to be
the most successful in the history of
the Crofut and Knapp Company, for
the Mg concern is now engaged in
. the biggest advertising campaign over
waged by a batting concern. The sum
of $20,000 is being spent, the com-
pany coming out, time and time again
with full pa e yertisements in such
leading publ catidne as Collier‘s week-
ly, McClure's Mag sine. the Saturday
Evening Post an others. Pictures

by the celebrated artist. Edward Pen-

for‘ the fall. but intercom" aign can’t
help but'assist the sale" f the com-
pany'- famous “Felt behax" and
"Knapp-Felt," 86 and $4 mtail grades.
The trouble which caused the lock-
out of the finishers was over “drawing
of!" the hrlms. This matter was nev-
er settled when tlte general hill of
prices came up for a settlement a
numbr of weeks ago. and when the
company weighed out work several
days ago with instructions to "draw
off" the brims. the men quit.
A NOTABLE CONVERSION.
Former Representative George L.
Rockwell Joule catholic bwrch.
The Catholic Transcript. issued to-
day, contains the following under a
Ridgefield date line, concerning a well-
known South Norwalk business man:
“On August 15, the Feast of the As-
. sumptlon, George Lounsbury Rock
well was received in the Catholic
Church, and, because of his promi—
nence in social and political life
throughout the state. his reception
into the church excited considerable
publicity. Mr. RockWell is the neph-
ew of two former governors of Con-
necticut—Phineas C. and George
Lounsbury—was a vcstryman for
years in the Episcopal Church. and
received many honors of tho itcpnbli»
can party, of whichihe is file leader
‘ ‘in his town. For years this stop was
.autlcipated by intimate friends. who
could not fail to observe the course of
Ms reading and his inclination to dis-
“ cuss all questions bearing on Catholic
teaching and practices. Reserved and
studious in disposition, he gave no in-
‘ ‘ . tlmation to casual acquaintances bf his
' changing views, and, as a consequence,
, the stop he has taken excited no little
”V'surprise. ' Seeking to explain his mo-
, tives, the state papers give various.
and, in coma instance, ludicrous cx-
planatlon. whereas the truth is the
. . stop he has taken is the result of years
5; of patient research and study. and at-
‘. fords the example of a man hesitating,
‘ and fearful of making a mistake, but.
;‘ finally convinced and obliged to yield
when reason and conscience claim the
mastery."

COLORED VOTERS
‘ ARE INDEPENDENT
u. u. Jackson States That He
and Others Are Not Influenc-
ed By High School Ianitorship
Editor of The Evening Sentinel.
Dear Sir: Ill answer to a statement
in last evening's Sentinel that there
was a rumor about the town that if
Mr. Fisher was elected Janitor of tile
town high school, the colored voters
of the town would promise the Repub-
lican party 100 votes at the coming
election, i would like to any a few
words in behalf of myself and those
colored men who are of the same dis~
position. 1 Would like to state positive,
ly that ever since i have been a voter
I have at all times been 'an independ-
ent voter, never allowing myself to
be influenced by others. I know there
are other colored men in town as ill-
dependent fn this respect as I am.
In my opinion. if this rumor con-
tains any truth, this action about the
colored vote is-not only "a disgrace to
the board of school visitors," but it is
a disgrace .to the colored population
of the town also. There may be some
who have let their voting be influenced
by the election of the janitor, of the
high school, but. I can assure the. road-
crs that not all colored citizens have
acted thus. 1 fort] that those colored
citizens who believe. as i do,.in voting
according to the dictates of their own
conscience should be justified before
the community. Thanking you for
space in the columns of your paper. l
remain.
Truly yours,
N. M. JACKSON.

Positive word was received in
South Norwalk last night by wireless
telegraph that William J. Mclingh. Jr..
Norman and'Godfl-oy Shaw and War-

socllttod Press dcspnlcll to the Even-

Al.‘IIlp request of the show broth~
tl’l‘n' mother, .I. J. l-lnvcns. inltitor of
The Knob. had a wireless message
sent front the Wilson Point station to
Block island, asking for information,
and to the great joy of the parents of
all of the boys, the reply came back
that. the young men were perfectly
safe and were spending the night at
the government house at Block island.
The storm, which was quite a se-
vere one even in these protected wat-
ers was a genuine gale at Block is-
land. and though the Little Haste was
anchored In the comparatively safe
new harbor on the west side of the is-
land, she and‘another sloop were torn
from their anchorage and tossed on
the shore like mere eggshells.
In their wireless reply last night
the young men said that their boat
was not so badly daamged but that
they could make repairs to her theme
selves and resume their journey 110019-
wsrd. They expected to get back by
Saturday of the present week. mak-
ing their cruise 8 week long.
This morning another message was
sent. on behalf of Woodward's mother.
in which Mrs. Woodward directed her
son to return home by rail.
The lads pluckily set to work this
morning to make the necessary re-
pairs to the Little Haste. This in-
formation was furnished by the sec-
ond message, which, .among other
things. said:
“They have left the vernment.
house and gone out to th r boat and
started to make repairs."
The Little Haste was formerly own-
ed by the Bedfords. of Greens Farms,

The “Mazeiis,” Owned by Iior-
vveik Parties, Believed to Be
a Total Loss
The severe storm of Tuesday night
and yesterday caused the totalloss of
the sloop Mosetta, who went ashore1
on Compo Beach during Wednesday I
morning. When the vessel grounded
and the waves, 10 and 12 feet high,
began to break over her, the two
young men aboard, Clarence Byxbeel
and Thomas Wrist, of South Norwalk. ‘
decided that it was time for them to
get to a place of safety, and they
took the shift and rowed ashore.
They were goven some atten-
tion by the campers out on the
shore. and yesterday they came to
South Norwalk. and reported the loss.
Clarence Byxbce is mean of Captain.
Frederick L. Byxbee. of 16 Cross,
street, South Norwalk.
During their absence yesterday at-
ternoon, the waves continued to wash
over the vessel. and she gradually sob,
tied in the water, and then went to‘
pieces. Parts of the wreckage and.
contents of the cabin were washed
ashore, and it is believed. the vessel‘
will not be of any further use.
She was an old boat, of about five
tons burden, and worth in the neigh-
borhood of $600 or 8600. There was
no insurance on her. She was coming
fmm Bridgeport to South, Norwalk
when the storm broke, and the young
men ran her into the beach for the
purpose of escaping the wild weather‘
out in the Sound. .

The Savannah river began rising
rapidly early Tuesday. continuing

extreme eastern boundary of the city.
So far as known three unknown per-
