Second Strike Benelil Paid to Men
Today at Central Labor Lyceum
/ I
'l‘oday brought forth its customary
bunch of rumors in relation to the hat
strike but there, were practically no
developments of real importance in
any quarter affected by the tieup.
The strike was four weeks old yes-
terday and so far as outward indica-
tions go, the troubto is no nearer a
settlement than when the trade stop-
ped work. The manufacturers continue
to assert. that all business between
them and the union is over for good
and all. time. and that it is the “open
shop" and nothing else. and the trade
continues confident that their places
cannot be duplicated.
One of the early morning rumors
was to the effect that thirty finishers
and curlers were on their way tip from
phiiadclphia, to work in the Crofut
' a Knapp factory. The news was quite
a surprise at. the. factory, where the
rumor was said to be untrue. in to
day's Sentinel. the company advertises
for trimmers and binders. offering pay
during instruction, and it appears that
this is in litre with the company’s
avowed intention of making a small
beginning and increasing the output
slowly. John Ii. Wolthuuscn has not
yet made an effort to reopen his fac-
tory.
Today the members of the trade at
fected by the strike received their
second pay bout the strike fund. it
has been learned that the married men
are not to be limited to the 87 which
was at first specified. When a man

members of the trade who??? re figuring
on going into the rough business for
themselves, have been looking at the
old Adams shop in Railroad avenue.
but that if they open up. it will prob-
ably be in Danbury.
According to an Associated Press
despatch from Danbury this afternoon.
there is no rii‘t in the dark. cloudy
This despatch
says: .
Careful inquiry in this citv supple.-
1ncnted by reports from other batting
distIritts. fails to 1IIe1eai anything of an
authentic nature. that indicates an hu-
rncdiate change of conditions in the
hat strike. so far as this city is con-
cerued. and there seems little hope.
that the coming week will bring re-
li1Il‘. There are many rumors of imI
pending action. but they are all met
with authoritative denial.
“We are waiting to give. our people
plenty of time to return to work if
they want to do so. The shops are
still open for that purpose." is the sub-
stance of statements the manufactur-
ers have blade each day since Tues—
day. On the olbcr hand. the union
ofiicers sa1 that no union hatter has
returned to 11 or l1 and then 1I is no 1Ie.1
son to expect that .11111me will do s15
under the present conditions
A story here today is that the manu-
facturers expect to conctInll'llttI all
their forces in one shop in this city
with the help from which applications
have already been received, and to
fill as 111a11y.ol' their orders as llilry
can in that way. This is neither con
firmed nor denied b,\- the nutnufactur»
ers.
About 315.000 is being paid out to
the men this afternoon by the. United
Hatters of North America. The pay-
ment is the second that has been made
since the trouble began. The money
comes from the national defense fund
of the organization, which is to be re-
plcnishcd by contributions from other
unions throughout the country.
Edward von Gal. of Danbury. vice
president of the National Association
of Hat Manufacturers. made positive
denial yesterday afternoon of the truth
of the report that. there was a threat-
ened deflection of manufacturers from
the ranks of the Association. and that
any overtures had been made. to the
United Hatters for renewal of the rela-
tions that existed before the strike
Martin Lewior. secretary of the Uni-
ted Hatters of North America. In an
interview in the Da'hbury Eyening
News yesterday afterli‘oon, also. denied
the truth of the story and said that
no manufacturers have made to the
1‘ nited Hatters a proposition of the nu.
lure indicated. ,
Hiram Fox. of New Haven. a mem-
ber of the state Board of Mediation

Union Should Stand Up lor Their
Rights. but Musi Slop Fighting
Editor of The Evening Sentinel:
The occurrenca of a strike in the
principal industry of this city brings
home to us all the question involved.
We do not mean to say that it is pcrI
linent for us to enter upon a discussion
of the innnediale matter in dispute
between the hattcrs‘ union and the as-
sociation of 111111111fact11rers. The con-
cern of the people at large is along
this line of inquiry: is there any way
or method of procedure by which alll
the troubles. disputes. strikes. agree
ments. compromises, arbitrations 11nd
cverlastingly recurring settlements be-
tween capital and labor may be ef-
fectually disposed and eliminated?
Heaven must. approve a conclusion
which would free mankind from the
turmoil of agitation. and forever re.
more from the toiling shoulders of
labor the awful burden of strikes.
That. labor is driven to use any Wear
pen in defense of itself shows thul
there is something radically wrong in
the industrial organization. That it
avails itself of the strike. a method of
warfare destructive and injurious to
the interests of labor. shows that its
efforts to eradicate the evil from which
it suffers are ill conceived and mis-
directed. The principle of the union
———orgnnization of all to attain the com-
mon purpose of ull~ls that which lies
at the basis of human society. The
organization of labor. to secure the ob-
jects for which labor is exerted. is
righteous in purpose. sound in princi-
ple. and meets the approving sanction
of mankind. Strong with the strength

One of the most. select dances of the
season was that held in the Town As-
sembly ilall. last evening. by the mom.
born of the. Matinee Whist Club.
The members of the club issued 11
largonumberof invitations. and many
guests were from out-of—towu. The hall
was decorated in a very appropriate
manner for the approach of St. Vaicu
tine's day. and presented a very pretty
appearance.
At the west end of the hall, near the
entrance. a. huge American fiag was
artistically draped, and in outI section
of the hall a cozy corner was arrang
ed of pretty rugs and sofa pillows. All
around the side walls were hundreds
of various sizes of red hearts. “and on
all the rafters were hung large hearts.
suggestive of Valentine‘s day. N11111-
erous American flags of various sizes
adorned the walls also,
The platform was moved to the con
tor of the hall. and was entirely intuit
ed with palms and other greens. Two
large palms also stood at the entrance
of the ball, and the incandescent
globes Were covered with a delicate
strode of crepe, paper throwing a pretty
light 011 the scene.
Speidel's orchestra. of Bridgeport.
furnished excellent music for the
twenty dances on the program. and
night extras were given at the close
of the program. it was at a late hour
when the merry dancers dispersed.

HAil'i‘lI‘OllD, Feb. 13‘.~,«Sovernl 111at~
ters of interest to Norwalh were intro-
duced in the general assembly, yester-

inlr oduc ed by senator iloizer:
“if any corporation shall in this

business or in the sale of any com-
modity not authorized by its charter

would do away with the fisheries and

ment and until his successor is ap-
pointed, unless sooner removed by the
governor. He shall have. all the pow-
era and duties possessed by the coup
mlsslouers of fisheries‘and game pre
vious to the passage of this act."
The bill carries a salary of $2.500
per year and expenses annually incur-
red ln the discharge of his duties. It
provides that he shall have an office

clerical assistance as may be neces-
sary and proper for the conduct of his
