News on the No Apparent Probability of Change in Hat Situation. The old adage that “no news is good news" can hardly be said to apply to the local situation in the hat trade tic-11p, for with the ending of a week that has brought practically no devel~ opmcnts or change so far as Daubnry is concerned, there appears to be nothing in prospect but another week of the same thing. There appears to be no change of position or attitude on either side, con- stant rumors to the contrary notwith- standing. and both manufacturers and operatives declare that there is no wavering in their respective lines and no probability of any. Ncw111k.01al1ge and South Norwalk are each having their share of inter esting events, as the stories from the local papers of those places tell in each of those places the general condi- tions differ in a marked way from those existing here, for. with daily moorings 11nd entertainments by tho opvu'ativcs and effort on the part of the rrruuufucturers to man their 911' tnblislrruonts with nonounion help. ”N'I'f' is constant action. The policy that hits thus in; been followed in Dau- bury 111111 been one of the most 111nrkod oousorralisur, as compared with the other butting districts. The officers of the local associations express them selves as satisfied that the present policy is the best that could have been chosen under the circumstances and us believing is to be wise to continue it. Today’s crop of rumors was as abundum as that of any preceding day and a number of the stories that seem- ed Worthy of investigation were found to be untrue. or at lcusl. were impos~ slide of confirmation. Lamoon a Hubbard Case. A llostou dispatch to the Daily Trude Record, New York. says: Tire capital stock of this corporation. which succeeds the lint 111anufucturing business of i.11mso11 & Hubbard. lnc., is 3200.000. The capital stock of the old concern was $15,000. Some of the old customers of the business are among the. stockholders. it was said for the company that the business had outgrown its old capitalization and wanted to go into some new lines. No statement was issued regarding the re- port tlint the Concern had incorparted in order to‘avold liability on its bond to the Manufacturers' Association. Tire Daily Trude Record says: Notwithstanding the significance at- tached by union officials to the action of ansou it: Hubbard. of Boston. in breaking away from the Manufactur- ers’ Association by forming a corpora- tion to takeover their business, and resuming on a union basis and rein- stating the label. directors of the Man- ufacturers“ Association and several prominent manufacturers whose fac- tories are affected by the strike Were emphatic in their declaration yester- day that the action “of the Boston firm would not have any important effect on the situation. They said Lamson 6t Hubbard, now known as the Lam- son Air. Hubbard 00., was only a minor factor. its shop turning out about 35 dozens hats daily. and that it, was. common knowledge in the trade that the Boston firm had been negotiating to "duck,'l as one manufacturer put it, since the strike was declared. An- other manufacturerwho is firm in his he was surprised the house in ques- tion had not broken away before this. ‘ He also declared that Lamson & Hub- bard couductcd a small finishing plant. employing 100 hands. in addition to operating two retail establishments Another manqucturer raised a pret- ty question in connection with the bond given by Lsmsdn «it Hubbard to' the association. Not having seen the contract between tiriorgauization and the firm he was mm is to speak with authority, but he suggested that by forming a corporation to take over the business of the firm which signed the agreement with the Maurrtacturers' Association. the Boston men had av-old or liability on their bond when the corporation succeeded the that and resumed on a union basis. Tire point was also made that the Lamson & Hubbard Co. will probably run 11p against a sung in securing hat bodies, as it is not believed that the manufacturers who are members of themanufacturers who are members of the association will accept their orders after the break. and the inde- pendent concerns claim they are so . edit’llllmliifl ' Apollo Chocolates—A full line, not , belief that there will be no'fnrther‘ . deflections from the organization, said $1.00 QUALITY AT 79c Phone 165-5 FLA—NNEL w NightRob’es‘; At Remarkable Reductiofis SEE THE WINDOWDISPz-IiAY Price’s Clething Store 98 Washington Street 50c QUALITY AT ‘ 39c South.
