The Pioneer Hat Company, of Wu-

all. through the present. batting trouble,
and its business has been increasing
so rapidly that expert workmen have
been greatly needed. To supply that
need, the Dnnbury butting district has
been called upon to furnish men. and
several of the batters in Dnubury who
are unemployed have gone in Wabash

HATS lN VTHE ROUGH.
New Making Shop to be Opened in
Thorpe Street, Bethel.
BE’i‘HEb, March 3.-—A new factory
for the manufacture of hats in the
rough is to be opened soon, in the
building on Thorpe stIcet, which was
formerly the Thorpe Steam Carpet
Cleaning Works shop. The, men who
will make up the company to operate
this business are Edward Siobcr and
Emil Schultz, two practical men in
lbolmaklng end of the not business,
and FIed Otto, the marksman, who
will have a, financial interest in the.
business.
Messrs.,8iebert and Schultz. have
been preparing for the opening of the
shop for some time,‘ and have, it is
understood, the necessary machinery
Ieudy to set up in the factory.
The factory is uhdex‘stood to be fair-
ly well equipped for this business, and
the promoters of the enterprise expect
to put out about thirty-six dozen a day.
l‘lI’cy intend to get ready‘to open the
factory in about a week.
PROSPECTS CHEERFUL.
Still Hope of Adjustment Through lnI

(DanbuI-y News.)
While the efforts of those who are
working as interme‘dlaIies to bring
about an adjustment of the diflioultlcs
in the batting industry have not yet
borne fruit in, the way of arranging a
meeting betvveen representatives of
, each side, there is still ground for op»
tlmlsm and the belief . that harmony
may be restored without greatly pro—
loosing the modem situation.

selves in the solution of this most im-
portant of local problems, has been
Icarrlodlon very quietly, and none of
those who have been engaged in this
service have felt, apparently, that they
were at liberty to discuss the matter
in detail. There have been many stor.
ten in regard to meetings and the ox-
ehange of propositions, but the major-
ity of these meet with flat denial by
members of the citizens‘ committee
and others in positions to know just
how things stand, and it is a. fact that
the only meetings that have taken
place up to the present time are those
to the
side or the other for the purpose of
ascertaining what could be done to-
wards accomplishing a. settlement.
