that such conduct on the part of the

self, is detrimental as a fact to the
reputation of unionism and to the

It seems therecan be no doubt that

The C. a K. Co. has paid for a num»

they saw fit to demand. The proof
of this statement ‘is in the fact that
‘ ‘ the writer of it on two occasions
about four years ago made the above
declaration in the presence of the
national secretary and before a regai-

ANOTHER HATTIRO’ IENEFIT.

Hold Last Night in Music Hall and
Very Succession.
Another successful benefit for the
batters was held last night at Music
Hall, when the management put on a
big vaudeville program. after which
there was dancing until 1 o 'clock. The
music for the dancing following the
regular am, was furnished by the
Not-walk and Stamford Musical Union.
and included urteen pieces. The hall
was well fill , though the attendance
was not quite as large as on the oc-
casion of the first two benefits. The
proceeds are for the strike benefit
funds of the Trimmers' Association.
The next benefit will be held Fri-
day night at Anthony Geronimo' s thea’
tre in Stamford, when there will also
be a vaudeville program
This afternoon the Trimmers had a
roll call at 1 o'clock, after which they
went over to Music Hall for a dance.
They are attended by the young men
of the trade who are not working and
other guests.
Today's meeting of the national ad»
visory board of the trade, which is be-
ing held in New -York today and is be
ing attended by John W. Scullcy, is a
regular session.
The Trimmers have been consider
ing a chase in the dates for their
roll cells, D t no action has yet been
taken.
Lemongelll Factory Experimenting.
A trial dozen and one-half hats of a
cheaper grade than made here. but
which are turned out under the Dan-
hury bill of p ices. are being put
through the Le ongelli factory in
North Main street. The ofilcers of the
Trimmers' Association say regarding
prices that there will be no trouble
for the company to get the same trim-
ming price as in Danbury. but that no
lower of the binding prices can be
made without a vote of the associa-
tion. No bill has ever been made
here for this grade of binding.
THE HATTING SITUATION.
Mayor. of New" and o’erige Not
to Name _mrnittess.
(Danbury News. Monday.)
That the mayors of the cities com-
prising the principal hattlng districts
in Connecticut are not to have the co-
operation of the executives of the two
principal hat manufacturing cities in
New Jersey, in their recently lnaugur»
ated movement to find a way to adjust
the trouble in the batting industry, is
apparent from announcements made in
Newark and Orange, Saturday. Mayor
Haussllng. of Newark, and Mayor
Seymour. of Orange. have both decided
not to appoint committees as requested
by the Mayor of South Norwalk. or at
least not at present.
The movement for a meeting of com.
mlttecs representing all the important
batting centers of the country started
in South Norwalk, and Mayor Gilbert.
of Daubury. responded immediately by
asking the citisena‘ committee already
in existence to act as requested in the
communication from South Norwslk.
Things remain unchanged in this city
today. and inquiries of men ln,cfilclal
positions on each side brought replies
that nothing of importance had trans-
pired. and that so far as they knew.
nothing was in immediate prospect
There have been numerous stories in
circulation during the last few days.
about some further effort being made
by manufacturers in this city to get
their shops in operation. One story
was'a revival of the one generally dis-
cussed several weeks ago, to the effect
that a number of manufacturers in-
tended to combine their efforts in one
factory. That these stories have reach~
ed oxitside places was apparent from
the fact that telephone inquiries as to
their correctness were received from
other cities today.
No Information was to be had in this
city, today, in regard to suchamove-
ment and nothing that could be learn-
ed here indicated that the steries were
correct.
In Other Districts.
The Newark News Saturday evening
said
Having decided at a conference yes~
terdsy with Mayor Arthur B. Seymour.
of Orange. that no good could be ac-
comp‘ llahed by attempted interference
on t elr part in the labor troubles of
the hat manufacturmls and the batting
unions. at the pusent stage of the sit~
nation at least. Mayor Jacob Hausa-
Ila:l today wrote to former Mayor
stlan Swami, of South Norwallt,
Conn" declining an invitation to be-
come one of a proposed arbitration
committee of five mayors. Mr. Sey-
mour sent a similar communication in
his own behalf.
The invitation to the mayors of New-
ark and Orange came simultaneously
with similar requests sent to the may-
era of New York. Philadelphia and
Danbury. Conn“ all of which are large
but manufacturing districts. it was to
the effect that these five mayors should
form a committee, and seek permission
from the two sides of the labor fight.
to act as arbitrators, with a view to
bringing about a satisfactory settle~
ment of the conflict The invitation
was sent out by a committee of South
Norwalk business men of which the
mayor and wo former mayors of that
city are members.
' In discussbi the situation. from his
knowl gs oft tIi
recall to Newark's mayor that he
had endeavored to bring about just
such a plan of arbitration some time
ago, but without success. He also re-
called that other efforts from outside
the trade had been made to adjust the
trouble, but withmsw little afloat. Mr.
Seymour's “was.“ at this

proposed that the plan of interference
be postponed to a more auspicious per-

Service of preliminary a rite of in-
junction upon officers of the Ha'ttcrs'
Union in Orange and their agents by
men from the sheriff's office rcstrains
them from plcketlng the Borg hat fsc~
tory, in the Orange Valley Hattlug dis-
trict. or acting in any way that would
coerce employee of F. Berg a Co. Sev-
eral writs were served last night, and
many more will be handed to the union
leaders by constables today. Three
women. members of the Hat Trim-
mers' Union, are among those who will
receive writs.
While ViceChunccllor
joined the batters from interfering
with the hat manufacturers in the
court of Chancery on April 9. personal
service of the papers is necessary to
restrain the batters and justify con-
tempt of court proceedings if they do
not obey the court's order.

will receive them from congregatlng

highways or at or near the railroad

intimidating the Borg employee. An»
other prohibition is against “conspir-
ing in meetings or otherwise conspir-
ing together, by threats or other coer-
cive actions. to induce employee of
the complainant to leave the service
of the complainant. or prevent by ille-
gal means any person from entering
the service of the complainant."

Argument on Application for injunc-

United States Circuit Court at Tren-
ton. Judge Cross yesterday afternoon
heard the argument on a demurrer
flied by the United Hatters of North
America as defendants in the action
instituted by the Samuel Mundheiui
Co. in behalf of the Associated iiat
Manufacturers. A novelty of the pro
cecdlngs was that the manufacturers
sought to invoke the provisions of the
sherman anti-trust act. in summrt of
the demurrer. the strikers were repre-
sented by Samuel Kallsch and Edward
Colic, who contended that the bill was
multifarious, and that they believed
it to be defective in that there was
misjoluder of litigants. They charac-
terized the bill as an absolute anomaly.
and contended that the Sherman set
could not be made the basis of an ac-
tion in equity.
