lf fate ltsd in store any big gather.
lng, last evening, at closing time at
the Crofut and Knapp hat factory,
similar to the situation which develop-
ed the evening before, it, was complete»
ly dissipated by the young blizzard.
which swept over the city yesterday
afternoon, turning to rain about 4 o‘-
clock. and by the. fact that tho two
batters, Edward Barrett and Patrick
H. llaugh, on whom so much attention
has been focused for the past few
nights.’ left the factory early. They
went to their homes about 3: 30, walk
ing up through the «by as usual to
gether.’

The police, however. were right on
the job. though it was evident that
there would be no occasion for the ox-
trn policemen whom Chief Vollmcr
had counted on earlier in the day. an-
ticipatlng that it would not he s‘totmv.
Last evening, including the chief.
there were six. regulars out. and one
extra policeman; but they had ahso
lutely nothing to do in the way of con-
trollying any following of employee of
the Crofut and Knapp Company. Not
a single person had gone to the vicin-
ity of the factory to be on hand at
closing time.

ill view of the stormy Weather today,
the police expect that there will be no
gathering this evening, though they
intend to give no canine for complaint
that they allowed a following of. my
C. andK K. employe.

Mayor Bumsll improved.

Mayor Francis l. Burned, who was
indisposed ~aftowhlhstreunons physi-
cal and mental exercise of Wednes-
day. when he assumed personal charge
of the police force of the city, has been
steadily impro‘bi .{iihd this morning
came out doors, thougli he has not
yet. fully recovered. The strike att-
nation has been worrying the mayor a
great deal, and it was just at the
time that be though all trouble from
gatherings about the factory of the
C. and K. Company had been growing
steadily smaller and would soon disap-
pear entirely, that Messrs. Barrett
and Plough became the center of at-
traction, culminating ln the three ar-
rests Wednesday.

.The Barrett Letter.

The Crofut and Knapp Company has
that issued the May number of their
little monthly publication called the
Hatman. devoted to the interests of
the company's products. The issue
is largely taken up with articles per~
mining to their stand for the open
shop and their disuse of the union la~
bel. As a supplement for thls~lssue is
the letter which Edward Barrett pub-
lished when be publicly renounced the
union .and returned to work at the
-iactory. The Holman is distributed
primarily about the retail lint trade,
but of into it has also been sent to
many local peoille. “i‘he supplement.
containing the communication says:

‘Mr. Edward Barrett, the writer of
this let tet,’ is a runner president of
the United Hatters of North America.
a fainter justice oi the pea c .i ment-
her of the Hatters Union of twetilv-
six years standing, and for many
years previous to the strike an em-
ploys of the Ct‘oiut and Knapp Com-
pany.” .

Bridgeport Benefit.

Charles Flynn and Julius Hubbeil.
of the local‘entertaiument committee
or theatrade, went to Bridgeport, yea-
terdsy. and made the dual arrange-
ments for the. big hatters' benefit
which will be held in Bridgeport un-
der the auspices of the Bridgeport La-
bor Union. It will be held on May 19,
at Eagle’s Hall, and will consist of an
entertainment and dance.

It is eiipected that a large delega-
tion will go over from South Norwnik
Some of the ladies of the trade Joking.

they return home on the midnight

them that they will stay as IOltg as
they like. The good nattired discus-
sion caused quite a little fun around
headquarters in Washington street,
this morning.

Dramatic Club. ol the Town High
School. Scores a Big Success

 

"Bachelor Hall." a comedy in three
acts, was presented by the Senior Class
Dramatic Club of the Norwalk High

School in the assembly hull of the new
’l‘own illgh School building, last eve-
ning. The play was very comical and
kept the audience in one continuous
spell of laughter truth the. time the
cuiiitiu rose on the first act until it
fell on the last pct.

The play was staged under the per
sonal direction of the. well-known
amateur theatrical producer. Frederick
W. Hoyt, who deserves much credit
for the smooth manner in which tlu
play was carried through. Music lot
the occasion was furnished by tht
High School orchestra of eight pieces
under the direction of William Perry.
and was excellent. Every one of
those in the coat deserves a great
deal of credit for the clever way in
which they handled their parts, ea»
peclally Harry Lane, as the amateur
detective, and Thomas .l. Gilbert, as
the congressman. Much credit is also
due to the young ladies of the cast.
the Misses Martha Walkley. Laura
llusk. Dorothy Raymond and lielci
Thompson, for the trimmer in which
they handled their parts.

Owing to the inclement-y of the
weather the audience was not as large
as had been expected. but as the pin)
is to be presented again this evening.
a much larger crowd is looked for.

The affair was held for the purpose
of raising fluids for the graduation ex-
ercises which are to be held the ballet
part of June, and when all the re-
turns from the sale. of tickets are in.
it is expected that a neat sum will he

A reception to the ladies was ten-
derod by the members of Glisten Com-
mandery. No. 3, Knights Templur, last
evening, at their well appointed rooms
in the Masonic Temple in Wall street.
Considering the inclemency ot‘ the
weather, many members and their

ladies were present. which helped to
make this affair one of the best ever
given by the order.

The address of welcome was read
by Sir Knight E. E. Gorham, E. C.
On account of the illness-of Sir Knight
A. C. Wheeler's mother. he-could not
be present, and his place was taken
by Sir Knight Christian Swartz, P. G.
C. Last evening was the first time
that the fine new pipe organ was in
use. the organist being E. J. Sims.
Beautiful solos were rendered- -by Mrs.
E. J. Sims and Harry Sterling. which,
were greatly appreciated. Frank Sher-
man, the well-known versatile enter-
taiuer from the metropolis. was on
hand and amused those present im-
mensely with his funny stories and
good jokes. Last evening’s affair was
a big success socially and is one long
to be remembered by those who at-
tended At the conclusion of the enter-
tainment refreshments were served.

Final Action on the Mailer Not Talten
at Last Night's Mrcling

Though linal altion was not taken
last night by the Hat Trimmers' As-
sociationdn relation to the establish
Inst of a bill of price. for a $13.50
grade of but. similar to that turned
out in llanbury. the sentiment seclu-
ed to be in favor of the idea. The As-
sociation has never established a rate
for this grade of work and it was to
take this matter up that the meeting
was called for last night_

Owing to the storm last night, the
attendance was not so large so expect-
ed. and it was deemed best to defer
final action on the proposition to the
regular May meeting of the Associa-
tion. One reason for his action was
the fact that all of e departments
were not represented last evenlnrf'»
Mrs. Fannie J. Joyce. president of '
Association presided at the men
which was held in Central Labor .
ion Hall.

This step is considered a ve
taut one among the trade, i ifs-lb
as there have been a numbe rs-
qncsts in the past from manufacturers
to name a price for such kind of work.
A year or so ago it was claimed that
two New York manufacturers wanted
to establish factories here for the
manufacture of the cheaper grade of
hats. Prank Lemongelll' also wanted
'a price on the cheaper grades.

As yet the makers and finishers
have not taken any step in this direc
Lion. but it has been understood right
dong that this would be discussed in
the making up of the new bill of prices
in June The trimmers have felt that

 
 

to hurry the making a price for this
work. in that their .actlon would be
governed by what the men do about
the matter. Lending members of the
'l‘rimmers‘ Association have been con;
vinced that with the methods in

on the cheaper work in Daahury. it
would be well to follow a similar
course here.
