on by the procuration of certain wick-

the knowledge of the innocent sugar
chiefs—comes in fuel. as the greatest
surprise to them. What wonderful de-

these profitable plans and labors, did
not even know anything about the

THINGS LOOK BRIGHTER.
Said to be Fair Chance of Conference
in Prospect.
Danbury News. Monday. I
There was apparent today anion-.2
some of those who are in close touch
with affairs In connection with the hut-
tIng fieup. a feeling of hopefulncss that
the and of the trouble. so far as the
Danbury and Bethol districts are con-
cerned, may not be far away. This recl-
ing was based apparently upon the im-
llcf that material progress had llt't'll
made toward bringing together rcprc»
sentatlves of the local manufacturers
and unions for a conference.
The only statement given out today
bearing upon this phase of the situa-
tion, was from the Rev. Father Kon-
ncdy, who, speaking as a member of
the local citizens' committee, said:
“You may quote me as saying as a
member of the committee thatthero Is
a fair prospect of a conference be-
tween ihc hat manufacturers of Dan-
bury. Betliel and New Milford, and the
United Hatters of North America."
Father Kennedy said that this state-
ment was made. for the Information of
the public. which Is so deeply interest-
ed In everything pertaining to the.
adjustment of the difficulty. nudi
that he did not consider If. wise fol
say anything further at the present!
time. '
The statement by Father Kennedy;
indicates that the movement toward an
adjustment of the difficulty is to be a.
local one. and is In line with the, pre-
viously expressed Idea that Daubnry
and the other towns In the local dis-
trict must prdcticslly make their Own
solution of the problems presented In
tho tleup.
As to what had been accomplished
since saturday in the way of progress
toward bringing about a Ioctil confer.
ence. nobody in authority cared to say
today, Intimatlng that It was consid.
ered unwise to hold out too strong
hopes of an early adjustment of the
difficulty until matters had progressed
further than they had up to the pres-
out time.
Martin Lawlor. national secretary of
the United Hatters; and James P. Mah-
er, national secretary arrived in town.
Saturday evening, and. by engagement,
met with Rev. Dr. Walter J. Shanley.
with whom they were In conference
for some time. Both Dr. Shaniey and
Mr. Maker declined today to say any-
thing about the meeting. ‘
Yesterday Messrs. Maher and Law-
lor met with the executive boards of
the Danbury and Bethe] local trade as-
sociations In a lengthy conference.
Members of the executive board said
today that an statement in regard to
the meeting should com from the na-
tional omcsrs. Mr. M her. who rc~
malned in town today. said that he
did not deem it advisable to say any-
thing fnr publication. and said that he
preferred to be excused from talking
at present about the probabilities of an
adjustment.
An officer of the local association of
manufacturers said today that there
was nothing to be said by his his and
that so far as he knew, the s tuatlon
remained unchanged.
Reports from the other districts In-
dicate that everything is quiet there.
in Boston today, the case of the Asso~
elated Hat Manufacturers against
Lamson 8: Hubbard. growing out of
the withdrawal of that concern from
the association early in the present
difficulty was scheduled for a hearing
In the United states circuit court for
that district.
(Today’s Daily Trade Record.)
Argument Heard on Osman-er Filed
by Lawson d. Hubbard to Injunction
Proceeding. of Associated Hat Manu-
fscturom—Argument was concluded
by both sides in the United States Cir!
cult court, yesterday, on the demurrer
filed by Lamson and Hubbard against
the Injunction brought by the Associat-
ed Hat Manufacturers to restrpin the
defendants from using the nnlbn label.
Judge Colt took the case under ad-
visement to allow time for the flag of
briefs. etc. ..COunIel for the defend-
ants contended that no corporation
could trandfer to another corporation
0 power to control Its intimate work-
ings which belong only to its own offl-
cars.
The litigation dates back to the be-
ning of March. when the Associated
, to Manufacturers asked for an In-
junction restraining unison and Hub-
bard from using 2 a label of the Unit-
cd Hatters of No to America, on the
ground that they hsd‘formcd s ‘new
corporation, to which the assets of s_
formcr‘bomps‘ny of the some nuns he
been transferred. to relieve the firm 0
its liability on a bond of ”5.000. which
nhhod to sold. by
them so:
and decisions of the Manufacturers‘
Association.
Although It was expected that «he
continued reduced benefits paid to the
strikers on Saturday would cause a de-
sertion in their ranks, and the return
of some men to htclr work, It was re-
ported In Orange that only one Iii-
stauce of such action had occurred.
From South Norwulk comes the re
port that negotiations are under way
for the establishment of a new factory
in that district for the manufacture of
a. $13.50 grade of hilt-i. it is rumored
that the proposed concern desires to
locate In the former Volk factory in
Raymond street.
Confidence has been expressed Inl
Danbury that a conference between
the manufacturers of Danbury, Betbel :
and New Milford and the United Hst- '
tors will be arranged shortly. probably
as a preliminary slop to arbitration of
the questions involved In the strike.
The case of I). la. Mews & Co. vs. the
United flutters, which had been as-1

THE LITTLE BOY.
The little boy whom you forget
To play with when the days are fair.
The child whose hopes are sliiless yet.
Who kneels to lisp his t-ye'uiug
prayer.
Will soon leave off his childish ways
And learn the things that men must
learn;
Why do you waste the glorious days
That never, never can return."
You never lead him by the hand,
Nor make his little joys your own;
Ambition sends you her command.
And be Is left to play alone;
He never climbs upon your knee
Delighted at the long day‘s end.
To find that you have time to be
His food and sympathetic friend.
You never can afford to waste
A precious hour amusing him:
The prizes after which you haste
Are always far away and dim;
You must be ever pressing on.
Forgetting while you strive and plan,
How soon his childhood will be gone.
How quickly he will be a man.
You never pause with him to hear
The breeze that sings among the
reeds.
You have no time to give the dear,
Sweet sympathy for which he, pleads;
You never rush with him in wild
Pursuit of fairies through the glen.
Yourself again a careless child,
Freed from the cares that worry men.
Have you no treasured memories
0f one who gladly played with you,
Before you have been robbed of ease.
And when your cores were small and
few? ‘
Ah. will you rob him of the joy
Of looking back along the years
When he. has ceased to be a boy
and duty's call rings in his ears?
The little boy whom you forget
To play with when the days are fair,
The child whose thoughts are siniess
76$.
Who kneels to lisp his evening
prayer. .
Will soon leave off his childish ways.
And you will sit somewhere alone
Regrettlng precious wasted day
And joys that might have been your
own. .
