Mint We Do Not Want.

We do not want an unprospcrous
community or-u low standard of living.
or an undesirable tins. of workers. or
any unfair advantage over our em.
ploycs or unfriendly relations with
,lhose einploycs.. To iliakc such dis-
claimers would be ridiculous if we had
not all of outward absurd criticisms
artdcliurgas directed asainst us. Such
misrepresentations make dlfiitnlt any
proper consideration of the merits of
an industrial dispute.

What We Want and What the Town
. Needs.

We. want personalities and discus-
sion of trivial details eliminated. 8')
that this disastrous tieup may end in a
reasonable“, ln'ipersonal, permanent sot-
tlcnicnt of relations between enmloy~
cm and employed.

We want a prosperous industrial
community, surely, it slowly, regaining
its old position in the leadership in tho
batting industry, by tho recovery of its
former superior efficiencywthc only
sound basis of prosperity.

We want freedom in dovelopinu
something like our old power to meet
competition, by building up an ode»
quote force of really skilled workmen.
receiving high “ones because they
earn more than batters elsewhere, and
increasing their efficiency by using ni-
wuys the best machinery and methods.

We want public recognition of the
real character of the old union labelm
of the fact that it was not mount. as

if the label had stood, as it could

represented a iuomipoly, harmful to the

than the most shiftlcss of the trade,

We want complete public recognition
of the fully of believing‘tbat the “tail
can wag the dog." Dnnbury cannot
control the batting industry. This town
has not the monopoly of skill it coco
had. is not the largest producing ccn~
tor, does not turn out the most profit-
nhle grade of hats. cannot claim freo-
door to develop new methods. ought
not to delude itself longer with the no-
tion that it still holds that position of
leadership which it once had.

Common sense and colonic" honesty
call for honest self-examination. While
radical leddcrs, with the li‘rcsprmslhle
element. in unions. have steadily re-
strained Danbury factories from mnk~
lug progress (unless backwards), thoro-
havc been developed such non-union
competitors. splendidly equipped, as
‘Stctson, Roclofs. Hendel, Alexander.
‘Knox, Waring, Marshall, Mundhcim

and have planted. vegetables. Yet all
still have faith in the promises of the
national union and link forward hope»
fully to “full benefits next week."
There hare been some stone-throwing
and fighting, but the strikers in gen
eral have been peacoablc thus far.
though it, is feared that hunger may
cousc- some outbreaks unless the
strike. is settled or broken before long.

The women folk of the manufactur-
ers, whenever they ride on the street
cars. have a chance to hear the oppo-
site side of the argument from that
they listen to in their homes. All the
members of the "houses' " families are
known, and so soon as one of them
gels in a puhb'c conveyance at least
two strikers cllin‘b alionrti. also Illd
uudlhly set forth their views as to
their rights and wrongs.

The steady increase in the. output,
of the factories does not offer much
encouragement. for the striking hat-
tors. It is conservatively estimated
that dill) nun-union men and women
are working in tho places of the 2.000
a'trikers in the (irnnge Valley. Every

Several of‘the manufacturers have

Outside the factories in Orange, N.

are being made to operate without the

the factories there are all idle and do

000 union lllI'Il huie been iilll since
the thin of last January.

The trouble among' the liatinakcrs
dates back several years. It started
at l‘ianbury. Conn. The I). Loewe ('oiii‘
pally there is a non-union concern.
The union made a strong fight against
it and n boycott was dcclarnd against
its output. So strenuous wvre thc
sli'lkm‘s' efforts that the Loewe (‘om-
puny sought relief in the Connecticut

,der an almost obsolete state. law.
which made not only the officers of
any union. but all its members. individ-
ually and collectively, liable for any
damage that an employer might nus
lain from any strike or boycott or oth-
er lnln'iicul action of that sort. The
Connecticut courts upheld this law,
and the. case was carried to the Su~
promo Court of the United Sixties. Thai
body not only uphold the state law.
but also declared the boycott to be a
violation of the Sherman Anti-trust
law.

This decision meant ruin for the
thousands who were members of the.
union. A nmJority of those operatives
owned their own homes or had savings
bank accounts. Under this law these
possessions could be attached and sold
for the. benefit of the employing com-
]nny to compensate ii for damages
sustained. it was the most crushing
and appalling decision ever made
against a labor organization in that
great. industrial state. it made it a
perilous matter for any. man with a
dollar to be a member of a union in
Connecticut. The present strike is a
reflection of the old trouble, and both
sides have announced that they are
in it to the death. Each said when
it began: "The ilght is bound to
come. and we might as well have it
now."

While. the conflict is for the union
label. which involves about 40 per
cent. of the hats that are" worn today.
it began over a dispute about a matter
that was entirely foreign to that bit of
taper. 'l‘he Gnyer Hat Company of
Boston was a union shop. it bad a
large. factory in lloston and a small
annex in Philadelphia. A list of prices
to be paid the Boston employes was
agreed upon by all concerned on tile
lot, of June. of last year. and the core
tract was signed to run for twelve
months This agreement stated that

lfoston plant. Another rate of wages
was agreed on for the Philadelphia
plant. The Philadelphia rate wns much
lower.

Philadelphia it is fifty cents. “Set-
any" stiff hats in sixt ~ilvé’ cents a
dozen in the former page and fifty
cents in the latter, th“ long after
tlie_Guyer company had‘ signed in:
‘v‘vage scale for Boston it moved its
plant in that city to ruliade‘ipnta,
Hands and: cu. and put them on the
.basls of the lower Philadelphiascale.
The (layer company declared that the
union knew that this,trnn‘sfer was
contemplated when the contract was
made. and that the Words “in Boston:
appear in the list of prices agrecd'oh.

When the plant had been removed
the national officers of the United Hat-
