Norwalk was startled this morning
by the rumor that the Nor-walk Mills

when the story was investigated. it
was found that this is not to be the
case. The factory, however. may
make a temporary close. lnlt Superin-
tendent, Louis A. Anderson said that
it will not. he at the most, for any tre-l
mentions length of time. and that the»
shut-down may not occur at all. All
will depend llpon the conditions.
The tall] at present and for the past
six months has been running ill hard
luck. The entire trouble is due to the
agitation of the wool tariff. and makes
the wholesalers cautious about purch—
asing, for they think that, wool will be
cheaper inter. and are waiting for that
time. The factories simply cannot get
the wholesalers interested.

Last fall ill Chicago. it will he remem-
bered that there, was a big strike. which
affected the local factory. This mill
was working entirely for the place in
in Chicago where the strike occurred
and this naturally altered conditions
here.
Even now there is butllttle business
and this is being finished up. it will
probably consume the time between
now and the first of July. and then,
unless the conditions warrant the mill
remaining open. it .Mlli’ temporarily
close down. However, there is just as
likelyto be all influx of orders. which
will keep the factory going. as there is
a likelihood that there will not be. so
the management ls eagerly awaiting
for the time to come, for time alone
will decide whether the mill shall
close at all or not.

The town board of estimate and tax-

'and talked considerably, made several
and completed the

has been working on the $200 that
Stewart H. Elliott. of Norwalk, gave
the selectmen f0r the purpose. The
$100 will probably complete the work.
A committee. James A. Brown, Fer-
