¢. bwmum h fluidly at Lee run-m- Iii-1 Because of the discharge or two employes of one of the making de- partments of the factory of the Frank H. Lee 00.. Danbus-y. and a. demand for their reinstatement, which has been met with refusal by the com- pany. work in that department is at I standstill. At present the difficulty is confined to the "line hat" depart. ment of the factory and about eighty men are involved. There is hope that the trouble will be adjusted before the entire shop. employing about 800 people, is effected by it, but early thin afternoon the situation remained mummified. The difficulty originated on Friday utter-noon when two employes of the department of the factory involved were discharged by the foreman of the department, the foreman claim- ing that their work was below the re- quired standard. The union officers have not made any formal statement about the details of the matters, but It. is understood that the discharged men took the matter up with the shop‘s committee claiming that the stock in the hats was below grade and that they were unable to “work up” the hats for this reason. The shap's committee took the question up with all the employes of the de- partment with the result that the lo- cal officers of the union were called in in an effort to setti_e the matter. . The officers asked the foreman of . the department to put the men back to work. This the foreman refused to do and the crew in the department in which the discharged men were employed voted to ston work until the men were rc-instoted. The matter was taken to Frank ll. Lee. president of the Lee company. and Mr. Lee told the men that the question of tak- ing back the discharged employes was up to the foreman who discharged them and that he would not act in the matter contrary to the wishes of the foreman. A meeting of the shop‘s crew was heJd in Knights of Pythias hall Sal.- urday afternoon. The meeting was of nearly four hours' duration and al- though the officers of the union Would not give out for publication any- thing that transpired at the meeting. it is said that the men voted almost unanimously not to go back to work unless both of the men were taken back. . Jeremiah Scully. prcsident of the Hat Makers' association .was asked today for a statement regarding tho position of the union in regard to the discharge of the men. Mr. Sculiy said that he had no statement to make regarding tho trouble. Another meeting of the shop's crew will possibly be bold in K. of l”. hall to further consider the matter. When asked for a statement this morning Frank H. Lee. president of the Lee company said: “There ‘ls nothing very much for me to say ro- gurding the troublc in the making do— nurtment of our factory. I under- stood that the foreman of the depart- ment. found thut the men did not do their’ work satisfactorily :ind there- fore discharged them. it seems to me as though the foreman should have a right to do this. You can say pos- tlvcly. however. that as 10m,r as the foreman insists that these two men are not competent workmen. they will not be employed by this firm again.” When askcd about the possibility of serious trouble over the stand tak- en by the firm, Mr. Lee said: “If there is any trouble it will not be caused by our concern. I do not know what the men In the making depart- ' moot will do in the matter, but I be- lieve that we should have the right ‘to discharge any man in our employ if his work is not up to the stand- ard." Mr. Lee said that he hoped trouble would be amic"“’.' settled. but that the m"r f ‘0“...2'gcd would not be taken luck if the foreman insists that their work is not up to the required standard. National President John W. Scully and National Sspretary-Treasurer the , Martin Lawlor, of the United Hatters of North America, are in Danbury today in connection with other mut- ters in the trade. and both the offic- ers said that they had not been om- cially consulted about the ltmdhle at the Lee factory regarding the dis- charge of the two men and the stop- page of work in this department. “I do not want to see any trouble," ,said National President Soully. this morning, “end you may be sure that uif the national officers are called in about the matter. they will do every— thing possible to avoid serious trou- hie."
