.The most most gratifying reports
received in a very long time are those
recently submitted by the agents of
the United Hatters' of North America,
who tour the country advertising the
union label. The reports have been re-
cently submitted .to the otllcers of the
hatters' organization and are prob-
ably the most satisfactory ever re-
ceived. .

The agents, stated President John
W. Sculley..ot Monroe street, this city.
today. report great success in promos-
ing the sale of hats made by union
labor amongsthe dealers in the west-
ern states; This means that the local
and other- union factories within a .
short time'will begin to enjoy the ad-
vantages ot this action on the part of
western dealers. -

The reports of the union agents are
more successful than usual, and Nor-
walk batters are confident of a boom
in batting circles within a short time.
