in a second direction Senator Bis-

to make. He wanted to know why
the $30,000 cash balance which it was
said the county treasurer held was
not included in the. estimates as part
of the county account. He insisted
that such absence was contrary to
business principles and he believed
the time had come to make a change.

Conference of. Danbury
Manufacturers and Kat-
ters’ Officers Without
Definite Result -

t

 

DANBURY, May tor—Yesterday af~
ternoon's conference between the hat
manufacturers and hatters‘ officers
on the new wage scales for sizing

and finishing in the local factories,

frontier the jurisdiction of the United
Hatters, terminated without an agree-
ment being reached in regard to the
new prices. This afternoon both the
manufacturers and hatters' officers
hold separate meetings to consider

another meeting will be arranged to
day in a further effort to reach price-
agrecmems. although no definite
statemtmt to that effect has been
made. . ,

Neither the manufacturers nor hal-
ters' ofiicers deemed it advisable to-
day to make any statement in rela-
tion to the efforts they have made to
reach a settlement.

it is reported in batting circles
that at yesterday's conference the
manufacttlrers‘proposed a flat wage
increase ”of ten cents a dozen for
both stiff and soft sizing and finish-
:lng.‘2 The new bills of prices, ospre-
sented by. the batters ,ask for ten
cents‘ advance a dozen for soft siz~
log and finishing .and from ten per
cent. to fifteen per cent. for stilt hat
sizing and finishing.

it is said that? the manufacturers
desire to make prices on specified
grades rather than on the selling
prices of- the hats. but neither side
would confirm our deny that point to-
day. it is understood that the hat-
ters‘ officers insist on making the
bills of prices on .lhe selling prices of
the hats.

President Soully and Secretary
barrier, of the United Hatters, are.
still in town, and this afternoon con-
ferred with theiofilceis of the local
lintters‘ associations.
