THE TRIAL.
Y.-sterday Hana Burchanlt was before
J udge Ely charged with assault and bats
tery. breach of the peace. and intimidab
mg Charles “lease. to compel him to ab-
stain from furnishing board and lodging
to certain batters. The case grew out of
a second call of Mr. Weege upon the city
authorities for protection from Burchardt
and others. who. he claimed. abused
threatened him for boarding and
“foul" button. City Attorney Li ap-
peared for the State and John 8. Say-
mour for the accused. Mr. Seymour de-
mon-ed to the count charging intimida-
tiou. which run overruled.
The first witness for the State was Mr.
eego. who teamed that Burchardt
visucd his place about three weeks ago.
and told him he must not keep those
batten: alto week before last. when he
told high that be If" the only Gin-man
foul batters. and it wasn‘t
right for hi: to don). At this point obs

would make the reductions 'much larger.
It would make the reduction in some
cases as high as 40 or 60p" cent. We
have no security that this will not be ens
forced. ’ 7
In the present depression of trade
everywhere a moderate reduction would
have been accepted by the liatters. if it
had been offered in the proper manner.
and with the intention of placing the
goods on the market. at lower irices.
But the bill was put up in the di erent
factories with scarcely a word of explw
nation except that some of the manufac~
turers stated. "that they had not made
anything in three years and that they
were going to make money now.“ \\'e
are assured by the firms not belonging
to this combination. as well as by some
of the most prominent of New York
houses. that no reduction is called for as
prit‘es will rule the same as [N fore. if
not higher.
Some very remarkable statements
have been published by the members of
the combination. In the first place they
assert that prices in llanbury are lower
than here. \\'e are prepared_to prove that
the reverse is the case. except. in one
factory here. where the goods are much
liner than anything produced in Dans
bury. \\‘e deny further. that any of our
associations ever “forced" a shop‘s crew
to “demand“ any prices from a manu~
facturcr. Each shop has for many years
iiiled its own prices. but we have so far
declined to make contracts for any
length of time. \Ve further declare as
utterly untrue their statement as to the
wages made here by batters. After close
investigation we find that lllllkt rs have
no! averaged :Hllil. tinisliers $450. triin~
iiiers $330. and curlers—the best paid
class. except in one factory—more than
$700 during the last year. These are
liberal figures. and rather above than be—
lmv the real aiuounta.
The reduction unheard of in the an-
nals of the trade. is not. liowmer. the
worst feature of the existing trouble.
The combit‘iation has expressed its deter-
mination to destroy our trades unions.
while stoutly maintaining the privi-
lege of having one of their own. They
moreover propose to compel “submis-
sion" now and in the future by a system
of blacklisting. that is of preventing a
permit discharged from or leaving any
factory from finding employment in
another. In fact. they propose. as one
of their number very frankly declared.
"to run the batting business on the plan
of cotton and woolen iiiills. They have.
it is chargedairged employers in other ills
iliistries to assist them by also reducing
their employees. This will be closely in-
vestitzati-d. and should the facts appear
as now charged. they will in due time be
given to the public.
It is needbss to say. that the batters
will resist this nelarioiis and utterly tlii~
provoked aggression on the part of this
"unholy alliance" to the bitter end. \Ve
claim that we are entitled to the sympa-
thy and aid of the t'lll'lo‘llrl of Norwalk

was forced to pay so large an advance
for the labor all through his factory.
that it drove this portion of his business
i'lttll‘cl)’ away from him. Another man-
i-ifav‘turel‘ was made to pay an advance
of 15 per cent. on the price of a large
portion of his finishing. An appeal by
hint to the "union" brought 110 re ief. In
another factory the curlers. at a time
when their average weekly wage: Wore
$23. demanded an advance of ‘35 per cent.
on a large part of the Work done in the
shop. An appeal to the union in this
case also brought no relief aiiibtlie de-
inand was successfully resisted only by
the employers threatening to Ulllnt‘ their
factory. and making evident preparations
to do so. In each of these cases the in—
crease demanded was an addition to the
regular price paid in other shops forthe
same Work. Tllt‘h‘t‘t‘flh‘t‘s. we believe. will
be aulficicnt to satisfy the public of the
necessity for our first claim. “'as there
auv need that we should demand prices
aslow as those paid in other places? This
has for yearn been well known among
’hatters asthc place where the highest
wages were ‘d. No man at all ac~
quaintred wit the facts doubts or will
dispute this. The hold of the "trade“
on the manufacturers in this city has
been so strong that they have been able
by “regulating" each shop by itself to
force wages up to a point We could no
longer aubniit to. One of our number
has for some. years paid one dollar a
dozen more for finishing a certain but
than has been paid by any other lar re
sho in the Country for the same wor .
An this particular case. we understand.
our late emplpyes are. citing an an exam-
ilc of our executive and unjust reduction
in wages. In making up our new bill
of prices. in order that we might do no
in‘ustice to our workmen. we visited
0 erlucea. obtained lists of prices paid
in other trade shops. examined the qual-
ity of the work done in them. and after
careful deliberation made a bill of prices
which is as high as is paid in other
"trade“ shops for the same work. and as
high and in some cases even much
higher than we ourselves paid in 1879.
when the cost (if/living was very much
greater than it in now. A: to the effect
which the change made by our new bill
of prices will have on the earnings of
our workmen, we will say that the reduc-
tion does not exceed 10 r cent. on any
of the principal items 0 work done in
my of our interns, and an examination
made by us uhowa that if the work done
.inallourfactoriea the post season had
beonpaidforundertheuewbill the re-
duction would~ luv. amounted to an
average one of low than 10 per cent.
That we have not been in tho habits;
M3011 wages is evidenced
many comfortable home- vhidi are
of men who» almost every

not). blesses. Cmfnt « Knapp. durin
the year ending July 1. 1884.1iaid to 80
their siren an average of $1.030. to 9
finishers an average $1.173. toS trimmers
an average of 3636. amino 7 curlers an
average of 81.820; and these were not
the bands who earned the highest
wages per week. but those who had
worked steadilv the year through. That
workmen earning such wages could sub—
mit to a reduction of 10 ier cent. with»
out being tau rized is evident.
A eircu ar gills been ex‘tensively dis~
tributed by the strikers. This document
interests us only in so far as it attempt:
to give our old as contrasted with our
new prices. In this respect the best we
can sav of it is that it is a miserable fiiil~
ure. t gives no information to the pub-
lic. and its calculated twi‘centages of re~
duetion are nearly every one of them
grossly false. In this connection we beg
to say that a large rethiet'ion in the
price of any kind of labor is not neces»
sarily an iii'iistice to the workman. if
the reducei price is equal to the market
price for that kind of work there is no
injustice. "Plus will. we assert. be found
to be the case in every instaiico where
our new bill shows a large reduction from
tho old one.
Was it necessary we should demand of
our workmcn that they Iliould work un-
der 3 bill of prices fixed for the season ?
This has been the practice in Danbury
and other but towns. and the iiianiifac~
turers in those places have thus lh‘t‘ll able
to make calculations as to prospective
prot‘its, For years there was often an
"understanding" to this effect. between
the workmen and the employers in this
city. but we believe it wan never here as
elsewhere made part of a written bill of
prices and thus binding on new comers.
This understanding was often violated
by tho workmen. and in many caries a
large portion of the profits due the
manufacturers. was swept into the pock-
cts of the Wutbuifu by a otriko when the
employer was full of orders and could
not nflord obstruction and delay. In
the only one of our shops where the fin—
isheis accepted the new bill with the
“understanding" that it should continue
in force for the season. some of the
workmen openly stated their intention
to strike for
business was good.
The new bill of prices was offered to
the \vorkiiien in our several factories.
and when it was oll'rrcd they were
distinctly told that all work Ill"ll on
band would bo flniuln-il at the old prices;
and that the new bill was to gu'llilii
etl’vct only on orders for spring “ii in

under conditions degrading to “S and
which rendered success impossible, we
took the only Step really open to us. that
of making our factories for the future
entirely independent of all “trade" rules
and regulations. “'c wish our position in
this matter to be clearly understood. We
make no \‘ar upon any trade society or
order. “'e refuse to employ no man be-
cause of his im-nibcrsliip in any trade or-
ganization. “We simply deny the right
of any society to further control and in-
jure our business. Our factories are open
to any man orwoman capable of doing
our work and willing to do it at prices
we can afford to pay and under the condi-
tions and rules we choose to make.
From the time this determination of
ours was announced to the present time
the attitude of our late employees towards
us is pretty well undeniiood by the pub-
lic. ludiguautly claiming that the prices
otl‘ered by us meant starvation to them
they have publicly proclaimed the false
hood of their position by making every
effort in their powur to prevent us from
obtaining other workmen to do our work.
hundreds of whom are eager to do so and
are only kept may from us by the
threats and iiiiiiiiidations of the strikers.
The few men who had the courage to
assert their right to work for wages sat-
isfactory to them and who remained in
our service. have. been subjected to con-
stant insults and annoyance. In the mid-
dle of the night the house of one of these
men was stoned. his windows and doors
broken, and a cowardly threat left on his
treatises written in the French language.
he strikers deny all participation in this
outrage and we will give them the public
benefit of the only circumstance known
to us that gives color to their denial
which is that we believe but one of their
number knows enough of the French
write it correctly. In their
efforts to shut as out from the labor
