We print In another place the address
daliver-ad last week by Mr. Edmund
My at the meeting of fur hat manu-
facturers. It is worth careful reading
thoughtful consideration by both
players and employee. There is a
good deal of reading between the lines.
which we believe will appear to those
who can it carefully. The movement is
(a recognition of the mutual interests of
labor and capital. and is evidence of a
general desire for peace and harmony.
THE SHORE R030.
The aelectnieri. on petition.have called
a special town meeting Saturday after-
noon at 2 p.ni. to rescind or modify the
vote passed on the 12th of October. ap.
propriating $3000 for the building of the
shore road between the easterley end of
the Washington street bridge and the
northerly end of the Benedict Mill
bridge. Just what the petitioners desire
to accomplish does not appear. as under
the call the project can be abandoned or
be modified to such an extend as to have
practically the same efiect.
At the twomsctingswhich have been
held in relation to this matter there has
been no opposition to it. but since the
appropriation was made some have ex.
pressed the opinion that the amount is
more than the improvement warrants.
The amount is a maxiuin sum. and if
the work can be done for less the select.
men will use every means to that end.
But in order to make the road it good
onehit is proposed to raise the bed three
feet and build a stone wall on the outside
to'protcct it.other\vise it would be greatly
damaged by every easterly sun or. and
unless large sums were expended in re-
pairs would soon become iuipassable.and
the expense incurred in the improve.
ment would be useless.
No fair~niiuded person will question
the necessity for improving the
thoroughfare. It is used almost as much
asany road in the town outside of the
city and borough. and is the only direct
route to a large portion of East Norwalk
and all of l‘r‘llt‘tllt‘l Farm. It is ll<ctl
largely by people who have to walk to_aud
from their work. and is often in an iiii«
pascable and dangerous condition. When
passable. it H one of the pie-isaiitcst

.‘IIr ('liuirtiiiiii iuul (icuf‘i‘uicii:
I have been given an unsouglit foraiid
undesirable prominence in the preliiiiiii
aries of this meeting. because. in behalf
of the corporation which I represent. I
was the first to Sign the acceptance of
the invitation from the riqireseiitatives
of thiiI National Ilatters‘ Association to
form an organization of manufacturers.
For that reason I was asked to prepare ii.
call for this meeting. which 1 according—
Iy did. and the same was issued to the
manufacturers who signed tiic accep-
tance. as well as to those who have not
refused to do so. 1 have now been rc~
quested to explain. so far as I can. the
objects of this meeting. and what it is
hoped may be accomplished through its
action. The importance of the occasion.
and my anxiety that I may not be this-
understood. must be my apology for
putting what I have in say in writing.
To any one who “'1“ read the signs of
the times. it is plain that the labor ques-
tion in this country is assuming an int—
purtaiicc that brings it to the front of all
other questions. It is only necessary to
glance at the daily papers. with their
lengthy record of strikes. Iockouts. boy-
culling and violence. to see that the re~
Iiiiiiiiis between labor and capital are bi~
c lining iiiucli strained. and that there is
likely to result a condition of affairs
which will bring great, trouble and dis-
tress upon those who labor. and loss and
disaster to capital.
It is evident that the colitcsls between
the two are becoming more frequent. of
greater magnitude. and are productive
of more bitterncss of feeling than at any
previous period iii the history of the
countrv. It becomes the duty of every
good citiz ‘ll and. particularly. of those
who. from their situation. are liable to
become engaged in tlic conflict. to con-
Sltlt‘f Well the causes of these distun
banees. and whether or not there is a
remedy.
It is not probable that all will agree
upon either point. Prejudice will cloud
the vision. and self-interest will warp
the judgment of many. The bitterness
engctiilcrcil by many a fierce struggle for
mastery \\‘III prevent a fair consideration
of the rights. and cause distrust of the
motives. of former opponents.
All wdl probably admit that the prin~
cipal cause of the prevailing discontent
and uneasiness among the workers for
wages is their belief that they are not
receivinga fair proportion of the pro-
ducts of their labor; but there will be
that this belief is well founded. It is in-
disputable that the de ression in busi-
ness. no general throng out the world.
and of such prolonged duration. has re-
sulted in a depreciation of values which
has made neccessary in most industries
a reduction of wages. and in many iris
atanoea entire atopspge of production.
and in consequence eearnings of many
have been pitiably low, and numbers
have been reduced to the verge of stab
vation. At the same time it is probable
that the rewards of capital have been re-
duced in a greater proportion than those
of labor. and, in fact. have not infre-
quentl been entirely sup tossed. and a
heavy oar entailed. It is safe to say
that in many a factory. for the last two
or three years, the wheels have been
turned for the aole benefit of the work-
ers. while the owner has been content if
the end of the year found him in no
worse financial condition than the be-
ginning. Doubtlaaa there have been
many instances where the workmen have
pr most yigoroual against the
county rewards of their toil. and cursed
the injustice of capital. while they were
getting all and the employer nothing;
and doabthmtomthcrc have been many

and losses. which are sure to crime ; but
he cannot always appreciate the lit ces~
sities of his workmen and their anxieties
for the future of themselves and their
families. ‘
Whatever may be the cause of the pre-
vailing discr ntent of the workingmandt
is evident tl'at he is making every effort
in his power to im rovo his condition.
He is not. “shy.“ o is very “wide-
awake" and presses his claims with great
vigor. The work of organization has
gone on with unexampled rapidity of
late. Local organizations of thmeen-
(raged In the various trades and occupa-
tions have been formed. and these have
been united into nationai associations.
Central Labor Unions in the large cities
provide the means for comparing views
and affording mutual assistance. while
the Knights of Labor. with a member—
ship of hundreds of thousands. are assi-
duously engaged in establishing their
secret assemblies in every industrial celi-
tre throughout the country.and bringing
the wage~workers into one compact or-
ganization. governed by one central
power. and animated by a common pur-
pose. As nearly every one of the Iueui~
bers of these organizations is armed with
a ballot. his influence as a political fao~
for is potent. and this can be seen in the
resolutions of political conventions. III“
pledges of candidates, and the dictation
of legislation.
I do not propose to question the right
of labor thus to organize. and to use all
lawful and proper means to better its
Condition. On the contrary. I believe
that if the workiiigmaii can protect him-
self against injustice. improve his social
pecuniary condition. provide his family
with greater comforts. and make life
pleasanter for them. or that if he be-
lieves he can do so by such organization.

ion that shall be satisfactory and hind.

Let us now turn our attention from
the general aspect of the question to the
situation of affairs in our own tiiidc.
.‘\lllI here we shall find the saun- causes
at work. with the same resulting cunili»
lions. It is plainly evident that. for
some time past. the \\’I'l’k'llt‘ll iii ulll‘

undeniable that taking into account the
dull scasons. when the \\‘orkiiuii has but
little to do. his gross earnings have been
lllSlIIlli‘lt‘lll to provide him With the
comforts of life. t i which Ilt' feels that
lie is entitled. -\t the same time the
margin of profit to the inanufuciiircr. if
anything. has not been suilicicnt to
make him anxious about investing his
surplus. This condition of things is. of
course. largely due to the general indiis~
trial and business depression. from the
effects of which it is not reasonable to
expect that our trade should be exempt.
Iti comparison with most industries.
however. it is probable that the hat
trade has suffered less than the average
from this depression. and that the earn-
"le in the workmen and the prolifs of
theiiianiifiictnrer in our business. dur-
ing this period of stagnation. have been
greater than in most of the other iiiilus~
tries of the country. This is owing, in it
great measure. to the. fact that the coii~
dilions of our business are suclias to
render it iiiipossililo to accuiiiiilafc a
stock of manufactured goods. without
the certainin of loss. Consequently
iiiaiiufiicturing is confined to orders. and
\\'Illlt‘ the prices have licczi HITt‘CII‘II by
fierce competition. prompted by the dc»
sire of each manufacturcr to do his full
share of a business which is instiil‘icwiit
for all. still they have not been depress-
ed below the cost of V rodtiction by forc-
ed sales of accumulated stocks. Not-
withstanding this safeguard. however.
the tendency of prices for our products
has been constantly downward until they
have reached a point without parallel.
probably. in the recollection of the old-
~«targets-rain in the business. I am satisfi-
ed that but a small proportion of this
decline in prices has been met by a cor.
responding reduction in wages. I know
it to be a fact in my own experience that
the cost of labor in proportion to the
selling price of the manufactured pro-
ducts. is much greater to~day than at
former periods where labor has felt that
it was fairly compensated. and I have
no reason to believe that this experience
is exceptional.
Be this as it may. it is evident that
the journeyman batters of today are
not satisfied with their earnings, and
they are intent upon increasing them.
It is lain to their minds that this can
only accomplished through organiza
tion and agitation, and if needs be,
coercive measures. and they do not hesi-
tale in applying the necessary means.
Perceiving that independent shops, with
their facilities for supplying labor in
t abundance, and often at low
52:29.. are a constant barrier to the
accomplishment of their pu they
propose to bring them under their con~
trol, by inducing those employed in
them to join their organization, or. fail~
ing in that. to prevent the sale of their
products in the market. Unmindful
of former failures, they approach the
contest with fresh courage, stimulated
by the changed condition of affairs.
which enables them to bring to their aid
the organized labor of the country. As
an evidence of "their purpose. and as a
means for its accomplishment. we see
the adoption of a "Union label," to be,
placed in the hat- of all manufacturers
who employ union labor, by which such

ful if it would have any atandingih law.
which would entitle it to protection
against imitation. .
. But it is apparent that there are wise
heads among these journeymen. who
perceive the advantage of gaining; their
end by ceable means. rather. than
attempting it by forcible measures which
unulit end in disaster. and they have had
sufficient influence with their associates
to bring them to acquiesce ini their
views. and. consequently. we find them
pausmi: in their compulsory schemes
and offering us the olive branch in the
shape of the invitation which has
brought us together here today.
I will venture to say that the situation
in which we find ourselves is without
precedent in this or any other country.
For the workingmcn in ii trade to ask
their employers to organize themselves
into an association is a fact so surprising
that We may well question its signifh
canoe. The fact itself seems to me to
place the sincerity of the journeyman
beyond all doubt; for labor is naturally
distrustfitl of organized capital. and they
i‘illlnot be unconscious (if the powcr
which such an organization will give us:
and it also shows their confidence that
power \\‘llI not be unjustly used against
them. They are entitled to equal szn~
cerity and the same confidence on our
part. '
\\'hat then does this invitation mean?
It means. as lundcrstaiid it. that the
jouriieymeu believe it is for the best
interests of both parties that they and
we should live in peace and Immunity
together. and that by mutual iiitcr~
change of views. and by concert of
action. it is possible to improve tlu‘ cone

\\’hy should hats sell today for prices
which aflord inadequate returns to both
labor and capital? The answer may be
found in one word—competition. Aside
from that there is no reason why the
prices for bats should not be materially
advanced with benefit to all parties
engaged in the business. The jobber
and the retailer will not. object. because
higher prices mean larger sales and
corresponding profits. and a difference
which would materiallv add to the
profits of all would ban ly be aiproch
able to the consumer. \\‘e need have
no fear of ftlrclizll Competition. because
whether the tariff will close our market
to foreign manufacturers or not. the
conditions which surround the purchase
and sale of hats in this country are such
as to exclude the products of other
countries to any dangerous extent. In
this respect our situation is exceptional.
\\‘e have no foreign trade to lose. and
shall not have any until our materials
and labor cost no iiioretliciii in Europe. a
condition of affairs which \vill exist only

ourselves against ruinous coiiipefitioli
by scctiriiig the business for a time to
those who are now engaged in it. there
will be no difficulty in advancing prices
for goods. so that higher wages can be
paid. and larger profits secured. The
manufacturer \\'ill be hard to find who
in his employ. and be willing to geiicr~

uf‘iiiilepciidc idcr such circiiiih
stances. tlicii ages of an itiilcpcii~
ilciit shop are not sufficient to \\‘;u‘rant
the cost of the struggle to maintain it.
I believe that an independent shop.
under the control of a just man—as pa
protest against. tyranny and wrong—is
a good thing : but when used to degrade
labor and deprive it of its just rewards.
it becomes a curse rather than a bless
inc.
In my opinion. the great danger we
have to fear to-day is the starting of
independent shops by men without
conscience. WI10\\‘III care nothing for
the welfare and comfort of the their in
their employ. and whose only anxtety
will be that they may hire labor on the
cheapest terms possible and thus under-
sell the market. and at the same time
reap a good profit. Against such a
competition in the present condition of
affairs there is no remedy. Happily for
the trade. there are few such men in it ;
and in the present centres of the trade.
except where there is an abundance of
cheap unemployed labor, such compel.»
tion is impossible ; but there is nothing
in the present situation to prevent the
class of men of whom I speak from
employing cheap labor in localities
where it is abundant. and taking the
business away from those who are- now
doing it. This is a matter which very
seriously concerns us all. and demands
outearnest consideration. If =iti were
possible through the proposed organiza~
tion. and concert of action to prevent
such injurious competition. surely the
benefit. to the trade would be immense.
Is the pro scheme practicable?
While for years I have appreciated the
advisability of harmonious agreement
and concerted action between employers
and workmen. until within a few
months I have had but slight hopes of
its attainment : but in view of the pre-
sent situation of affairs. and particularly
of recent developments in the field of
labor. I am confident that it only re~
quires courage and determination on
our part to make sinuses certain, with
all its attending benefits. The journey-
men have shown their confidence by
aakingus to come together. and have
themselves meet us in spirit
of conciliation and ray, thus to
