The situation among the striking hatters
at South Norwalk is unchanged. Crowds of
idle hatters continue to parade the streets.
surround the hotels and watch incoming
trains from New York. Three men who
arrived on the IL. Is train this noon were met
by Crofut and Knapp, proprietors of two
shops, and with the assistance of five police
men started for the shops. They were fol-
lowed by about 500 men belonging to the
union. Cheers were given for the new
arrivals by a crowd of outside friends as they
alighted from the train. During the march
to the shops wild epithets were indulged in
hy the union, but the visitors were unmolest-
ed. The proprietors of all the shops in the
city remain firm to adhere to reduced prices,
and declare that henceforth no union men
shall again enter their shops.
Crowds of striking hatters still hang around
South Norwalk depot watching all incoming
trains from New York. They form them
selves in line each side of the track to spot
hatters from abroad. OF the five that arrived
today four returned home. The strikers have
formed cooperative hat manufacturing
association, TO which over 5000 have been
subscribed here. They have purchased lot
and building is soon to be erected. The
strikers are peacesble and seem determined
to hold out and compel the bosses to surren-
der. No violence is anticipated.

The deck and topsails of the Greyhound were
projected in the air and the hull buried deep
in the water.
