Danburyss Big Strike Inaugurated-I
Mine Thousand Out Of Work-Cas- |
ualties and Other Notes.
DANBURY, Nov. 1.-THE strike of the |
fur hat trimmers went into effect this
morning and not a hat factory in this place
opened to-day. There is much talking on
the street, some supporting the trimmers,
others berating their action. About 5000
people are thrown out of work, most of
them men with families, and if the strike
is prolonged much suffering will ensue.
It is thought here that unless the strike
is quickly settled the trimmers will not
receive the support of the rest of the en-
ployes, the majority of whom are not in
favor of the strike anyhow. The girls are
still defiant and say they will never give
tune. Tonight the manufacturers talk
over the situation.
