DANBURY, Conn, Dec. 12-The rumor
that Bellair, Lurch & Co., the big hat
manufacturers, would resume work this
week and would take back their old hands
has some foundation in fact, and it is
learned that their factory would now be
running but for the illness of the two
senior partners, who are both confined to
bed with grip.
They h.Ne persistently denied the rumor
for policys sake, but it is now positively
known that they intend to begin work
next Monday and resume their old rela-
tions with the four unions. The superin-
tendent Of the factory says that tits neces-
sary for the firm to get the old employees
back, as they are choice workmen and
used to their kind Of work.
The giving in Of this shop is a great vic
tory for the men locked out. They believe
that it will be followed by other manufac-
turers in a short time Other manufac-
turers, however, are sitter than ever
They say they will import nonunion help
from Fall River, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania before they will submit to dictation
from trade unions any longer.
