THE DANBURY sIrUArIoN.

H The Men Discussing Knotty Prob fems Yesterday-A split in she Union Impending.
 DAHBuHY, Jan. 8.-The action of some of the members of the hatters' union here in accepting work from the firm of Bel taire, Lurch & Co.,, has caused feeling among the other members of the union that is far from pleasant, and those nem- bers who returned to work may secede from the union altogether. The first indi- cation of such q feeling existing in the ranks of the union matters appeared to day at the meeting of the matters, and At which the proposition of the manufacturers tc the locked out men to return to work, wa brought up for discussion. Some of thu union members present ct the meeting brought up the question ss to whether those matters who had gone back to wof1 should be further considered members o the hstters' union. The question was freely discussed ani the members declared that 1t was . direc | violation of the rules of the union for tn men to return to work while no genera l settlement had been arranged, and there fore, according to the rules of the Hattera union thees men should be expelled. N action WAS taken, however, by the uniol itself. If the men who returned to wor refuse to leave of work again when aske to do 80 by the union to which they belong 1t will mean that the days c the Hatters' union will be nun bersd, for a split will be the probable n suit. The majority of the men are an1 ious to get work, regardless of what ma be the view of the union on their actioI and this fact has bsen clearly demonstrate by the large number of applications fe work when Beltaire, Lurch & Go. al nounced that they would opcn their fs tory last week. ...- .....
 Thus far in the trouble there have n, yet appeared any real signs of sufsrin among the families, and there has bsen great increase in the demand upon u charity organizations of the town since u lockout began.

WANT THE MAYORS ROOM.

WANT THE MA AYOR1S ROOms The Assessors and Board of Relief
 Present . Petition to the Select
 men.
 The members of the boards of assessors and relief have sent petition to the board of selectmen asking that more oommodioua quarters be provided for them in the city hall. The principal object of the petition Is to secure for the use of the assessors and the members of the board of relief, the room now occupied by the mayor. The rooms now occupied by the two boards are much too small for the uses to which they must be put, and more room Is desired. It is believed that the mayor will be re. quested to vacste his present office, that room having been awarded to the town at the recent division of the city hall.
