 Thompsonville, Sept. 16.-The strike of the BrusselI weavers of the Hartford Carpet company has been on month and a settlement seems to be as far off as ever. A majority of the strikers are married and live in dwellings owned by the company, and have been noti- fled to call at the office and pay their rent. Many of them are unable to do so, and it is understood that the com pany has made arrangements to have them evicted after the legal notice has been given.
 This latest move on the part of the company was not expected by the weav- CTS, but as they have a reserve fund of $1,20O on hand, they will be able to fight their employers for some time yet. In case the company tries to evict any of the strikers the money necessary to pay the rent will be taken out of the reserve fund and besides, the strikers who need money will receive S5 per week. All others will be refused finan- cial aid.
 About $500 was received by the strik- CTS last week from employees in Phila- delphia, Yonkers, Lowell, Clinton, Wor- cester and Palmer carpet companies, and the same sum is promised for the com ing week.
