TWO MORE NAMES.
Placed on the Black List Corner of
 Strikers Blackboard.

To-day was ended the first month of the macninlsIs' strike, and It was celebrated with music ana dancing in their headquarters. But all the men were not thus engaged. The plckeIs were on duty, as ylgllant as ever, and the picnic committee was quite busy. Regarding the picnic the commlIree reports sallsTactory sue cess. Those srorekeepers who did not contribute to the last picnic have done so for that winch takes place to-mor- row.
 No movements have been made so far this week on either side to bring about a settlement The men say that the next move is due from, the employ CTS, and that Wnlle thelr terms or set tlement are weil known they are al ways ready to meet any employer ill conference.
 The bulletin board at headquarters bears the names of two men who have returned to work in the Farrel foundry. They are w. Phippeney and N. Hiene. The placard on which they appear stands at the topmoSt of the board, so that the casual glance can discern them at moment. The appel lation given to all union men who re- turn to work during strike stands under the names.
 That the nine hour workday has been established is no longer a ques- tion of doubt And to extend it to the Naugatuck valley remains with the machinists here, in Ansonia and in Bridgeport. In the last named city the prospect is clearing for speedy settlement, owing to the work of the Telegram Union of that city, which has maintained a steady and persist ent attitude that the public have a word to say in the contention. Of the situation there the paper mentioned made the following statement in this mornings issue:
 At the conclusion of the session the machinists' representatives modified their demands and announced their willingness to accept the terms on which the Hartford differences were settled
 Tn Hartford the manufacturers and mach1nlsts agreed to provision that all machinists should return to work at nine hours and 10 hours pay and that the manufacturers should recog- niZe the shop committees but not the unions.
 The delegates from the Bridgeport machinists agreed to this. The com mittee showed them that in order to bring the matter to settlement it would be necessary that they modify their original terms and meet the man. ufacturers half way.
 This is important progress, as one side has yielded from it's original de- mands and is willing to accept a com promise.
 A striking machinist in Ansonia wis., tied the local headquarters and stated that in every store in Ansonia there is a card asking the public to keep the peace and not play into the hands of certain employers of sodabor, who brought to the 5,citysa numbef1Iof sher4 ifs and thereby tried to incMe, the pubs lie to disorder and riot The card has reference to the Farrel foundry. The visitor stated this company is trying to throw the expense of paying the sherlfrs upon the county. A few even ings ago, he said, one of the sheriffs walked the streets accompanied by a colored man, one of the 43 strangers who were brought to town two weeks ago to take the places of the strikers. The strikers took it for granted the object of this was to incite them to break the peace, necessitating the call ing out of the sheriffs and thus make them public instead of private ser- wants and thereby throw the expense, of maintaining them on the people But not a hand was lifted against the man or his convoy, nor was a word uttered to hurt their feelings.
 The same man said that of the 43 strangers that were brought to town about 20 of them now remain.
 
 The men who are. posted at head. quarters as having returned to work are not reckoned as skilled machinists, but as handy men. Therefore, the otl1. CT men do not look upon their return td work as very dangerous to their cause
 A man saw two boxes of tools being removed from a car near the Nauga- tuck freight depot this morning and taken to the factory of the Randolph Cloves company. It is reported that a man for making tools for the brazed tube department has been constantly employed in this concern for the past few weeks
