 Association Held an Interesting
 Meeting Last Night.
 Ansonia, July 2O.-Settlement of the strike of the men of the Farrel Foun- dry and Machine company seems far from realization, the action of the off, cials against the strikers by injunc- 'tion not having a tendency to clear up the situation appreciably. However, the end of the week finds the condi- tions among the strikers and their sympathizers much quieter than here tofore. Apparently this quiet is due to the arrest of strike leaders on Thu. ;. day, and their arraignment in court, for although the men accused of con- spiracy have given bonds and have re turned to this city, there has been DO demonstration of any sort as an ex- pression of-the feelings of their friends regarding the matter, and no disposi- tion whatever has been shown to cre- ate new disturbances. Events have followed one another so rapidly dur ing the week that the union men seemN uncertain just what course to pursue, and are awaiting the outcome of va- gue rumorS that the injunction pro- ceedings begun by the company and the arrests made at the instance of the state attorney are to be followed by further active measures on the cons pany s part and that more bench war; 1 rants are to be issued.
 It is announced definitely that the Farrel foundry officials propose to con- tlnue running with non-union men and l It Is believed to be possible that the temper of the strikers may be put to further test by the removal of the non- | union men to boarding houses about | the city. Up to the present, the men have lived in the factory, but of late | the company has been advertising for | board for 100 men and it is supposed that the intention of the company to | discontinue the quartering of the meu in the factory.
 There IS strong prospect of a set l tlement of the Birmingham Iron foun- dry strike in Derby. the strikers and the officials having practically come \ ~ stii uSitSlilCAI ue HIGH VIII DTOJ- ably go to work next Monday. The basis of the agreement which has been informally fixed upon is not accurately known, and it is said it will not be giv- en out to the public until it has coma before the union for formal ratifica- I ton.
 All the Whitlock Printing Press conl- pany's employees with the exception of twelve who were discharged are back at work having returned to their | benches during the week.
 The Driggs- Seabury Gun and Ammu4 milton works are still closed, and no preparations to resume work are be- ing made apparently by the company.
 Action intended to offset the report ed boycotting on the part of merchants
 was taken last evening at a meeting of the business mems association of Derby, Ansonia, Shelton and Seymour.
 This action was resolution stating in effect that as efforts had been made to discriminate against certain persons in the community, it should be recogniz-
 ed as the duty of the merchants of the association ito accommodate any per sons who come to them for mercantile and professional services"
