fected,

New Milford, Aug 17.-The sizers
in four of the big hat shops in the
Danbury district have been on strike
since Friday, when they left their work
pending the arbitration of their differ
ences with the bosses over their de-
mand for Is per cent, increase in the
per dozen price of hats, with mini
mum price of 80 cents for hats.
The new rate bill was put in by the
sizers last June and has been hang
ing fire pending the settlement of the
points of the national agreement be-
tween the United Hatters and the Ma
tional Manufacturers association. The
sizers' demands were separate from
the national differences and a local de-
mand. Secretary Maher Of the United
Hatters has been here during the week
trying to arbitrate the trouble and he
succeeded in getting two shops in Dan
bury to agree to the increase and a
\ minimum price Of so cents for hats.N
The other shops held out and the
men who had left their work pending
arbitration which is in violation of the
national agreement were urged to, re-
turn to work. This they refused to do
in the shops of Beltaire Bros, Hawley
& Green, T. G. Willard and Grifting's.
They are still out. A meeting of the
bosses has postponed final action I'M

THE FOURTH TRIAL
OF CALEB POWERS
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Georgetown, KY, July ga spec
ial term of the Scott circuit court con-
vened today to try the case of Caleb
Powers for conspiracy in the murder
of the late Governor William GoebeL
The case will be tried before Judge
]. E. Robbins of Graves county, who
presided at Powers last trial, and
who had been designated by Governor
Beckham as special judge for the
present trial
The trial about to begin is the
fourth trial of the famous case. Three
times has Powers been convicted Of
completely in the Goebel assassina-
ton. Twice he has been sentenced to
Imprisonment for life, and once to be
hanged.
The present trial is the outcome Of
a decision made by Justice Harlan of
the United States supreme court, who
rendered his opinion that the juris-
diction of the state and not the Fed
eral courts was paramount after the
case had three times gone to the court
of appeals, which ordered a new trial
each time.
The friends of Powers desired to
-
Federal court, advancing for their ar
gument the statement that Powers
was being deprived of his constitu-
tional rights of fair trial. They
based their charges on Powers two
former trials, when the juries were
composed of twelve Goebel men,
while, at his last trial, eleven of the
men who held his fate in their hands
were followers of the Goebel faction,
although the remaining juror was not
closely allied to any party.
The story of the murder of William
Goebel is one of the most unusual in
the criminal annals of the country.
Jim Howard and Henry Youtsey. two
friends of Powers, have already been
convicted of completely in the muir
der, and are now serving life SEN
fences in the penitentiary, while ex-
Governor Taylor, in whose interests
the convicted men are said to have
acted, is still at large in Indiana,
whittier he fled as soon as his name
was borught into the matter and
where he now lives by grace of the
magistrates of that state, who refuse
TO give him up to the Kentucky
courts.
The Kentucky legislature appro.
priated 100000 to ferret out the as
sassins and bring them to justice.
This large sum has never been ac-
counted for, and the veil of mystery
that enshrouded the killing from the
very beginning is still present.
The case of Powers, who is still a
young man, has excited no little sym.
pathy in many parts of the country,
and he is daily in receipt of a large
number of letters expressing the hope
that he may win his hard-fought bat.
tie for life. Powers friends have
stood by him Loyalty, and were it not
for the assistance they have rendered
him he would have long since been
in the penitentiary and forgotten
