WILL FIGHT FOR
THE OPEN SHOP
HAT MANUFACTURERS DECIDE TO
STRUGGLE TO FINISH.
10000 HATTERS ARE OUT
Employers Claim the Strikers Treated
Them Unfairly and Violated the
Working Agreement with
the Union.

New York, Jan. 18.-The open shop
and fight to the finish was the action
decided upon by the Hat Manufacture
ers' association at a meeting held here
yesterday to discuss the situation
growing out of the strike Of hatters
which began Friday. An effect of the
strike, according to the manufacturers,
will be a rise in the price of hats, as
the trouble occurred in the busy sea-
son.
Twelve members, comprising the
board of directors Of the association,
attended the meeting. President Sam
uel Mundheim, who was in the chair,
made the announcement after the
meeting that the manufacturers had
declared for the open shop and were
prepared to fight to finish. He said
the number of strikers was between
$4,000 and 10000, but that there were
many non-union hatters out of employ
ment, and that eventually the places OF
the strikers would be filled.
Say Workers Were Not Fair.
"The manufacturers feel that they
"The strikers should have given us
notice, according to their agreement,
and the action should have been taken
by vote of the union"
Mr. Mundheim, in discussing the dis
continuance of the union label by the
manufacturers, which precipitated the
strike, said:
Ioh ic IF 6Ua mt 700 tn q
manufacturers and, indeed, is not
wanted. Very few people who buy
hats notice whether the label is in
them or not"
The manufacturers president ridi-
culed the report that the union had
100000 with which to make the fight.
He said, however, that the hatters'
union was one of the strongest labor
organizations in the country.
Claim Violation of Agreement.
A statement was issued by the manu-
facturers containing parts of the work
ing agreement entered into with the
union. This was done, the statement
contended, in order to set at rest any
misunderstanding regarding the atti-
Iuu0 VI LuS dOSOSldI1Oh.
The agreement in effect was that there
should be no stoppage of work until a.
final decision of arbitrators had been
rendered and that the union label
should not be removed until due notice
is given the manufacturers.
"The United Hatters of North Amer
ica," the statement concludes, fla
gravity violated the foregoing articles
by withdrawing the man and refusing
the use of the union label to the Geyer
Hat Company, one of our members,
without notice. Upon their refusal to
restore the label and the men to the
Geyer Hat Company the Manufacture
ers' association, by a unanimous vote,
directed all their members to discon-
tipue the use of the union label in all
their factories. The order was not in

condition agreement with scale wages
between the manufacturers and their
employees"
