NO SURRENDER,
SAY EMPLOYERS Of
ESSEX HATTERS
Local Manufacturers Declare
Action Of Danbury Conference
Will Not Affect Them.

Contrary to the belief among the hat
tiers that the concession OF the manu-
facturers OF the Danbury hating dis
trict to their striking employees would
usher in a speedy settlement of the
troubles here and in Orange, local
manufacturers declare today that the
action of the Connecticut manufactur-
ers will not AFFECT them.
The action of some of the Danbury
manufacturers in breaking away from
the association will not affect the situa-
ton in Orange. Newark, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and South Norwalk,
Conn.," declared Henry Berg, of f.
Berg & Co, in the Orange valley today.
I'VE in the association have declared
for the open shop. and that is our
stand now and forever. We will not be
cajoled with taffy nor bulldozed," con
tinued Mr.. Berg.
Some of the manufacturers declared
today that the action of the twenty
three manufacturers of the Danbury
district had been expected for a long
time. THE desertion was anticipated.

Berg's statement and said:
I'VE were not in the least surprised
at the action of the Danbury manu-
facturers yesterday, in entering into
an agreement with the United Hatters'
Union, as we were aware that the Con-
necticut firms had been comforting with
the union men for several weeks"
Charles Cullen, president of the Hat

No Demonstration.
There was no demonstration in Or
anse over the reported victory of the
strikers in Connecticut last night or
today, and while the men were jubilant
at the news of the success following
negotiations of National President
John A. Moffit with the Danbury folk,
they are awaiting substantial results
that will affect Orange.
The studied effort to ascribe the dy-
Mantle theft from the S~pottiswoode
quarry, the fire at the Grove, Quinlan
G. Moore factory to strike sympa-
thizers is taken by the men as part OF
the attack pom their organization.
That dynamite has frequently been
stolen from places where 1t is kept In
West Orange, several times within a
year, and that the wooden structure
that was aflre yesterday has suffered
three equally serious fires in its varied
history OF ownerships are mentioned by
the authorities. President John N.
Lindsey, Of the Orange Police Commits
