BIG HAT STRIKE IS ON.

IS, 900 Workers Quit When Manu-
facturers Abandon Union Label.
Twenty-Five thousand persons went
out on strike Friday and seventy-five
hat factories in New England and the
North Atlantic States have been tied up
as a result of a decision of the Asso-
ciated Hat Manufacturers to discon-
tinue the use of the union label Sam
uel Mundheim, president of the asso-
citation, said that the order followed
the refusal of union employees of the
Guyer Hat Company in Philadelphia to
keep q working agreement. Under this
agreement, he said, the men were to
continue work until q settlement of
pending questions was reached, but the
men quit work in that factory three
weeks ago and have since refused to
return.
Martin Lawlor, secretary Of the
United Hatters North America, said:
''The cause of the trouble was the re-
fusal Of the Guyer company to live up
to their contract with us, not any re-
fusal of ours to live up to our contract
with them. The statement that the
men in the Philadelphia factory quit
work is misleading"
The chief factories affected are in
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Newark and Orange, N. j., and In Dan
bury, South Norwalk and New Mil
ford, Conn.

CUBANs TO MAKE LAWS
New Congress Takes First Steps
Toward Restored Independence.


Although the reins of elf-government
viii not be officially turned over to the
Cuban authorities until Jan. %, when
the inauguration of President Jose
fredo Zayas will take place. the meet
ing Wednesday Of the new Cuban Con-
gress in initial session marked the be-
ginning of the end of the second period
Of American Intervention in the island,
which began with the breaking out
of the revolution in August, 1906.
Little or no public interest was man
ifested in the gathering of the legis-
lators, the purpose of the meeting be-
ing merely to pass upon the credentials
of members At the Senate building
the twenty-four Senators met shortly
after noon and submitted their creden-
tials. The eighty-two members of the
House gathered in the new House Of
Representatives building, formerly the
Admiralty Palace, which has been en-
tirely reconstructed.
For the first time in the history of
the republic the House enjoyed the dig
nifty of occupying It's own home, hav-
ing met during the former period OF
independence in an old tobacco ware
house.
The decree issued by Provisional Gov
ernor Magoon convoking the Congress
makes very strict requirement for
the attendance Of members. Neither
Senators nor Representatives will re-
ceiye pay when absent from roll calls
without leave and neither house will
be permitted to grant leaves of absence
to more than one-sixth of their men,
berships at one time.
Bills establishing cockighting and a
national lottery will be among the first
to be introduced.

While nothing official has been given

that he misread his watch, thus en-
croaching on the time of the freight

THAw SANITY ISSUE UP.
Trial Granted, but Jury Is Refused
and Case Goes to New York.

Harry X. Thaw will be given a trial
as to his sanity, but the manner in
which he is to have it has aroused the
indignation of his mother and counsel,
as well as of the man himself.
An order for a trial was iSsued Sat
urday by Justice A. I. Tomkins at
Nyack, but the judge did not grant
hearing before jury, as asked in the
petition. Instead he decided that the
case be heard before a court or judge
in New York City, with or without the
assistance of a referee, as the trial
Judge may decide. 1t was hoped by
Thaw's friends tina. the inquiry w0uid
be held In Duchess County. where the
Matteawan State Asylum, in which
Thaw is now confined, is situated.
Mrs. Thaw, after she had heard Of
the decision, gave out the following
patient, either through his counsel or
his family. is able to remove such
case as my sons from the district in
which the hospital is situated and 1t is
an outrage that Mr.. Jerome, who has
shown such baseless vindictiveness, not
only against my son, but against others
connected with the case, should be al
lowed to violate this rule, especially
when it is plain that Mr. Jerome's pre-
tense that my son has paranoia is made
in bad faith, or his colleague, Mr.. Gard
ner, in his address TO the court last
Saturday would not have entirely ig-
nored this claim, and instead have
feebly argued that he had maniacal de-
pressive insanity, which every alienist
ever connected with the case considers
preposterous / am told, and it seems
to me probable, that the threat Mr..
Jerome made after the first jury disa-
greed, that he would delay any second
trial in the hope that my son might go
crazy in the Tombs, is neither forgotten
nor abandoned"
