COLLECTION OF $soo,ooo
 FROM DANBURY MATTERS.
Notice Sent Demanding a ReasonabI, Prompt Settlement of Judgment.

New York, April 22.-Notice was
 given today by Loewe & Co. to the
 individual defendants in the Danbury
 hatters' case that unless arrangements
 were made at the matters convention
 in May for "a reasonably prompt" ad-
 justment of the damages awarded the company, it would reluctantly be
 forced to proceed with foreclosure suits.
 A Judgment which, with intertst, now
 aggregates approximately $300,0O was
 rendered against the Danbury matters
 union and affirmed by the United
 States supreme court in the boycott suit instituted by Loewe & Co. This
 judgment empowers the plaintiffs to foreclose on both real estate and sav- ings bank accounts of nearly two hun
 dred individual defendants. In it's let ter addressed to each of the defenad- ants the company suggests that the
 burden of payment might easily be met either by the union or the Ameri-
 can Federation of Labor and de- clares:
 If the hatters' union will yet ad- vice us that it intends to observe it's
 agreement with you we will gladly CO.,
 operate in any way reasonable to avoid disturbing your real estate.''

 for Dealing With Question.

London, April 22, p. m.-That the British government does not intend to have recourse to prohibition in dealing with the drink question was inferred from Premier Asquith's statement in the house of commons this evening, when he said that on Wednesday or Thursday next the chancellor of the exchequer, David Lloyd George, would bring forward proposals for dealing with the limiting of facilities for drink ing"
 The prime minister's remark was generally interpreted as meaning that the hours during which drink would be obtainable in the public houses would be considerably curtained throughout the country and not merely in the areas where munitions of war are man. ufactured.
