DANBURY HATTER IN VICIOUS ATTACK

 union he would not have aimed at the vital spot of union revenues for his attack.
 Refused to Pay Union Dues.
 According to reports from union officers, the international union noticed decided falling-of of union dues in the Danbury sector and re- quested the local officers to investi- gate. Moffa, being one of those badly in arrears, although regularly employed and protected by union wages and conditions, it was decided to ask him to begin to pay his arrears. Upon his definite refusal to do so, the union officers had no recourse other than to report him to the factory office. To permit him to re- main at work beside other union matters who regularly paid their dues would have been unfair to those who paid and might have resulted in others refusing to pay.
 Follows and Slashes Union Men.
 The Lemme management agreed with the point of view of the union officers and inasmuch as the com pany operates a union factory, it was agreed to pay Moffa off and let him go quietly. Moffa, however, followed the union officers to the factory office where he burst in and slashed both Scully and Gordon with knife. The wounds, fortunately, were superficial and the attacked men were able to appear against Moffa in court. The accused pleaded in the crowded court room that he did not wield the knife until he perceived that he was about to be attacked by the others, includ- ing the Lemme office men, but he could not explain satisfactorily why he had given the others an opportu- nifty for such an attack by following them to the factory office, knife in hand Chief among his accusers in court were two of his employers, both of whom testified that the slash ing was unprovoked.
 Prosecuted by McMahOn.
 One of the most peculiar, and to the unionists of Danbury the most satisfying, aspects of the conviction of Moffa was that the prosecution was conducted by City Prosecutor Leonard McMahon, one of the attor- neys serving the civil interests of Frank H. Lee, the sworn foe of the hat makers unions. That MT. Me Mahon would and did present the case and secure conviction speaks loudly for the union side of the matter. As for Moffa, his efforts to get others to hold up dues payments will be thwarted by the County Jailor for six months or so and according to Secretary John J. Egan he will carry on his communistic efforts from out side the union fold, if at all, in the future. He has automatically barred himself from all hat makers unions by his attack on the union officials of Danbury.
