" DANBURY, CONN., Jan. 25, 1894. Nine of the 

 twenty hat factories that have been closed two 

 months by a lockout of their employes reopened 

 this morning. The manufacturers refuse to tell 

 how many of their late employes returned, but the 

 Executive Committee of the unions places the total 

 number at twenty-two. The firms that reopened 

 their factories and attempted to resume operations 

 were: i, C. H. Merritt & Son ; 2, White, Tweedy & 

 Smyth ; 3, W. Beckerle & Co. ; 4, John W. Green ; 

 5, D. E. Lowe & Co.; 6, T. Brothwell& Co. ; 7, E. 

 A. Mallory & Sons ; and 8, T. C. Millard & Co. 

 Several of the firms started work in some depart- 

 ments, and all agree that they will be running in all 

 departments next week."
