Communication from the Glass Blowers,

To the Editor of the Argus:
In THE ARGUS of the 23d inst, was an
article concerning the glass works, in which
some statements were made which we wish
corrected.
In the first place it is stated that the
stockholders concluded to close their works
until they can make glass to compete with
foreign and eastern glass. That does not
seem to be the trouble,-at least they do
not tell us they are not making money, but
they say they want us to share the risk
against loss, the financial condition of the
country being such that they run great
risk in selling.
Again, it is stated that the men de-
mand extravagant wages. Now Mr..
Editor, we averaged for the last year
Counting the entire year, $4,000 per
month each blower and no more. Is that
extravaganza, considering the work we dc
and the time allowed for glass blower to
work I'M Now, Mr.. Editor, if a man
learns glass blowing and works at his trade
until ne is AZ or so years of age he is done
with it. Then should he 60 to the Poor
House for the remainder of his days, or
beg bread from door to door ?-or should
his employers compensate him so that he
can lay by for rainy day and for old age
Then it is stated that nearly all the glass
manufactures in the west have suspended
work. This is mistake. Only two have
have suspended and they are in Ohio, one
OF which has been running for Is months
and their furnace being out of repair they
would have to stop for repairs, even if
they wanted to run.
| 1t is also stated that there is Union
comprising all the men of certain classes
| in the business, west of the AlleghaEies
This is another error. There is not a
blower in Rock Island who is member of
any Union.
The following are two of the articles in the
proposition offered the workingmen by the
company, viz:
Art. 3. Let all the expenses be paid !;
then let the company have ten thousand
dollars for the use Of fixtures and buildings
and all the property represented by its cap
ital stock.
Art. 4. Then let the blowers, gatherers,
fiatteners and cutters receive profits to the
fextent of the 25 per cent. retained, and all
excess OF profits, after paying them in full,
as above, shall be equally divided between
the company and their men.
Now, MIR. Editor, it seems the company
is not satisfied with 20 per cent. clear
profits, but should we make 10 cents over
and above our wages they want of that.
You say you regret We could not come
TO some arrangement. SO do we !, but they
will not allow us TO dot an or cross a 7.
