STRIKE AMoSo GLASS HOUSE MEN,
The employees at the South Wheeling
Glass Works yesterday struck against a
proposed change in their wages. The
boys employed at these works have here
tofore received ticket for each "move,"
which ticket is good for twenty-five cents
upon pay day. As about FIVE hours are
required for each "move," the boys gen.
eraly received two tickets each day, al
though often they did not put in a full
days work. The proprietors now pro.
pose TO pay the boys by the
piece, which would materially re.
duee their wages. The strike was
inaugurated by the boys, and the preserS
and fnishers followed. These latter COM
plain that the company will not longer
pay them for the time spent in changing
mOulds, as heretofore. The company are
represented as firm in their determine
ton to make no concessions, and the work.
men declare that they will not work under
the new arrangement.
