The Pittsburgh Glass Blowers

from that city, says:
There is a strike among the ''tending
boys, which keeps twenty Of the tw enty-one
factories of the city idle, with no immediate
prospect of resuming. The trouble grows out
OF the action of the Western " indow Glass

to do requires not only skill, but care and

Disappointing the Just hopes and expecta-
