CuT.THRoAT POLICY.


The Worry Among PFessed Glass Men
GObIeIa twenty-five Cents n DOEsB'
Pittsburgh Telegraph, 2IiL
Our glass men as q rule keep their
troubles within the circle OF their trade
and are chary Of giving information to
the public through the papers. But Just
now there is q big worry in at least two
branches OF the trade, the pressed glass OF
tableware trade and the bottle. The
troubles in the latter were referred to in
these columns few days ago.
On Saturday the writer had converse
ton with a representative Of one Of the
most widely known table ware firms in
this city, whose goods are sold in the cap
ital OF Japan and in the shops Of Sydney
Australia. Inquiry as to the nature Of
the disorder among the fraternity ELECTED
the following information;
"With one exception the pressed ware
firms OF this city are working in harmony
as to prices. But that one firm, together
with two firms outside the city, are making
all the trouble. The spirit OF rivalry be-
tween them is causing simply q cut'thro0al
policy. l am not at liberty to give the
names OF these firms. They make the
same class Of ware and equally good ware
too, and seem bent on slaughtering prices
all around" NJ,
"What do you call slaughtering pricesE!,'
"Well, for instance, goblets are SOLO
from the factory at 90 cents q dozen, ana
that affords lust fair margin, for under
the most favorable circumstances these
goods cost 2g1 cents per dozen for labor
Alone. Now think OF these Arms supply.
inc the trade ut 20 cents per dozen, and
asking us to come to their figures, 1t is
absuTl. This Monongahela House meet
ing is gotten up mainly by these warning
irms, In order TO keep up the fight"
"Why don't the Pittsburgh firms hold
back until these rivals perform the Xii.
kenny cat act"
~ think that would possibly be the
wisest course to pursue, but this will
doubtless be settled at the meeting re-
ferred to. The present prices can't be
continued, that's one thing certain. Now
there's the item Of lamps, A buyer was
in our factory the other day and actually
wanted US TO sell complete lamp ready
for the burner for twenty-five cents. In.
formed him that the thing was impossible,
and that the more lamps any firm sold at
that price the poorer such firm would be
for the transaction"
The gentleman was asked regarding the
meeting OF the trade at the Monongahela
House, but he could not or would not,
give the desired information, and the in
terview ended.
WHAT DO WHEELING GLASS MEN SAY TO
THIsP
PITrsBuRou, February lS,-The pressed
and cutglass manufacturers in this vicinity

the glass manufacturers in the United
States to establish new schedule OF prices,
This conference has been rendered neces-

Mysterious nHetssllic Mirrors.

The metallic mirrors Of the Chinese and
japanese have long been famous, but some
of them possesses 3 curious property,
which was, until recently q mystery. On
the back Of the mirror are traced in relief
DE figures of birds, flowers and ornaments.
Whes- q beam of solar Or electric light is
cast Up 5fiep polished surface in such q way
as to throw asref1ection against a shade,
wall Or other objees these designs all make
their appearance il tlle reflection. Two
professors i'll the polvtechnie1scoo at Toxic
have discovered the process by which
these effects are produced. These designs
are engraved, either sunken Or il relief,
on the back Of the mirror before it has re
ceiyed its final polish. The polishing is
effected BY rubbing the mirror upon some
hard substance, on which the polisllel
leans with great force. This pressure
naturally only bears upon tire raised pol-
tions, while tie4snnken lines are untouched.
Consequently, corresponding inequalities
are loft upon the rejecting surface, and
these reproduce tlle delicate designs in the
reflection.
