Alta meeting OF the window glass manu-

presegt expressed more determination than
ever TO maintain the position they assumed
at the C9icago meeting, viz: that they will
not only demand q decrease In the wages paid
the blowers but That they will also require
permission 10 run their own iaotories The
manufacturers ssy; 1.-The statements made by
President Cline, OF the Window Glassblow-
ers Association, reEaTdiHg the probability
that factories will be ttir ed in Nuw York, is
all bosh. The fact Is the Eastern manufac.
turers are as Arm, II not trmer, than we are.
Not a factory in York State that Is In the
Pittsburgh District will start up until
the terms are concluded, and you can
depend upen that Ths workmen pre-.
tend that when we run short OF stock We
will be compelled tostart up They're great
ly mistaken. We will let our factories re-
main idle forever for that matter. We will
simply become iobbers, and ill our orders by
buying glass wherever we can get 1t. AS it's
now, the lobbsrs make more ont OF window
glass than the manufacturers do. The job
