PITTsBURG, Nov. 15.-The conference of
glass manufacturers and employees, which
has been in progress here for the past two
days, adjourned this evening without ar
irving at any settlement The workmen,
through their committee, demanded an in
crease of fifteen per cent. on certain sizes
of glass and offered to accept reduction
on others. The manufacturers stated that
they were willing to start fires in the
factories. but could not do
so unless at a reduction
of fifteen per cent. on single and thirty
per cent. on double thick glass. Tha work
men offered to submit the question to ar
bitrator under the Wallace act, but were
objected to on the ground that outsiders
were not familiar with the business. 4
subcommittee of one of the manufactur-
ers and one of the morkmen was then
appointed. who will confer as soon as pos
sibls, and see if some arrangement caE-
not ba reached, whereby the present, and
all future wages trouble, can be settled
without rssorting to strikes. The confer
ence committee then adjourned until De-
cember 18th, unless called to-
gether earlier by the sub-com-
mittee. The proceedings of the conference
are watched with great interest by large
number of importers agents, and the fail
ure TO agree was received by them with
undisguised satisfaction. Thomas B. At
terbury, prominent glass manufacturer,
declared in an interview TO night that he
and many other iron and glass manufactu-
rers have come to the conclusion that
protective tariff does not protect, and that
revival in the iron and glass trade can
not be hoped for until all tariff restrictions
are removed.
