THE PENDING PROPOSITION
By the Wheeling Syndicate to the Labehe
Stockholders.

By the Wheeling Syndicate to the Labeiie
Stockholders.
Il is said that the proposition to the
stockholders of the LaBelle Glass Company
made by Wheeling syndicate, will result
IN the starting up of the works ifonlly very
few stockholders will add their signatures 10
the long list Of those who have already ap'
pended their names to the agreement out
unless those holding back sign the agree
ment to the last man the movement
will fall through. Out Of about seventy
stockholders all but four or FIVE have agreed
TO the transfer of stock. Can it be pos sleie
that this little squad Of dissenters will resist
the wishes of the great mass of their fellow
stockholders, and thus throw away this op'
portunity to save half their stock, BY assist
ing to put life and energy into these WORKS,
which seem now to be afflicted with kina
of dead rot?' Surely, along with goodt
Judgment, these objectors have the milk OF
human kindness" and may we not hope
that after further thought, they will aecede
TO the wishes ofthe great majority, and thus
save half of their own property, while they
at the same time afford the means to scores
of honest workingmen to earn hVing Tor
their families. Let us hope that ere anoth.
er week goes by work at the La Belle will
be assured, and that where we now see
gloom and want we may know there Will
soon be Joy and plenty.
