IT HAS FALLEN THROUGH.
The Scheme to Buy the LaBelle Glass
Works Comes to Naught.

The Scheme to Buy the LaBelle Glass
Works Comes to Naught.
The proposition made by syndicate Of
Wheeling glass men some time ago to pay
off the Indebtedness of the LaBelle glass
works, provided one share more than half
the stock was turned over to them, has apps-
rently fallen through. The debt of the works,
which originally cost 100000, is 500,
and the Wheeling men proposed to pay of
this and put the factory in operation. The
proposition was made to the stockholders
about month ago, and was
looked upon with considerable favor by
the holders of large blocks of stock,
all of whom promptly signed the agreement.
Then the holders were labored with, and all
but half a dozen, holding in the aggregate
a little over 100 shares came up to the
scratch. These half dozen however, one Of
whom holds twenty-five shares, and two
others twenty each, fatty refused to touch
the matter in any shape. Yesterday was
the day set for the final closing up OF the
matter, but as onlyabout $50 shares of the
1000 in the company was favorable to the
transfer the negotiations came to naugbt
The works, which employ about seventy
union men, besides the usual complement
of boys, have been idle for about two years,
and stock is quoted away down. Some OF
the overt theriver union men have taken
deep interest in the proposed transfer Of
the works, hoping that it would be a. once
started up at Wheeling prices, and thus
give them an additional point Of vantage
from which to carry on the strike. A man.
ufacturer who is interested in the syndicate
which has been negotiating for the works,
was asked about this yesterday, when he
said:
Even If the transfer should be made to-
day we would be unable to start up the
works before the middle Of July, or, say
about the time the glass workers conven-
ton is to be held The first thing to be
done would be to start up the mould shops,
design new lines OF ware and get them on
the market. Then, too, lots of small re.
pairs would have to be made, raw material
accumulated, and the hundred and one
things done preliminary to start. he
garding the failure Of the small stock
holders TO sign the agreement | am at
o loss to know what they mean. The works
have been idle for two years. and will prob
ably be idle for two more, now that our
offer has been refused The men over there
need the work, and the entire community
would be greatly benefited by start. l
don't understandit."
"How is trade generality" asked the re-
porter.
Nothing to brag Of We are about hold
ing our own, but think can see pros
pect for a decided revival in the near

ears regarding his wifes past history. In
VestigatiOn, he claims. proves that she was
carty to the famous Washington scandal q
few years ago, with which Congressman
Acklen's (La } name was connected. In the
answer is embodied a copy of the letter
written to Mrs. Belt by her husband soon
after they arrived in New Orleans, whittier
they went to spend last winter, in which he
accused her Of being an adventures, and
telling her that she was no longer his wife

the AMALGAMATED
Association and the Iron Manufae-
turers' Scale Conference
REACH NO AMlcABLE SETTLEMENT
OF the Question Of wages---A Slight
Concession by the Amalgamated
Association.
STRIKE OR NO STRIKE THE QUESTION.

PrrTsBuRG, May l4.-The Scale Confer
ence of the iron manufacturers and Anal
gamated Association, met here this morn
ing and after q brief session adjourned sine
die without having reached an amicable
settlement of the wage question. Both
sides were determined to stand by their
propositions and the only concession made
was the withdrawal By the Amalgauated
Association of the twenty per cent. ex.
ira demand for steel nails. The
manufacturers scale as presented demands
a reduction of from 20 to % per cent. on
the present scale 1t also provides that IN
case the iron card rate declines below 2!c
per pound wages shall fall in the same pro-
portion; also that the agreement can be ter
minated in sixty days instead OF rum
ming for a year as heretofore.
The proposition was Immediately
rejected by the workmen representatives
and the meeting adjourned. The only re-
course now is to Gale another conference,
unless strike or lockout has already been
determined upon.
Separate meetings Of the manufacturers
and iron workers committees were held this
afternoon after the conference, but they re-
suited in no change in the situation, neither
side favoring any concessions.
The outlook tonight is not tavoeable for
peacable solution Of the scale question be-
fore the first Of June, when the new scale
should go into effect.
A prominent iron master, in an interview
this evening, said the manufacturers alli-
snce was stronger this year than ever be-
fore. They were firm for their demands,
and while they might give in on some of the
minor points, they would stand solid on the
mere important ones 1t looks more like a
lockout now, said he, than it did two yeals
ago. ,
Among the iron workers the general
sentiment is for a strike rather than accept
the scale offered BY the manufacturers.
