The B. d. and S. B. base ball clubs
played game OF ball on the Martins sd'
dition commons yesterday morning, which
resulted in the defeat OF the latter by q score
OF 30 to q.
The glass situation here seems to be vir-
tually unchanged One OF the workmen
said yesterday: We have conceded every.
thing we possibly can, and still maintain
our union. We do not ask them TO allow
our factory committee TO run the factory,
but simply to enfore our rules upon our own
members. Sail he in regard TO their
other amendment to the manu-
facturers proposition: Does it look
fair for a whole shop 10 be docked for one
mans bad workmanship Suppose there
are four of US at work making goblets. The
gstherer makes bis part properly. The
presser does the same and the bowl fnisher
sends from him in good condition. Then
tie foot setter puts on a crooked foot and
| sends it in bad. Should we all lose our
wages on account Of this one poor me
cbanic3 On the other hand, suppose the
gatherer, gathers blisters and all hands al.
lows the ware to pass them it is just that
We should all be docked, or il the peesser
makes ware full OF laps or shear marks or
too heavy or too light, then oil hands after
him if they allow the ware to pass should
| be docked, but the gatherer should be paid.
| The men seem determined to hold out Tor
their last proposition, one Of them remark
iDg that he supposed he loved his children
az much as any man but that he would look
at their bare footprints in the
snow 5fiore he would give up
| the union. A manufacturer said
| e tere is not enough money in seconds TO
| pay for the glass and the wages Of the men
WHO make the ware, or in Other words the
decrease in the cost Of manufacture BY
| docking only the man who spoils the ware
is not equal TO the decrease demanded in
the selling price by the buyer Whether or
not the matter will be settled remains 20 be
seen. Both sides have apparently taken q
very firm stand and it may be some time
before the trouble ends. Local Union No

| of, but no action was taken in regard TO
the strike President Smith is in town.
