DECIDED DENIALs
Made by Glass Manufac tursrs and
Workmen.
A Gentleman Makes a Statement Which
Does Both Sides an lniustce---A New
Departure to be Made Should
the Strike Continue.

A reporter called upon a prominent
stockbolder of the Central glass works yes
terday, and found him much shocked at the
ssser ion Of gentleman in yesterday morn
ing's issue that they had allowed their men
to lay off to attend the meeting Of the glass
workers, to vote down the over-the-river
manufacturers proposition. They pro-
tested against them attending and positive
IL deny the assertion in full. Said the ger
tleman:
1--WE would prefer to have the factories
over the river on, because when dealers go
to market to buy, they generally 90 where
they
HAVE THE LARGEST NUMBER TO VISIT
and make their selection. Therefore,
knowing that only two factories in the
Wheeling district are running, they natur-
s.ly 90 to Pittsburg where nearly all the
factories are on If all the factories IN
this section were working more buyers
would naturally come to this market and of
course we would be benefited. But that is
only one point Of many. The gentleman
who made the false assertion to your re-
porter certainly wished to sntsgonize our
interests as we'll as those OF the men, and
it can be plainly seen that we
have not the slightest object in attempting
10 keep the factories over the river closed
down. Even admitting that we had, for
the sake OF argument, would not work
against the interests OF the manufacturers
over the river in any case. You can say
POSITIVELY AND FoRClBLY,
10 use plain words, that the assertion OF
the gentlemen who is well informed is
falsebood and has not the slightest founda-
ton"
The officers of Local Union No. called
at the REGISTER Office yesterday and de.
sired it stated that the same statement did
them a serious injustice and they wished to
have it alphabetically denied. One of their
number, speaking in behalf OF all, said:
THE manufacturers proposition was de-
eated
| ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY,
and most Of the men from over the river
voted against it. No glass worker could
corscieptiously vote for such settlement
Of the difficulty as it would be against their
interests to have such an agreement &C.
epted Again it was only through the
ourlesy Of Mtssrs Hobbs, B:ockunier 4
CO. and the Central Glass Works that We
sere allowed to quit work and attend the
n,et ng, as they we're decidedly against our
ping TO. Then it is all folly to say that it
10 our advantage TO have the factories
over The river closed down, when we are
paying per cent, of our wages to sustain
the boys in the fight for their rights We
wish to have the public understand that
We
DID NOTHING CNDERHANDED
in the matter, and to prove this, we did not
! know what the object Of the meeting was
when the announcement was made, but
naturally supposed that it was one OF i'm
portance, being called by the Executive
Board, so we decided to attend
A meeting of Local Union No. will be
hid this afternoon at Walthers Hail. on
De South Side, at which business of import
nee will be transacted, and full attend
nee is desired.
1t is understood that if negotiations with
De manufacturers fall through, and the
len are kept out until the first of the year,
oral Union No. 9 will
| GENEROUSLY INCREASE TIE PERCENTAGE
other wages 10 assist the locked out men,
rSm 10 10 20 per cent, which will amount
c about 5000 per week With this money

priceswhich will be dealt out to the men
jnstea of the cash. This scheme will carry
he bos nicely through the winter, although
it is sicerely hoped that this move will not
ne necessary, and that satisfactory settle
