The Proposition of the Men Submitted to
the Manufacturers.
At nine o'clock yesterday morning the
rroI tsition Of the glass workers, as agreed
nrtn at Saturdays meeting, viz: to go to
work on the basis of the offer made at the
Bellaire conference, III December last, and
meanwhile to labor for the adoption of a
uniform method OF working all over the
country, was handed in to the manufactur
ers, and these | tier VII probably call a
meeting sometime during the week to con.
slider the proposition.
There seems to be a general desire, both
among manufacturers and workmeu to
meet and discuss the situation in a friendly
spirit, and it is believed that the negotia,
tons will result in the starting up of the
works and their operation until July, when
the National convention of g~lassworkers
will adopt a uniform system, and future
trouble thereby be avoided. ~
