A RAY OF HOPE,
That the 0vsr-ths- River Glass
Works May Yet Resume.
Manufacturers Somewhat Surprised---The
Latest Phases Of the Nail
Situation,

LUG EcoOiuAAOA Va AAC AAAh B
published in this paper yesterday morning,
was somewhat of q surprise to some of the
manufacturers, coming as it did before
they had presented their price list, which
they have been revised for several days, and
which they finished yesterday afternoon.
After q meeting Of several hours in the Of
fee OF the Bellaire Goblet Company yester-
day the manufacturers resolved upon the
following
U~ITIMATUN:
"WREREAs, We have sent q committee to
Pittsburg to ascertain the prices and terms
now in force in the factories there, we are
ready 10 advise our workmen at our re-
spectiye factories what such termssnd prices
are. ard are willing 10 resume on those
terms aud prices a.d no Others, and 1t not
accepted at once we will be compelled to
remain closed indefinitely.
"BELLAIRE GOBLET COMPANY,
RODEFER Bros,
ETNA GLASS AND MFG. Co.,
BELMONT GLASS Co,
LANTERN GLOBE Co,
LABELLE GLASS Co,
BUCKEYE GLASS Co,
ELsoN GLASS Co."
THE FLINT GLASS MANUFACTURERS
Who went up to Pittsburg to investigate as
TO the prices paid workmen IN that place,
found that the prices were the same Tor Ike
work. The Pittsburg manufacturers opened
heir books and gave their visitors free &C
cess. We are informed that the scale now
ready for the workmen is the anne as that
found on the books in the Smoky City and
We hope the men will investigate it as soon
AZ possible, and should it prove satisfactory
1t will enable the various factories over the
river to resume operations sooner than 9th
e~rwise. One manufacturer seen last even
,pe said that he felt pretty certain hat mis-
Employees would
AGREE TO THE SCALE
adopted for his factory. Public interest IN
Martins Ferry seems to have been suddenly
transferred from the nail to the glass bust
aess. 1t appears that the action Of the El-
on has impressed the people with the idea
hat something must happen, and that soon.
nd for that reason all anxiety is centered
in the outcome and what will follow. There
IS as yet been no ware made in the fac
~, Notwithstanding the current report
ut there were two shops ready to go to
ork yesterday morning. So far there has
ten but one man come here
% work, and he left Immediately
sEOn btirg appraised Of the condition
affairs. Something must be done before
AMY more days. II Inc glass is ladled
ut and the furnace cooled 1t will result IN
% small loss to the firm, and if the glass is
Owed 10 remain in the pots a lew days
orger it will be entirely spoiled.
What reply the manufacturers made to
be resolutions of esterdsy's meeting ofthe
Eorkmen was not learned, but one Of the
firms told q reporter yesterday that they
sere wiling and ready to accept Pittsburg
uni e7s and rules Immediately, but could
lot do so if the offer was delayed
n answer 10 the question of why they could
rot accept the proposition to choose six fac
cries in conjunction with the workmen
I'D draw up a list Of wages aud moves, he
sid: I'VE know what Pittsburg rules and
lists are and do not see the necessity Of
choosing six factories from which to learn
What we already know"
In the meantime the interest does not
.eem % be sbsting or the strikers weaken
ing.
