reduced the glass business to its minimum
and unless prices can be raised by some
means il will not be long ere the men will
be asked to accept
REDUCTION IN WAGES,
which in go many words would mean an.
other strike. There are places where
glass can be produced cheaper than here,
and if at those places they refuse to heed
the fact that they are playing with all the
winning points and are doing devilment to
the producers in this vicinity, something
will have to drop. In the meantime, how.
ever, tremendous effort will be made to
stitfen prices or reduce the coat of produc-
ton.
There is an interesting story connected
with the great coke strike that ended few
days ago. 1t appears from what the Bos.
ton Commercial Bulletin Gays about the
matter, that the importation Of Hungari.
ans into the coke regions during the boom
in this product in 1879 is the indirect
cause OF the troubles that exist and have
existed in the Conceivable region. After
they were introduced the women went to
work in the yards with their husbands and
from their big wages saved enough money
to bring over their relations They all
settled in about the same seclion and as
long as the industry thrived all went we'll,
but when troubles began and wages were
educed, it appears they were thrown into
a state OF confusion, anG when finally they
could not live from their wages they made
one great effort for an ADVANCE several
weeks ago and succeeded in getting q
raise of 10 per cent Besides the foreign.

The & o'clock closing movement has
been in operation for a week now, and, al.
though there is more or less kicking about
it, there is no reason why it should prove
a failure, unless it is the fact that two
stores that were expected to go into the
movement have refused. Early closing
will be announcement until the public gets
accustomed to it, which will take but
a short period. Owing to the many
amusements and attractions last week, the
streets were not as dreary and ard desert
ed as was expected. Most all the indus.
tries pay before dinner on Saturday and
conclude work for the week a. that time,
thus giving those who could not purchase
their goods owing TO the early closing an
opportunity of shopping in the afternoon
ard at night. as the stores do not close on
that evening until late hour
