manufacturers in st. Paul of
stained glass. 1t was idle, he
said, in the face of such
facts as were presented in the commu-
nication. for st. Paul to talk about en-
couraging other manufacturers to come
here, when its iobbers and business men
failed to support those already engaged
in manufactures here. The communl-
cation referred particularly to the let
ting Of a large contract for stained glass
to the Tiffany Glass company, OF New
York. The designs were made for the
windows of the Central Presbyterian
Hayward's designer. The contract was
let to the New York firm without the
st. Paul mandatory being offered a
chance to meet the price made by its
Eastern competitor. The communica-
ton further said that the force of men
now being worked in st. Paul could be
easily doubled provided the firm re-
ceived the same encouragement in ST.
Paul as it got from Minneapolis. Mr.. lie
remarked that the last statement was
the one which cut him as a st. Paul
man, and one who desired to see manu-
featuring flourish here. He offered a
resolution, which was subsequently
adopted, that committee be appointed
to district the various manufacturing
interests in the city and prepare list
for publication Of the firms so engaged
for the guidance and information OF
jobbers and contractors.
A communication was read from w.
6. Young d Co, of Clinton, TO-, asking
for proposition from st. Paul as to the
location of their interests here. The COM
pany is lumber-working concern, the
largest in the West, and the communi-
cation states that the firm is willing to
transfer its plant to st. Paul, provided
satisfactory propositions are made.
1t was shown in the report
of the chairman of the committee
on iron industries that sawmill machin-
cry was in great demand in this section;
also engines of various kinds. The
committee recommended the encourage
ment In particular of manufacturers in
these lines who desired to locate.
1t was stated that from time
to time there had appeared COM
munications in the GLOBE from
st. Paul manufacturers, alleging
that proper support was not accorded
them by st. Paul people. There was,
upon investigation, every indication
that the allegations were well founded.
A resolution was passed making the
CUlllullUCC VII llOulC pdulOudSC a pOlhict
nent committee, with instructions TO
visit st. Paul contractors and induce
them to afford St. Paul concerns a
chance to meet the figures of outside
houses. Before adjournment Chair
man Marvin stated that in defer
ence to any private arrangements Mr..
Willard and party might have upon
their arrival here, it might be necessary
to issue call for special meeting to
occur before Monday, in which event
postal cards would be sent to all mem
bers announcing the same. Mr.. Willard
and party will leave for the Pa
ciic coast after completing their
business in st. Paul and Minneapolis,
With the exception of Mr.. Schurz, who
will remain here several days. Mr..
Lowry is credited with having said in
Chicago that he felt confident of max
ing satisfactory arrangements with Mr..
Willard with reference to the various
deals under discussion. The latter, he
said, was willing to go into anything
that gave promise of being feasible and
for the ultimate good of st. Paul, Min
neapoliS ana the Northwest generally.
