Der of mechanics from the East. 1t is

get this establishment, but she didn't
take hold.
The Model Glass Work at Findlay, ii
is said. has been purchased by an Eng
lish syndicate, and il is said some OF the
manufacturers in this section expect
the agents of this syndicate along this
way I'm the near future, but IL is hoped
they will get no satisfaction in Wheel
ing.
The Crystal Glass Works, at Bridge
port, are running full up, and business
is good. The Crystal is shipping several
ear loads OF ware per day. and last week
they made the largest shipments OF any
week since they started up.
Alexander Glass. who was designated
TO audit the books of the Spaulding mill
company, has filed his statement with
the clerk of the jefferson County Court.
Mr.. Ad. Thompson. travelling sales
man for the Crystal Window Glass
Works, is laid up at Dayton, o., with a
sprained ankle.
The wrist pin of the MngO nail fac
tory broke yesterday, and the factory
was forced to lay off. 1t will resume
work to-day.
The Elson Glass Works, at Martins
Ferry. started up on Monday, after a
short shut down.
There was large meeting of the
Northwestern Ohio glass manufacturers
at Fostoria, a day or two ago, At which
all the manufacturers were represented.
The chief object OF the organization
was to take some concerted action TO
down the discrimination in freight rates
against northwestern Ohio manufactur-
ers and i'm favor of Pittsburg. 1t was
decided to lay the matter before the
traffic committee. 1t is claimed that
geographically they cannot compete In
prices with Pitteburg and Eastern fac
tories because of this discrimination.
Factories were represented at the meet
ing with an aggregate capacity greater
than that of PittSburg and surrounding
glass towns combined. This move is of
great interest to the glass men Of this
part of the country.
There is trouble brewing among the
labor organizations of East Liverpool,
growing out of the movement to put an
independent ticket in the field during
the coming spring. A member OF the
Building Trades Council makes the
following statement to 4 Crisis reporter;
The stOnemasons had their representa-
| tive on the floor Of the meeting of the Coun-
I ell when it was decided 10 enter the polit-
/ ical field They voted for il, and doubtless
| the majority Of their order are still favor
able Such a notice as passed by this order
was undoubtedly the work Of small mi
nority. who met and are probably trying to
save some one from having their fingers
burnt | don't think their action will have
much influence, as the stOnemasons do not
represent the one-thirtieth Of the strength
of the Council The move is apparently in
the favor of Welch or Gill, who feel that
with the labor element against them, they
will be defeated The strength Of the
labor element is comprised OF four lodges
of potters. one each of glassworkers, car
penters, painters, bricklayers, plasterers
and stonemasons. What the action Of the
Stonemasons Union would be could not be
learned
