To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
The article in Thursdays Pittsburg morn
ing papers has excited great deal of un
favorable comment among the people o
this place, among whom are many warn
admirers of The DISPATCH, who are loath tt
believe that it would willfully do an fnjus
tfce to neighboring town. These people
| regret exceedingly that THE DISPATCH, al
well Us the other papers, has been imposed
on by some irresponsible person who is
either grossly ignorant of the true situation
here or has some selfish motive in thus
| utterly ignoring facts. Your friends here
beg to submit few facts which they com.
| mend to the attention of those unprejudiced
| people who are desirous of seeing us as we
| are
The flint house here is running full, and
that is more than can be said for any other
! works in the whole country, it being the
only establishment that has, as yet, resumed
operat1ons. The Dithridge Glass Company's
works are iu full operation and unable to
| supply the demand for their wares, with
everything indicating q prosperous year.
| The East Jeanette Speciality Company is
| da1iy turning out more glass than ever be-
| mand.
The Gondola Tannin Company at the pres
| ent time has every department. of its i'm
mense plant In full blast night and day and
| from present indications, will continue to
| operate the plant to its utmost capacity dur
| ing the entire year.
The William G. Price Lead and Pipe Com
nany, although in operation but a short
time, are daily increasing the number of
their employees and consequently their out
put thus adding another to the industries
OF Jeannette that is by no means an unim-
portant one.
A half-dozen other Industries of less i'm
portance, all actually engaged in the produc-
tion of their particular specialties, prove
beyond peradventure that Jeanne tie posi-
lively leads any town of like size in Western
pennsylvania in the matter of active indus
tries,
The window glass mandatory has not
resumed operations, and all who are con-
versanJ with the business know it would be
unprecedented to fire the furnaces prior
to September Is.
Not an employe in the factory can be found
who, at any time since the shutdown, antic-
ipated resumption Of operations in that
department before September !, and there is
ample time to adjust all differences between
employer and employe prior to that date.
The reported financial difficulties of James
A. Chambers are not regarded seriously
here, as it is a well-known fact that the tank
system, the one in use here, has proven so
eminently satisfactory that stock in con-
Germ of this kind will always be at a pre-
MUM, thus obviating all cause for uneasi-
ness on account of the rumored financial
embarrassment of any individual. The
superiority of their product will justify this
firm in resuming at the earliest possible
moment, and glass men here have no hesi-
fancy in saying that they will surely do so.
A careful canvass among the business
men 9f the town has utterly failed to pn
cause of O depression in business On the
contrary, we find them making preparations
for an increase in business, and without ex
ceptlon they report an increase in sales over
the corresponding months of last year and
are enthusiastic over the prospect for the
future of Jeanette. Real estate dealers re-
port things moving briskly, and it is evident
that there has been no cessation in the build
ing up of the town. Jeanette has never
had "boom' and never wanted one. Her
growth has been of the more substantial
kind and she will endure because of it.
