4 Permanent Organization Effected.
Apermanent organization was thenformed
by the election of the following directors
Daniel c. Ripley, William c. King, Andrew
Il. Bryce, 4. \. Adams, August H. Kelsey,
james B. Lyon, Joseph Anderson, Daniel
Challinor, James I. Wilson, James Gillinder,
il. Z. Waddell, W lillian A. Gorby, DC. Jen-
kins A J. Smith and William P. Shinn.
The subject of mold factory for the
joint use of the company was discussed at
some length at the afternoon session. No
final action was taken on the project, as it
was considered more important thatprepa-
TatiOns be made first for beginningopera-
tions under the new management and
that other details be left for future
action. 1t is altogether probable that the
mold factory will be established, as it will
save considerable expense to the different
houses. Each factory is at present required
to employ a foreman for the mold shop, ,-and
by the adoption of one factory for all'this
expense would be reduced.
Immediately after the business of the
company had been transacted, the directors
met and elected the following officers: Dan
iel c. Ripley, President; William c. King,
Vice President; Andrew H. Bryce, Secretary;
James B. Lyon, Treasurer.
James T. Wilson was elected Auditor:
Aug. II. Kelsey, Manager commercial de-
partment; Joseph Anderson, General Mana
ger manufacturing department, and W. A.
Gorby, Purchasing Agent.
1T VIII Control Thirteen Glass Factories.
Regarding the formation of the new COM
pany, one of the promoters said last night:
the owner in fee simple OF the l3 glass
plants and issues its common stock at par in
full payment therefor. The object of the
formation of the company is to systematic
and harnonize the working of the several
glass works and secure such economies in
cost as may result from a consolidation of
interests The preferred stock is to be sold
at par for cash to be used as working capi-
tai. The properties were all put i'll at their
cash value as determined by committees of
dlsinterested experts.
The credit of inaugurating the movement
that led TO the present organization belongs
TO W. P. Shinn, of this city. He has worked
faithfully for two or three years and has
carried the concern to successful conclu-
sion.
1t is said that when work is resumed there
will be a refusal to comply with the de-
7nands of the flint workers for any
advance in wages that may be made
and should the latter attempt to enforce
such claims long shut down would no
doubt follow. 1t has not, however, been
stated that the new company will make any
warfare against the flint workers union,
and the new scale will only be rejected in,
case an advance is asked.
