Hobbs Glass Works Think They May be
Out of job.
Anepidemic OF blueness is rife on the
South Side. Since the Incorporation of
THO Hobbs glass works in the United
States Company, the idea has obtained
among the mold-makers and Iresssrs,
that their services will probably be dis
pensed with, as the output Of the factory
may be limited. Some of the men are
already casting about for positions else
where.
There would seem to be no reason to
dread possibility OF this nature. Most
of the output of the Hobbs factory is in
patented goods, for which the demand
is pressing and constant The only
factories apt to be closed are those turn
ing out general line of glassware; those
producing special goods will continue
at work.
