S.niiye session yesterday morning with
on delegates present. The different
'.s,c and kindred committees were up.
. ''' in NIL. The reading Of
iSa Slicers' reports was then begun.
w W. a. are not as voluminous as those Of
rc,r g"o. hutwerc listened to with in
cost ly tho delegates. Tho president
IN his report reviews the work done
iprin, the past year, and dwells at
IDnath ON the great Corning strike.
4" II islikelv the workers will reiterate
,hair demands for an increase in prices
IN The tableware and bottle lines. The
H;Inre OF the conference to agree upon
.sttIement last year is dwelt upon ut
iangth, and the convention is asked to
AZ some decisive steps. Some motliil-
s s may be made on articles which
suffer IRON low prices. Through over
reduction and other causes not yet
rwsIe clear by the manufacturers, the
tableware business for several years has
been ycry much depressed, while the
Sn.inrs. In iron-mold goods has to some
s oS shared the same depression. This
yeor the depression was greater even
iban in the preceding year, notwith-
sanding the activity in these depart
mrnt. during the early fall months
Xii out The promise of better things.
Among other subjects, the presidents
,onort ask the convention to act upon
.o,ne method Of making glass-mold
mons more thoroughly union, and to
.pettiiy the provisions under which they
,tslI be rated as union or non-union.
Tho trade has had much difficulty in
deciding this problem on account OF the
Ssoy peculiar questions it involves.
Tie report seems to favor the signing
Of scales for two years instead of one,
particularly in the chimney depart
nrn, The convention is asked to de-
ride whether any money should be
expended for the prosecution OF fraud
plapt valuation on imported cut glass
GOODS, About 500 has already been
spent in one case.
The number Of local unions organized
during the year is eleven.
The Secretary's report deals mainly
with figures Of receipts and expendi-
lures. Strikes during the year past
ust the union S57,74l ~ the greater
portion Of this going to the support OF
lie struggle at Corning. The death
burial association which was abolished
hit year has left debt OF $500 as a
legacy. This is not, however, debt OF
thc union proper, because the member
ship in the death burial association had
been voluntary and the debt is owed
only by those who had been members.
The treasurer's report shows about
100000 in the treasury. The treasurer
suggests that some safeguard should be
be;lrown about local funds the same as
that required for the national fund.
Some locals have suffered several times
from leialcations. An insurance COM
pny offers to give bonds for all local
ueasGTers on the local union paying a
stated premium.
The question OF taking the glass pack
en- Of the country into the American
Flint Glass Workers Union will also be
Considered and may be brought about,
They have been organized independent
" years past and have been refused
sini;sion, but the sentiment against
their admission seems to have disap-
pearel,
