his acceptance to Mr.. Quincy to-day,

The appointment will be especially

IMPORTANT CHANGES.
He WADDELL RESIGNS HIS POSITION AS
MANAGER OF FACTORY Il,
United States Glass Company, to Accept Similar
Position With the ElsOn-Hs Will Take
Several Heads of Departments
With Him.

Some surprise was manifested yes
terday morning when it was announced
that Mr.. II. E. Waddel had resigned
his position as General Manager OF Fac
toro "H," United States Glass Com
pany. Coming so soon after the fire at
the plant Monday evening, 1t was
thought to have some connection with
that unfortunate occurrence. An effort
was made to keep the fact quiet, but 1t
leaked out, and a number OF people In
terested In the glass business here
knew it.
The resignation of Mr.. Waddell, and
the announcement that he will take
with him several heads Of departments
at factory "H" when he sewers his con-
nection with the plant, gave rise to
number of rumors, the most plausible
OF which connected his action with al
legged dissatisfaction OF long standing
with the United States Glass Company.
This report is denied by Mr.. Waddell.
In conversation with REGISTER re-
porter, who called to see him last night,
he expressed surprise that the fact OF
his resignation had become known and
continuing said:
st is true that l have rendered my
resignation. 1 sent Il by mail this
morning. Ny visit to Pittsburg had
no significance, so far as this action is
concerned. / attended the meeting OF
the Board Of Directors on Tuesday, but
did not intimate that would resign.
have simply received better offer
from another company, and will have
exclusive sontrol Of good plant. The
action was not taken to fight the United
States Glass Company, for / am imam
cially interested in it's success"
The offer referred to by Mr.. Waddell,
was made by the Elson Glass Company
of Martins Ferry. He will assume the
management OF that plant after the hol-
iday stop, his resignation as manager OF
Factory III" taking effect July 10th,
after the annual inventory has been
completed, and everything is In good
shape. Mr. Waddel will take with
him to the Elson, some Of the best work
men connected with Factory 81" They
are Percy Beaumont, chemist and
SUPERINTENDENT VI VIC OCOOl 0bluk hC-
partment, Smith Butler, manager
OF the factory department; and Ed.
Miller, superintendent Of the mold and
repair departments. This is combina-
tion of practical glass men, which Mr..
Waddel thinks cannot be equalled In
the business, and there are few peo-
pie who will dispute the point.
The resignation Of the four officials
of Factory n" will no doabt be as
great surprise to the .. S. Company
as it is to the trade in general. All
have been regarded as among the most
competent practical men in the bust
ness, and it will be a difficult matter to
ill their places. 1t is said that q num-
Der of important changes will be made
at the Elson, and it is probable that a
great many of the present workmen
at factory al" will find employment at
the Martins Ferry plant.
