Ifitls within the bounds of posi-
bility-and it certainly is-for Wheeling
10 keep her two glass factories, which
have suffered the usual fate Of the cen
Trailing policy Of trusts, it would be
worse than foolish to let them slip
ont OF her hands and allow silence, de-
cay and ruin to replace the hum Of in
dustry and the hundreds OF busy work
ers which made not only that particu-
lar section, but the whole city the bet
ter off,
The trust has decided to throttle the
glass industry in Wheeling.
1t remains for US to decide whether
the trust shall succeed or not
It will require comparatively very
little money in subscriptions of stock to
keep our glass factories here, where
they have been and have prospered for
so many years.
The plants are there ready to resume
o perations as soon as the trusts bought
off, the local title proven clear and the
fires started.
1t is not question Of big subscrip-
tions. Every little helps and every
Wheeling contributor helps not
only his neigbbor aud his city but
himself. II the proposed project is
failure he loses nothing. If it is a sue
cess he certain to receive more than the
worth Of his money, for Wheeling pre-
sents the best possible facilities for the
conduct OF the glass industry.
When the committee which goes to
Pittsbarg to-day TO secure an option
on the Wheeling plants reports we
will know what it will cost
to retain this most important industry;
but in the meantime the subscriptions
ought TO reach the limit. By the indi-
vidual endeavors of her own citizens
Wheeling can outwit the trust II it but
half tries, and mold its own in glass
making in the future as it has in the
past.
The thing to do now is for every one
to lend a hand toward keeping the in
dustry here.
