At tbs Chamber Of Commerce Last Night-A Com
miltss Appointed to Solicit Subscriptions Of
Sock 10 Two New COmpaniss-Will get

Every chair in the Chamber Of Com
merce was occupied last evening. The
occasion was meeting to take action
looking to the purchase by new COM
panies of factories go" and 81" of the
United States Glass Company In this
city, and in the event Of this concern
being unwilling to dispose of its prop
erty, to build two new ones.
Messrs. Dobbins, Hart and Young,
the committee sent to Plttsburg TO con-
fer with President BagleY, OF the
United States Glass Company, reported
that President Blgley was in New
York, but that they would meet him
upon his return.
President Do5bins presented forms fol-
subscription lists, which were satisfsc'
tory TO the meeting.
These were as follows, one being In
tended for glass workers, and the
other for those not so employed and
who care to become stockholders in the
hew companies. These forms read as
follows:
1--WE, the undersigned, hereby sub
scribe this number Of shares Of 500,
each to the capital stock OF a corpora
ton 10 be formed under the name OF
the Central Glass Works. for the pur'
pose OF erecting or purchasing a factory
in East Wheeling for the manufacture
of glass.
NIt is understood and agreed that the
stock so subscribed shall be paid from
wages, deducting - Ter cent OF our

1--WE, the undersigned, hereby sub
scribe this number of shares OF 500
each to the capital stock of corpora
ton to be formed under the name OF
the Central Glass Works, for the pur'
pose OF erecting or purchasing a fac
tory In East Wheeling for the manufac'
ture Of glass"
The other forms were the same eI'
cept that the word Hobbs" was sub
stituted for Central"
Mr.. Charles Morningstar moved that
a committee of five for each OF the pro-
posed factories be appointed to solicit
subscriptions of stock. There was
suggestion that such a committee, com
posed OF ten members, would be rather
large and unwleldy. Mr.. c. B. Hart
gave 1t as q suggestion that 1t was de-
sirable TO cover the city thoroughly
and quickly. Mr.. Morningstar's mo-
.tiou was put and unanimously carried.
Mr.. Robert Pecari suggested that the
same committee look for sites for the
factories, in case the old factories could
not be bought.
Mr.. n. B. Scott believed the commit
tees would haYe enough to do soliciting
stock, aud that 1t would be better To
have the site to be selected later. The
matter was dropped temporarily, but
Mr.. Micnael Owens brought the matter
up again aad gave it as his view that
another committee, separate from the
stock soliciting com mittee, be APP
pointed to look for O site. His reason
for this was that at the
present time while the matter was be-
ing received with enthusiasm, 1t would
probably be possible to secure sites al
stock subscriptions or at least for low
price, while, after the companies are
organized, full value would probably
be demanded by the same people. he
accordingly made a motion for a com
mittee Of three to look after available
sites and to discover the lowest prices
at which they can be secured. Mr..
Owens's motion was adopted. Later II
was decided to make two committees,
one to each end of town. Accordingly
the committees were named as follows:
North of the creek, n. B. Scott, Peter
Hoe, George Kress; south OF the creek,
H. f. Behrens, G. w. Brockunier add
Frank Cruise.
When Mr.. Brockunier's name was
suggested as q member OF the Sites
| Committee it was suggested that the
proposed name of one Of the corpora
tions be changed from the Hobbs Glas:
Works 10 that Of the Hobbs Brockuniel
Glass Works. The suggestion seemed
to meet with universal approval, and
by common consent the name was Sc
changed,
Chairman Dobbins then announced
the following as members OF the com
mittee to solicit subscriptions OF stock:
F. C. II. Schwertfeger. Charles Morn
ingstar. Robert Pecari, Harry c. Franz
helm, John Corcoran, Fred Happy,
f. H. LANCE, Henry Bieberson and
Charles Craig.
After the meeting had adjourned, this
/ committee met, with Mr.. Schwertfegel
in the Chair. 1t was decided to begin
work Monday morning and for that pur
pose the members are TO meet In the
Chamber OF Commerce at 9 a. m. II
was not finally decided how the terri
tory is 10 be divided up, and the com
mittee may be divided in half to work
above and below the creek. One
suggestion was that they be allotted fol
work as follows: East Wheeling
Pekari, Happy and Corcoran; creek tt
Twelfth street, Main and Market
Bleberson and LANCE; Twelfth street
to north end Of city, Franzheim and
Schwertieger, south Of the creek
! Morningstar, Craig and Hart.
| During the meetings, several gentle
men gave encouraging reports. and th'
general impression seemed TO be tha'
there would be little difficulty In rails
ing the money required.
