GLASS PLANTS WILL RESUME.
Workers and Two Companies Come
to Terms.
By Associated Press. }

PITTsBURG. Aug. a- The pros
pective contest between window glass
workers and manufacturers is likely
to be nipped In the bud by a settle
ment effected yesterday between the
workers and the Chambers Glass Com
Glass Company, South Side, PittsburE.
Manufacturers wanted to cut wages 30
Der cent. and workers refused to &C
cept more than a 10 per cent. cut. The
situation at the close of the conference
pointed strongly to a complete shut
down OF the window glass plants OF
the United States.
Mr.. Chambers and his workmen have
agreed on 20 per cent. reduction for
blowers iatteners and cutters, and q
10 Der cent advance for gatherers. The
Chambers and Phillips factories will
olow IN on Sept. L., Other plants will
probably have to follow suit.
