The present outlook for the Buckeye
glass house 90 start up is very doubt
ful. Mr. A. ID. Seamon, proprietor OF
the works. has made q proposition 70
several OF the men working in the Of
fee. that, n they wish 20 run the otiice,
he would dismantle and move IL to any
town or city they desire to 90 TO. lie
would furnish the money and they
could DO the business. This Is on ac-
count OF not Being able TO start the
works here successfully, as non-unlon
| glass workers are afraid TO come here,
owing 60 the manner In which couple
of their number have been treated. One
of the best glass men In the Ohio valley
claims that Mr.. SeamOn could not run
his glass works successfully and pay
union wages, owing TO the fact that the
glassware made 40 the Buckeye is the
same as that made by other factories ~
this valley that pay nOn-uDion prices,
aud can sell their ware SO lower price.
Mr.. SeamOn claims he would pay union
prices n be could do IL successfully. II
the Buckeye works should be moved
from here II would be hard blow on
Martins Ferry business men. The
Buckeye when running employs about
800 people, and pays out as much money
every two weeks as any other factory
In the city.
