An official OF tho Martins Ferry
Glassworkcra' Union yesterday askod
Manager Alex Humphrey, OF tho luck.
oyeHlass works, how they would take
TO n proposition, should tho Union
mako 1t. and stated the proposition,
Mr. Humphrey stated that il would bc
necessary to lay tho matter beioro Mr..
A. y. Soamon, tho president, and tina,
hc would speak Ruthori,atively. Tho
plan OF tho glassworkors Ia to ascertain
II 1t Is necessary for tho Buckeye to
make tho cut thcy propose TO do and
wish 4 committee 10 decide this, tho
committee to consist OF ono from tho
buckeye glass works, ono from Bricc
Bros. glass. works. who like Mr.. Soa.
mon want reduction in tho prico OF
wages paid for making tumblers, and
tho third committeeman to be from tho
local union, this committuc to visit
dItleront non.union factories making
tumbler,, ascertain from tho manage.
mont tho actual cost OF making them
ana tho wages.
Mr.. Scamon says that this would DO
all tomfooIery and indicates that ho
would not accept such a proposition.
lie says 1t would DO absolutely impossi.
bic for such committee TO find out
what they wish, that tho non.union
mon would not toll tho union mon wba
they oarn, because OF the enmity DO.
tween them, and the factory would
have their own private reasons for not
telling tho real cost OF tumbers. Mr..
seamon holds that this is not tho ques.
ton, but tho point 10 wha, no can get
for tumblGrs and the wages he pays,
and that because other factories lose
money on them Is no reason he should.
lie says that ho knows that 1t is out OF
the question for him to pay the present
union wages and compete with the
non.un!on factories, and that any sane
person ought TO know this. lie asserts
that he can buy tumblers from non.
union factories cheaper than ho eau
