II is a significant fact that among the many
industrial institutions that have been put in
operation lately a goodly majority have

diversified list OF other industries are de-
pendent on thessthat 1t is taken as evidence
Of improvement in other lines when the iron
and steel industries snow signs OF bracing
up. In connection with the assumptions oc-
curing during the week there has been
noticed disposition on the part ofemployers
toward better wages. There have been a
number OF concerns In which the men en-
ployed have received voluntary notice that
their wages would be advanced within the
next thirty or sixty days The proposed in
crcases are not large, and Will In no case
bring the wages up 10 the standard which
prevailed before the reductions that have
been made during the past year and hall,

A TRUST BEGUN.
Window Glass Manufacturers FERN a
Monster Combine

An organization to be known as the Ma
tional Window Glass Manufacturer Assocla.
tion, comprising all the leading window
glass houses OF the United States. was form
ed at the the largest meeting Of the window
glass manufacturers ever held in this country
at Pittsburg Monday.
The objects OF the association are 10 con-
troll prices and regulate the production, to
settle the wage question with the workers, to
shut out foreign competition and TO get the
business on paying basis.
Hereafter the trade will be controlled by
the new organization. which will also ar.
range the wage scales with the Window Glass
Workers association. and the other employees
OF window-glass houses
The manufacturers say tho present organ
ization is not a trust or pool, but admit this
is the first step In that direction. They
wanted 10 have the interests more closely
allied and the hatchet buried before that step
was undertaken. and 1t Is thought after the
present organization has been In successful
existence for about year or two, II will be
possible 10 form trust on more equitable
basis. All the manufacturers agree n trust
could not be formed with justice TO all con-
cerned at the present time.
According 10 the roll-eall 400 window
glass pots, representing the interests OF the
three districts indicated by the cardinal
points. were represented. Almost every
manufacturer was present in person. A few
sent letters, but they we're not counted In the
l.40O pots.
