Local as wei as Martins Ferry bust
ness men Will be pleased to learn that
the future operation of the West Viz
ginia Glass Company is assured. When
the workmen employed at the plant re-
fused to take stock, and assist and take
certain amount of responsibility on
their risk, by subscribing stock to be
gradually paid in wages, matters looked
very gloomy.
Nevertheless, the Directors Of the
Company have been busi.y engaged in
raising $4,000 new and additional
stock.
A Register reporter was assured last
evening by a Director and member of
the subscription committee that the en-
tire $4,000 has not as yer been secured,
but the prospects are very favorable, as
they have very nearly the amount re-
qUired.
The Directors VIII meet at the end of
this week or the beginning of next
week 10 discuss the work done thus far.
The factory will very probably be put
into active operation by September 2nd,
employing almost 800 men.
The West Virginia Glass Works is
very extensive and some of the finest
ware in the United States has been put
upon the market from this plant. An
other feature, which viii doubtless be
met with general approval by the pub
lie, is the fact that the works will be
operated principally by the old work
men, who are union men.
AS to the retaining of the old man
agement nothing can be definitely said,
but the prospects for a steady run after
the plant is put into operation are very
favorable.
