PLATE-GLASS WAR.
Crisis in the Fight Between JObbers
and the PittsburE Company.

CHICAGO Sept. THE Tribune says: A
crisis is rapidly approaching in the war be-
tween the plate-glass combine and Joobers
of glass, which, the latter say, will force a
confession of defeat from one side or the
other within a few weeks. The jobbers de-
clare they won't be the ones to fling up the
sponge, either. The struggle has been in
progress for six months. Shortly after the
consolidation of nine principal factories into
the Pittsburg Plate-glass Company the lat
ter formed "a peculiar alliance with the
large jobbers in the principal cities. The
purpose of it, as the jobbers understood it.
was to guarantee trade arrangements that
would force consumers to purchase glass
from the jobbers and also to provide that
the combine should abandon the policy of
the factories composing it in selling to con-
sumers direct.
The alliance worked smoothly until the
jobbers found out that the combine was ig-
noring its part of the agreement. Then a
smash occurred. The combine Immediately
appointed one selling agent in each large
city and informed the jobbers it had no
more quotations to make or glass TO sell
them. The latter poured in their orders to
two plate-glaSS factories that had refused
to join the combine and proceeded to meet
the combines price. Since February the
two outside factories have worked night
and day, and as their orders have increased
one closed until now the entire nine are
shut down. A third long idle opposition
factory is about starting up with orders
booked ahead for several months. The
combine is said to have a heavy stock on
hand. The outside factories aforesaid are
reaping a good profit on their goods, but
the jobbers are, they say, selling every
thing at cost, and lower in some instances.
No oVertures have been made by either
side" said "a large jobber on Saturday, but
there is a feeling in the air something will
drop. The present conditions cannot last
much longer. 1t is not sentiment that is
inducing the jobbers to fight, but a desire
to be preserved. If the combine wins and
controls the trade through it's selling
agents, as it has started out to do, the peo-
pie will have to pay prices it will fix. and
the jobbers will be out of business in plate
glass. When it is understood the three out
side factories can take care of the con-
sumptive demand at present, that capital
will build new new plants If the demand
gets bigger, that the jobbers are generally
in good shape financially and that the COM
bine has a load of big salaries to officers
and selling agents and also fixed charges to
meet, and has in the bargain probably
100000 feet of glass on hand, it is possible
to deducc the probable end of the war. The
jobberS won't yield"
