that no New Yorker OF moderate
means may own the house he lives in
if it be'centrally located, but on tho
other hand there are men abundantly
able to own their own homes who de-

they believe that the money repre-
scented by the value of house such as
they choose to occupy is more profit.

Many wealthy business men postpone

Burke, of Marion. had accepted their terms
and begun blowing glass last night. He de-
clared the claim for advance in wages
afford to pay 1t. He says If Burke and
other small factories can pay the scale,
such concerns as the Hartford City Glass
Company. with its los pots and its facilities
for making glass cheap, can also pay the
advance and go to work. He said his chief
object here to-day and the meeting this
afternoon Is TO try and arrange matters

to get the smaller concerns throughout the
