GLASS WORKERS SUFFER
SAD CONDITION OF THE 600 FAMI-
LIES AT HARTFORD CITY.

Leaves $4,000 Still Idle.
pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. 19-Noth-
ing since the South Side riot has caused
much excitement in this town as the failure
to come to settlement between the manu-
facturers' and glass workers committees
at Pittsburg. The entire business popula-
ton of the city is sorely affected and hum
dredS OF families are ON the verge of dis
tress- The merchants have shut down on
credit to the idle workers and there is
trouble In store. During the summer ar
range.nents had been made with the mer-
chants by President Burns of the Window
Glass Workers Union that the idle men
here should be given what they needed,
and in payment for the same he issued
credit certificates on behalf of the union,
payable six months after they are issued
If work is not resumed. If work is COM
menced the certificates are payable 20 per
cent. at each pay day. the amount being
retained by the preceptors from the wages.
The window glass factory in this city is
claimed to be the largest in Indiana and
the third largest in the United States. The
number of hands employed is nearly 60O
Thousands and thousands of dollars worth
of goods have been purchased on credit dur
ing the past six months by the idle en-
10 work again not later than after McKin-
ley's election. The affair has now reachen
d crisis The men are still idle, and busi-
ness men OF the city decided to-day that
they could no longer afford to carry the
glass workers unless the scale is settled
Immediately. Lack of sufficient capital to
carry the constantly accommodating accounts
is the reason given. President Burns has
sent word here that he will reach this city
tomorrow to have meeting with the
business men, 1t Is said he will adjust all
outstanding Indebtedness of the wOrkmen
and will endeavor to get the men several
months more credit, something very neces-
sary since the scale Is not settled. This
can only be done by redeeming in cash the
certificates already issued, but most of the
grocers expressed themselves to-day as be-
ing opposed to granting further credit un-
less resumption of work is in sight. The
action Of the merchants is the sole topic of
conversation on the street this evening
One glass worker said this evening that
the settlement Of the wage scale meant as
much to the men as did the election of Nc
Kinley. Many are in destitute circum-
stances.

WAGE SCALE UNSETTLED.
Joint Convention at Pittsburg Ad.
j0urned without an Agreement.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 19.-The joint wage
scale committee of window-glass workers
and manufacturers adjourned tonight after
two days conference without having
reached any agreement. The result of this
failure means the continued idleness Of
fifteen thousand men throughout the coun-
try who have already been without work
for the past six months.
At the session to-day the manufacturers
presented their ultimatum, which was to
resume work at last years scale, which is g
general reduction of Is per cent. on the
net list The workers proposed a compro-
mise. reducing their demand from 10 per
cent. to Z per cent. advance on single
strength blowers and from per cent. to 5
per cent. on double strength. This was
refused by the manufacturers. Before final
adjournment some of the prominent manu-
facturerS made an effort to have an arbi-
tration board of three appointed consisting
of one man from each side to the contro-
versy and third selected by the first two.
The decision of this board should be final
and date from the day of its decision, work
to be resumed at once on the Manufacture
ers' terms. This proposition was rejected
by the workers.
The manufacturers are anxious to start
their factories, and as they claim there
are many of the union workers outside of
the scale committee who are willing to
work on the terms offered to-day threaten
to resume on nonunion basis.

THE RUssIAN NOBILITY.

The conference of the Provincial Marshals of the Noblesse, called to con- slider what steps can be takan to pre- serve their order, has just closed it's sit :. tings in St. Petersburg. The crisis through which Russian agriculture is passing tells equally upon the peasant " and the nobles, observes a core spondent of the London Daily News, but while it may be fatal to the former as individuals, 1t is rapidly extinguish- ing the latter as class Since the lib- eration of the serfs in 1861, and the divi- sion Of the lands between them and their former lords, the noblesse has been 0 decaying institution. No longer supplied with free labor, they have been obliged to mortgage their lands in the Bank of the Noblesse; no longer have drifted into the towns, left their estates to the care of their bailiffs and become inveterate absentees The ques- tion of arresting their dispossession is one which separates the two parties of Russian puolicists more clearly than any other. The Conservatives, jed by Prince Meshtchersky and the Moscow Viedomosti, maintain that the history of Russia is the history of it's nobility; the Liberals, with the Novoye Vremya and the Novosti in the van, put the laws of commercial policy against his- toric significance and protest against favoring the noble in his economic struggle with the peasant
 How badly off the nobles really are is shown by the fact that at the present time more than 100, 900 estates, or Al per cent. of the whole area of the land owned by nebles, are mortgaged to various government and private land credit institutions, and the amount of money advanced on these estates has reached over $500, ,OOO, 900. of which sum s55O.000.0 GOO still remains owing. In the course of the last five years the in- debtedness of landed estates to private land banks increased by s42. 900. 900, and these banks last year reaped q profit of more than s3.5O0.O00 on these opera tions.
