GLASS TRUST DEFIED

light AGAINST INSTRUCTIONS.
Manufacturers' Association Threatens
to Take Revenge and Force the

pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 30.-It developed to-
day that at the regular meeting of the
Western Window-glass Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION yesterday the sole topic of dis
cussion was the proposition of the Eiwood
Window-glass Company to start to work
tomorrow At a recent meeting of the
workers association it was decided to pre-
sent a separate scale to each manufac-
turer and if he desired to start his factory
he could sign it, as the iron and steel
workers have. The Elwood company ac-
copied the scale and decided to start work
tomorrow. One of the participants in the
manufacturers meeting says that if the
start is permitted it may disrupt the or
ganization, and that desperate means will
be reSorted to to prevent it, 1t is claimed
that an Elwood banker holds a $4,000
mortage on the Elwood plant, and the
manufacturers will attempt to make their
point through this man and declare If
necessary, they will tie up the plant. The
workers are anxious for the, factory to
start on the other end to help them In
their demand for more wages.
A dispatch from Elwood tonight says:
The Elwood window,-glass Company melted
glass to-day and will begin blowing at mid
night. There was some talk of the aSsocla-
ton trying to prevent the plant from start
ing, but so far as known no attempt was
made. The company has determined to
start independent and will run that way.
It is limited that one Of the reasons why
the Elwood plant decided to start indie
pendent was that the manufacturers assoc
ton did not treat this company last year
very fair and they decided to try it alone.
Another dispatch from Anderson says:
The manufacturers trust has decided not
to give in. The officers state they will use
means which will make it most unproft-
able for the Elwood company to operate
and claim that they are in a position to
do this. They virtually agreed not to open
the plants in this State before Dec. 1. The
vote was unanimous They will make a
fight to a finish for the 10 per cent. cut
they have demanded of the gatherers and
the bolwers, but the union is just as de-
cided in its stand.

The British Museum Library.

Sir j.. Maunde Thompson gives some
figures to show the extent of the library
of printed books at the British museum
and the rate Of increase ut which il has
grown More than half century after
the foundation of the museum the IL
brary had not increased even thrcefOld.
In the year 1921 there were less than
ll6, 900 volumes But 20 years had not
elapsed when these had more than dou-
bled in number. In 1888 there were
computed TO be 235, 900 volumes in the
department. Twenty years later these
again had more than doubled. In 1858
there We're $50, 600 volumes. Having
once obtained an impetus, the mass rap
idly increased, and at this moment the
number of volumes is calculated 20
amount to the enormous total of !, $780,
900, not counting single sheets or parts
of works that are accommodating.
The space which this mass of printed
material occupies has to BE- reckoned in
miles The shelves Of the reading room
and iron galleries constructed around it,
which are known as the new library,
all told, extend To more than eight and
twenty miles; those in the rest of the
department to IL miles. 1t may be no.
ticed that this total IF 80 miles is nearly
the same as that Of the shelving of the
French National library, according tore
cent calculations. The prospect of in
crease of this mileage may be viewed
with comparative equanimitv in con-
nection with the Storage Of the ordinary
"rt4FuS Of literature, but when un. r,u-
temllaltS the raDid urlNyfh af faXy-tt.-
pcTs the limits Of ihe. available space
within the present buildings are almost
within sight. ht.-Westminster Gazette.
