refused to rent IL 10 him. Hayes then
tried to rent the ampitheater at the fair
grounds. but again Mr.. Main was too much
for him.. and the fair grounds could not
be obtained. Mr.. Main employs about
thirty-five blowers, who are turning out
fruit jars at just about one-half the wage
that union men would get. 1t is the only
factory of any size in the town, and gives
steady employment for about eleven months
OF the year. The business men of Swayzee
are divided; some are for union rates and
others urging the men to stand fast. Some
or the merchants nave even refused to talk
on the subject. This is the only glass fac
tory Of its kind in Indiana that is running
outside Of the union.
