Glass Trust Has 70 Abolish Rsbases 10 save
Itself Awe.
Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE existence of the
window glass trust is seriously threat
ened and it is probable that the two
organizations that have dictated prices
since their organization-the Western
Window Glass company and the Pitts
burg Window Glass company-will have
to materially change their policy or
they will no longer be able to dictate prices
as formerly. At the last regular month";
ly meeting conference was held with
the leading jobbers and a rebate system
arranged that was thought satisfactory
to all. The ink was scarcely dry on the
agreement before the jobbers realized
that they had gone into a plan that
would offer them no relief. The jobbers
held their peace. but one and all re-
fused to buy under the system.
The manufacturers went on producing
with the result that they now have an
accumulation of stock which the Job
bers will not touch, while the jobbers
themselves are looking to foreign manu.
facturers for supplies. Alarmed at this
condition OF affairs the Western Window
Glass company and the Pittsburg COM
pany called meeting of their execu-
tive committee here yesterday at which
1t was decided to abolish the rebate sys-
tenn entirely and go back to the old dead
level of prices. The rate will be good
until Feb. %, after which a raise of 2h
per cent. will be made.
