GLASS FAMINE FEARED
ONLY -FOUR WINDOW PLANTS IN THE
COUNTRY IN OPERATION.
State Federation of Labor Meets at
Marion acknowledgements Joe
Horton Captured.

Srecial to the indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE window
glass trouble is becoming more aggravated
The stand of the blowers and gatherers,
who now control the original Window-glass
Workers Association from which the fiat
teners and cutters withdrew and established
their own national unions, is set forth by
the following statement by President Burns:
THE plants at Ithaca, N. Y, were fired
the other day, as the firm had signed the
scale submitted 20 them by our organlZa-
ton. They had been working one day,
however, when it learned that the firm
had also signed the scale of the fiatteners
and cutters, which they had submitted in
dependently of our organization. The MEM
bership of the Window-glass Workers AS
ISOLATION recognizes no scale but their own,
and as soon as we learned that the nrm
had signed the other scale we called our
men out and the plant is now idle. The
cutters and f1attenerS had no right TO with
draw from our organization and we will not
recognize them as a separate body. There
are only four plants running, those at Cow
ington. Pa. Belefonte, Pa, Elwooda Ind,
and Wilmington, Del, and in all of these
our scale alone is signed and recognized.
Several others are about ready to start, but
the. present difficulties, with the hatteners
and cutters is a partial hindrance.
The fatteners and cutters insist that their
scale must be signed. They are Independent
organizations If it is not signed they will
not return to work Thus the window
glass market is tied up and a glass famine
is threatened. The plants referred to by
Burns represent only forty of the LOO pots
in the Nation. Their output is but fifteen
thousand boxes per month. Imports have
never amounted to more than 100000 boxes
per month, even in the years of greatest
building activity. They have latterly fallen
to 42.O0) boxes per month. The product of
Belgian glass factories has decreased fully
one-thrd since last July. The coal miners
national organization in Belgium has given
notice of demand for a is per cent. adj
vance, or a general strike will be declared
in November. Everything points to lower
imports. The stocks in manufacturers
hands are small and considerably broken.
The average normal consumption of the
country is 100000 boxes per month. The
available supply, consisting of present do
nestle product and imports. is less than
100000 boxes per month Stocks in manu-
facturers hands cannot possibly exceed
100000 boxes at the present time. 1t is
safe to predict that there will be no general
resumption during the month of October.
The Mailer Glass Company, Dubois Pa,
reported last week as having signed the
scale will not resume till a general settle
ment has been reached. From these facts
it is clear that window glass will be scarce
by the end of the present month, and de-
sirable sizes of good quality Will be at
premium.

TRACY AND THURSTON.
Speeches i'm Behalf of the Republican
Ticket of Greater New York.


NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Gen Benz. F..
Tracy, former secretary of the navy, and
candidate for the office of mayor of Greater
New York. was the leading orator at the
first Republican mass meeting held in
Brooklyn at the Academy of Music on Mon
tague street tonight There was a large
attendance. General Tracy, as he rose to
deliver his address, was tne recipient of
applause which lasted several minutes.
Mr.. Tracy referred to Tammany Hall and
Organism as the chief opposing forces of
the Republicans in this campaign. He re-
ferred to Henry George as a candidate on
the platform of Organism. There was still
another party which had made it's appear
ance as a separate and Independent party
for the first time in its history-the party
known as the Citizens Union of which Mr..
Low was leader. Mr.. Tracy devoted his
time to the discussion of the Citizens
Union, and, among other things, he said:
THE success of the Citizens Union here is
the destruction of the Republican party If
Mr.. Low is elected, of course all the influ-
ence of that great office will be used to IN
SlSt on citizens government at every
municipal election The Republican party
Will be called upon to disband, to disinte-
CRATE, to dissolve ourselves into our indi-
V1dual capacities and to act as individuals
we Will not be permitted to act as or
ganiZation."
Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska,
was the next speaker. He closed by saying
There will be no more Republican Presi-
dents of the United States in your life or
mine, may be, unless you elect Benjamin t.
Tracy: This is no local issue; it may, and
1t Will, affect the political control of this
country for years to come. 1t will make
the work of the Republican party harder
in every campaign. 1t may once more re-
tire to the outcome of uncertainty and
doubt the great business, industrial and
commercial interests of this country"
Paul Goebel has been selected to succeed
Richard H. Adams as the Citizens Union
nominee for register. Mr.. Goebel is a
lawyer, is president of the Liederkranz a
member of the German Reform Union and
a member of the Citizens Union organiza-
ton committee.

Nothing New But the Name.

CHICAGO. Oct. 11.-"Der Wurst Fabri-
kant Won Lakeview." otherwise THE Sau-
sage Maker of Lakeview," which was adj
vertised as a dramatization of the Luetgert
murder case, proved a veritable gold mine
for its producer last night The aisleways,
chairs, boxes, beer tables and everything
else around the hall where a man or woman
could sit were occupied. And it turned out
that there is nothing new to the play but
the name. The manager of the little Ger
man theater saw an opportunity to catch
the public eye and he exchanged the name
of the familiar German comedy by Blumen-
thai and Kahlburg, known in English as
1.-THE Two Escutcheons." The smart thing
III this is appreciated when ii is remembered
that in the comedy as it stands in the orig
anal the central male character is a manu-
Sacturer of sausage and halls from Chicago.
Adolph l.. Luetgert and his cellmate. Mic
Marzen, who is under sentence of death for
murder, helped make up a congregation of
400 male prisoners at the Jail last night who
took part in Christian meeting.

MAY rNDoRsE MCULLOCH.
Probable Action of State Federation
of Labor To-Day.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Oct 11.-Muncie will send
more than twenty delegates to the annual
meeting of the State Federation of Labor
at Marion tomorrow and the indications
are that there will be more than two hun
dred delegates present to consider the i'm
portant points that will probably be dis
cussed. For some time there has been a
strong inclination among the local labor
unions to right the wrong impression that
has been formed by connecting the name of
Chairman George +. McCulloch, of the Re
publican state central committee, with the
management of the nonuniOn Whitley NAL
leable Castings Company of this city. The
report was circulated broadcast with a view
of picturing the head of the committee as
antagonistic to the cause of organized labor.
The facts are that Mr.. McCulloch owns no
stock in the company, much less having a
voice in its management, and the reason
that his name appears as a member OF the
board of directors was for personal reason
and to fill out the board. Mr.. McCulloch
is at the head of the Muncie Electric
Street-railway Company, and the employees
of this company have long since had one of
the strongest labor unions in the city, and
will have representatives at the meeting to-
morrow. Very likely set of resolutions in
dorsing Mr.. McCulloch will be adopted, as
there is disposition among the local men
selected to have such step taken.

An AshersviIIe Tragedy.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL Ind, Oct. ia serious shoot
ing ARRAY occurred at Ashersville last
night, in which Mrs George Church and
Lewis Quinn were badly wounded. Quinn
and Church are neighboring farmers, and
it is alleged that the trouble last night
was the result of a long standing feud
Quinn was at Churchs house and the two
quarreled. Quinn quickly drew his re-
volver and fired two shots at Mrs. Church.
One bullet struck her on the side of the
head, inflicting an ugly wound. The other
bullet struck her just above the heart and
would have caused instant death had not
a corset stay stopped it's force. BY this
as Quinn was retreating shot him in the
back, most of the. charge lodging in the
region of the hips The excitement is
both of the parties implicated are respecta-
BILE citizens.
