fishing Obscene Matter.


CHICAGO, Illinois, August H.
Special committees Of the Window
Glass Workers association and OF the
National Manufacturers association,
are in joint session here, to-day, with
the view Of agreeing upon general
wage scale. The wage commitiee OF
the Workers association held a week Is
session in Philadelphia. last month,
tut came to no d. finite conclusion con-
cerning Its demands owing to the
action of the manufacturers In asking
for lint conference, to commence,
to. day. The price OF window glass has
been advanced over 10 per cent. within
the last thirty days and hence the
manufacturers cannot we'll Withstand
the damand for an increase in the
scale.
TIE Manufacturers association some
time ago agreed to give the workers
substantial increase of 10 or more per
cent. ~hea then the new tariff went
into operation, and the wage committee
will insist upon this promise being fal-
filled. The committee numbers twenty
four, coming from tho three sections OF
the country These represent 9, 1000
union workers, while the outcome of
the conference will .ffsct % 900 men
who work at the trade but do not
belong to the union.
Growing out of the scale, several
other matters are to be considered.
Relative to the introduction OF labor
saving machinery, the workers insist
that, were such machinery introduced,
the workmen shall be guaranteed
against any loss of wages during ex-
perimental stages. The adjustment OF
the wages scale upon basis that shall
more nearly equalIze the wages Of the
different classes of skilled workmep, is
llso demanded.
The workmen are now classified as
blowers, gatherers, fiatteners and cut
ers. Under the existing scale, tae |
wages OF the blowers and gatherers are
lower than those OF The
ther two classes, and it Is proposed to
make them more uniform.
