plate factories in the country will close.
The conference OF manufacturers and
workmen's wage committees will begin at
Pittsburg next Saturday.
All the union window glass factories are
preparing TO close down Wednesday of
this week for reimbursement of the wage
scale. on account of the factioual fight
between the glowers and sathersrs on one
side and the cutters and flattencrs on the
other. some delay in settlement is antici-
pated. Among the union flint bottle mana
ufacturers there will be no shutdown as
usual the information being given out the
union would sacrifice their vacation In or
der to fight the non-union plants which do
rot close The window glass shutdown will
