MORE GLASS TROUBLE.
Other Strikes Threatened, and All
Factories May Soon Be Closed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, March 23.-The window
glass troubles are spreading. There is now
complications on at the Anderson window
glass plant which threaten to shut it down
tomorrow, and at Frankton, this county,
the second plant has been shut down by
strike. The plants at Orestes are still down,
and the troubles on at other points have
not been adjusted, nor does it seem that it
will be possible to do The outlook is
that every plant in the country will be shut
down before the month is over. President
Burnss action in withdrawing from the ar
bitration session at OresteS Monday even
ing aggravated matters, and manufacturers
are now in an attitude to shut up the plants
and give the workers a long rest, in which
they can settle the differences which exist
between them and which are now respon-
sible for the troubles. The manufacturers
are just beginning to get good stocks on
hand and prepare for the summer trade. One
of the considerations of the wage settlement
last fall was that all troubles, if any arose,
should be arbitrated, and the action of
President Burns in withdrawing from the
arbitration which he agreed to is claimed
to be a violation of the understanding and
a matter most annoying to the manufac-
turerS.

Rev. Adams objected. Much hard feeling
was caused by his refusal, and few of them
attended the funeral. Some disputed his
right to refuse such request, and the mat

letter was received from him, stating that
under no circumstances should any society
be allowed to hold services in the church.
He stated that he was a Knight Tempar
