between the wage committees and the man

part of the president that took the breath

Hurrle has won a great point over Burns,
and has set a precedent for the rest of the
independent factories of the country. This
will force the trust to come to an early
agreement with the workers if it does not

Fires May BE Drawn.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 15.-Window- glass
plants throughout the United States failed
to start the seasons operations last mid
night. Fires were banked and may be ex-
tinguished and 1900 workers who have been
looking forward to a general resumption
on Oct. Is, are forced to renain idle. The
strike is for an advance in the wages OF the
cutters and fiatteners, but is really the re-
suit of a. fight between the knights of Labor
and the American Federation of Labor. The
manufacturers say the fires will be kept
banked for a reasonable time, when they
will be extinguished and not relighted until
they are sure to have clear and concise
contract with the workers.

Boston again won the pennant The team
managers mostly have nothing but tales of
woe to tell. There are three notable excep-

These are away ahead financially, but the

add that they expect next season to be a

the heaviest losers is New York. Neither
President Freedman nor Treasurer Mccall

ELWOOD, Ind, Oct. 15-The Elwood
window-glass factories resumed operations
this morning and are working successfully.
They were not able to secure league cutters
and fiatteners, because the scales were not
signed The factories were furnished cut
tiers and fiatteners belonging to L. A. 300
by President Simon Burns. The three fac
tories at Frankton and the large window
glass house at Orestes were unable to start.
They belong to the trust and cannot start
until the cutters and hatteners scales are
satisfactorily adjusted. No more trouble
here is anticipated, as all the men employed
are union and the plant started under the
permission granted by the combine to inde-
pendent firms.

PENDLETON, Ind, Oct. 15-The local
window-glass factories, it is thought, will
get to work the middle Of next week The
Pendleton Window-glass Company expected
to start this morning, but did not, owing to
the disagreement between l.. A. 500 and the
trust. All day to-day tnrongs of earnest
blowers and gatherers have stood in the
streets here discussing the trouble and bit
terly denouncing the fiatteners and cutters
for not accepting the Burns scale. The re-
port from Muncie that Independent factories
will be started by the blowers and gatherers
is declared to be utterly absurd by local
workers The basis for the. opinion that
factories will start next week is that the
fires being lighted. the manufacturers will
be compelled to start or else lose money.
1t is thought in that case the manufacturers
would concede the advance to the cutters
and hatteners and that the blowers and
gatherers, rather than strain the present
good opinion of the public in them, would
go to work
