ton, to the number of two hundred repre-
senting the blowers and gatherers in the
two Muncie factories, met this morning, but
the object of the meeting cannot be learned,
the men saying that they simply assembled
to discuss the situation and inform those
of the members who are not posted. There
are reasons to believe that Fl vote was
taken and that by big majority it was
decided to stand by the officers of the or
ganization. Many expressed hope that
President Burns would not be reelected.
They believe that if Getsinger, the second
man in the race, be elected the trouble will
be bridged and work resumed in the fac
tories throughout the country. A we'll
known blower this morning explained the
situation aJfollows:
You see, they force the blowers and
gatherers TO pay the snapper boys out of
their own pockets. If the snapper boy
works 1t enables us blowers to make a
greater amount of glass during each fire.
The cutter and Hatcher are paid proper
ton on the wages we earn. consequently
the more glass we turn out the more they
make. To get this big output we are com
PEELED to go down in our pockets each
month for from $40 to $50, while the cutters
and hatteners are under no obligations and
pay HOlHlHS. W0ell the manufacturers
granted our small increase a few months
ago it was with the understanding that the
increase was to make up for the wages we
have been paying the snapper boys and
that the cutters and fiatteners were to work
for last years scale. This was perfectly
satisfactory to US. and we could not kick
on paying the snapper, but later when the
same manufacturer settled with the cut
ters and f1atteners they were given as much
or more of an increase than we got. and
they desire us to continue to pay the boys.

years old, and had been in charge of the
parish at GAINESVILLE over forty years. About
four years ago he celebrated his golden jubi-

occasion of the gathering of many priests
from southern Indiana. The bells of St.
Mary's and Holy Trinity churches, in this
city, were tolled when news of his death
was received.
