ReslStsd by Manufacturers,
National Glass Budget: Flint bottle
manufacturers are considerably agita-
ted over the action taken Al the zanes-
vile convention Of the A. F. G. w. U.
relative to hours Of labor and wages in
the bottle branch Of the industry, and
insist that they have been made spe-
cIaI target OF and that the demands Of
the union are such as to make 1t impos-
sibie for manufacturers to comply with
them and compete with non-uninn firms
for the trade. The convention instruct
ed their committee which viii meet
manufacturers during the coming week
to demand an eight hour day and to
accept nothing else as well as 10 insist
on a restoration OF the wage scale which
was in force during 1928 which virtu-
ally means an advance In wages OF 22iE
per cent, the change to take effect on
August 5. A prominent manufacturer
in speaking of the matter said that the
demands were simply outrageous and
could not possibly be conceded by man
ufacturers and that If the workers per-
sisted in their unreasonable demands
there was but one Of two things left for
manufacturers TO do which was to get
out Of the business entirely or run their
plants Independent Of the union.
It Is a well-known fact that flint bot
tie manufacturers who have been oper-
ating their plants on a union basis have
been playing very close to the cushion
for years past and that the Czarian
rules Of the union have driven sixty
FIVE per cent OF the manufacturers into
the ranks Of the non-unionist. This
percentage will doubtless be largely in
creased unless a more liberal spirit pre-
walls in the workers organization. 1t
Is claimed that the demand Is not the
will Of the workers union as q body
and that many of the members who are
making good wages under the present
scale, In some instances as much as 81
per day, as well as President. Smith
himself, are opposed to the change,
knowing that the prosperity wave which
Is so much talked Of and on which the
demand is based. has not yet struck the
flint bottle branch very forclbly. From
a common sense or business point OF
view II would seem that II would be
well for the Organization to consider
well what It Is about to do as hasty or
harsh measures are likely to be fol-
lowed by an after-clap which will result
very dlsastrously to that honorable
body. The goadIng Of union Mint bot
tie manufacturers at the present time
IA a decidedly dangerous procedure.

NEW YORK, August l.-Martln
Thorn was put to death In the prison at
Sing Sing. at HI this morning for the
murder OF william Guldensuppe.
Thorn sat up later last night than
was his custom. He talked OF his par.
ents. his boyhood days in Germany and
his first experience In this country. He
showed no nervousness and when he
threw himself on his cot II wns but a
few minutes until he was sound asleep.
Warden Sage, who went to Thorn's
cell early to-day. said to him:
Thorn told me ne was not nervous
and would die bravelg. BE said he was
perfectly reconclled to his fate and that
he had made peace with his God. He
slept well and had no fear OF death.
There Is not the slightest change In his
actions. He ls the same cool man who
came to the prison six months ago. His
nerve Is stronger than that OF any oth-
or murderer who has been In the death
house"
Thorn told one Of his keepers that his
only dread was the walt from the time
he awoke unih ne WAS summoned TO
the chair. The condemned man receiV-
cd the last sacsaments of the Roman
Catholic church.

From Tlt-Blts: The practice Of exact
ing money from a conquered foe is, in
Its present form, somewhat modern. In
ancient times the victor despolIed the
enemy he had overcome. sacked cities
and took whatever Of value he could
carry away. Now ne respects private
property, hut he makes the conquered
nation pay the whole cost OF the war.
In either case the practice Is analogous
to that OF civil courts. which assess
costs upon the defeated party.
The four greatest wars OF the last
thirty-hve years have all been followed
by exactions OF this kind. After Prus-
sla defeated Austria In the seven
weeks war of 1866, she demanded OF
her adversary 100000 thalers, or about
RS00O.0 900 sterling, n modest sum as in
IDENTITIES go. She made similar exac-
tions, also, from the states which al
lied themselves with Austria. This was
in addition to territorial concessions.
Five years later France was defeated
