UNJUST ASPERSIONS
Cast Upon the Workers at the North
Wheeling Glass Works 4 Card
from Tie men in KetmtatiOn.

q
Wheeling Glass Works a Card
from TIE men in Rctutation.
The IntelllgeRcer takes pleasure In
publishing the following card from the
workmen employed at the North
Wheeling glass works in which un-
just aspersions cast upon the men by
a trade journal are refuted:
The Crockery and Glass Journal OF
recent issue advised Wellsburg people
to be careful of encouraging our coming
to Wellsburg; that we had caused the
strike at the North Wheeling glass
works; that we were trade unionists:
that 4 repetition OF the destruction OF
the Buckeye works at Martins Ferry
only awaited our coming to Wellsburg:
that peace among the industrials OF
that quiet town would certainly DC at
an end when We arrived.
This Slur on our manhood and the
general charge of bad citizenship are
not sustained by the facts, nor would
they be given any credence by North
End people.
The editor has certainly willfully ana
wildly misrercsented the truth about
the strike at the North End works.
The strike was caused by the morgan
lied small help. True we are trade
unIonists. and have been employed rs
such for the last fourteen years ut the
North Wheeling glass works. and we
have no remembrance Of any local
strike ut our place during this time. nor
any disturbance In ,he factory caused
by US that would Justify the implied
statement mat we were incendlaries.
maicontcnts or generally eril-d!sposed
persons,
The imputation Is that trade unions
are the cause OF strikes. We would
like to have the editor mention one
union bottle manufacturing house on
n strike at this time. while we know mt
least twenty non-union houses on strike
and know Of mutteriHss Of discomfort
In many more. The facts are these
unions are organized and maintained to
prevent strikes as much as for any
other object.

BIDS FOR ARMoR ASKED.
The Secretary of the Navy Will In
yite proDOsaIs

The Secretary of the Navy will shortly
issue circular inviting bids for armor for
the battleship Maine and the four monitors
authorized last spring, and the three battle
ships and three armored cruisers authorized
by the naval appropriation bill The circular
has been drawn with great care and offers
the most advantageous terms for the con-
sideration of any concern which may be
willing to undertake the manufacture of
armor at the price of $500 per ton. which
was the price fixed by the act
1t will be remembered that the armor
plate companies declined to bid two years
ago when similar price was fixed, and un-
der the stress of war eXigencies Congress
increased the price to S4uO for the armor
tor the ships under course of construction
and those authorized by the act Of ISIS
The armor for the battleship Maine and the
TOUR monitors authorized by that act for
which the price is fixed at S4UU amounting
approximately to 10000 tons is to be in
Guided IN this bid, together with about
IL 900 tons for the three battleships and the
three armored cruisers authorized in the
last act, making total OF about ~ UGU tons
at mean cost of about $3.50 per ton. The
enormous amount of this contract involving
about $S0O0.n0, together with the post-
poned time of delivery, which ranges from
one to three years. will offer a great in
ducement, 1t is thought, to the acceptance
OF contract. The ballstic tests of the
armor advertised for are of the highest
ana, though the krupp process is not spe-
clncaily mentioned. the tests practically
call for krupp armor.

NAVAL PERSONNEL ACT.
Construction of the Measure by the
Department..

The Navy Department has construed the
sections of the naval personnel bill relating
to naval cadets appointed 10 the Marine
Corps, and as to promotions of retired men.
AS to cadets, it is held that members of
the class of naval cadets now at sea who
may hereafter be appointed second lieu
tenants will take rank after officers who in
the meantime may be carried from the
three classes of appointments named in
the law, to wit, those who are serving or
who have served as second lieutenants in
the Marine Corps during the war with
Spain; meritorious non-commissioned Off
GERS OF the Marine Corps, or persons ap-
pointed from civil life
The decision as to promotions on the re-
tired list was made on the application of
Boatswain Nash for promotion under the
personnel bill. The department holds that
the law of 1882, that there shall be no fur
ther promotions on the retired list is still
in force, and unaffected by the personnel
bill.
