LABOR'S ANTITRUST FIGHT.

window Glass Workers WIN Contest
Under the Laws of Indiana.
Philadelphia, Aug. 5.-At yesterdays
session of the Window Glass Workers
association convention suits brought
by individual members against varl-
GUS companies to show cause why the
latter's charters shall not be revoked
were ratified The suits are part of the
workers plans to prevent certain large
manufacturing concerns In the state Of
Indiana from selling out to a trust.
There is law In Indiana which makes
it Illegal for corporations chartered by
the state to dispose of their plants to
another corporation operated wholly or
in part without the state of Indiana.
The full strength of the association
has been pledged to bring the suits to
successful issue. President Simon
Burns, of the Glass Workers associa-
tiol, said:
1--WE have taken an entirely new de-
parture, and instead of waiting for the
trusts to fight us we have determined
to fight them" The matter, he said,
had been given careful consideration
by the association, and 1t was thought
at one time to attack the trusts in
New Jersey. This was subsequently
recOnsidered, and Indiana selected as
the battle ground by reason of the fact
that the antitrust law of that state
affords the best aid for a successful
contest.
