Following the presentation of the man.
ufacturers' propositions, Mr.. Burns stat
ed that if that was all that the manufac-
turers had to offer the meeting had better
adjourn. An adjournment was taken,
sine die accordingly. Mr.. Burns then
STATED that he would have the independ-
Ient factories start on September Is.
President Chambers of the American
Glass Co., to- day authorized the follow
ing statement: "Mr. Burns does not
know. or pretends that he does not know
that number of the Independents are
epresented by us in regard to the SET
thing of the wage scale, etc. We are aware,
however, that instead of 600 pots, which
he boasts he will start on September Is.
there will not be over 300, and perhaps
not over $50 pots that will start at that
time, provided that all not represented by
us were to start at his behest. As mat
ter of fact large number cannot STAR
without the sanction and cooperation of
the cutters and fiatteners' organizations.
judging from past experiences these
trades are not likely to give Mr.. Burns
and his bodyguard their support. They
are officered by men of good common
sense and practical experience and are
altogether likely to consult the best inter-
ests of their organizations, rather than
cater to the advantage of small percent
age of L A. 300 members.
cat all events, if Mr.. Burns carries out
his threat to the limit of his ability, there
will be over 80 per cent. of the workers
OF his organization whose time of starting
and stopping will be controlled by the
American Glass Co., and if they are
foolish enough to refuse an increase in
wages and take chances of getting lower
wages than last blast in order to allow
less than 10 per cent. of their trade to GO
work, will be very much mistaken.
No effort has been made as yet to pave
the way into another conference. The

The Tomato Pack.

ELMER, Aug. 2l.-According to the
statements from leading farmers of South
Jersey the late tomato crop will suffer
considerably from blight, heavy rains
and winds and the lice plague. In some
sections of Salem county the crop is
almost entirely ruined, while in this vicin-
ity fair yield is expected. Several of
the factories had their first run of toma-
toes last week.
The Gamers this year are paying from
so cents is 81 more per ton than last year.
which is quite an item to the growers,
and means in the aggregate several thous-
and dollars more in profits. 1t is con.
ceded by the Gamers that to make any
profits this year higher prices must pre-
vail for canned goods.

noon in Philadelphia and Work
Will Begin Very Soon,
Whlle the counsel for the Cumberland
GLASS Company was in Camden yester.
DAY, endeavoring to obtain an Injunction
against the Green Bottle Blowers Asso-
citation before Vice Chancellor Reed. the
representatives of the Cohansey Glass
company were in Philadelphia with
PRESIDENT Hayes, of the Association. ad
Justlng the differences between the com.
pany and the workmen, and agreeing to
operate Inc factory in the future upon the
broad union scale.
1t was shortly after noon Monday
when the settlement was made, and word
was Immediately sent to this city. There
was great rejoicing among the work men.
and fully as much satisfaction was ex-
pressed by citizens generally, especially
among the business men.
The settlement arrived at Monday.
means that the Cohansey Company will
start work with eighty-eight union blow
ers on the second day of September, and
other furnaces will be operated as soon
thereafter, as can be arranged. 1t also
means that the big window tank can and
will be operated just as soon as the
Window Association and manufacturers
agree upon the wage scale.
The mists have begun to dissolve. and
there is lutte doubt now that the in
dustrial troubles that have been menac
ing the town, will soon end. With Glass
boro, Clayton, Medford, Elmer and the
big Cohansey works here in the union.
there are but two companies of conse-
quence that still remain in opposition to
the organization.
There is no doubt but that the pros-
perity of Bridgeton depends largely
upon the glass industry. There is no
denying the fact that many men EN-
barked in business here, and invested
considerable capital because of the oper.
alton of these glass plants, and if they
should not be operated during the coming
blast, especially with the great and pros
porous boom now existing in the glass
business, there would be great losses
upon the part of the business community.
The Cohansey Company has paved the
way for settlement of all troubles, If
Ibis company can successfully operate a
union plant in Bridgeton, other factories
anbe operated under the same system.
The town would be great deal better
off under a union system. Bridgeton
has some of the largest and most enter
prising plants in the country. If the
men employed in them would receive
uniform wages based upon the union
scale, the best men of the trade would be
engaged here, snd the town would take
on success that has never been ours.
Other great plants are successful under
the union system; would it not be we'll if
it was given trial here? Non-unionism
has had trial here for ten or twelve
years, and certainly not with the best
results. Why not give the other con.
dition test, of say one blast, at least.
The PIONEER has and does contend,that
there is fair ground upon which the
manufacturers and employees can stand
The Cohansey Company has found it.
Cannot the others find firm footing.

His Opinion on StrinEinE Wires Sus-
tanned by Attorney Duvan.
In connection with an application from
the Chesapeake and Ohio Telephone Com
pany for permission TO string two wires in
Twenty fifth Street the District Commis-
sioners have placed themselves on record
as being opposed to such construction, fear
ing that the privilege might lead to an in
discriminate stringing of wires throughout
the District. The action Of the Commits
sioners in this respect was taken only after
they had received several opinions from
their attorneys and given the subject many
months due consideration. The applica-
tion was made in November of last year.
The Commissioners were not at that time
certain of their authority to grant the re-
quest, and referred the matter to Sydney
7. Thomas, former Attorney for the Dis
trict, then in Office, receiving from him an
opinion to the effect that the telephone
company was entitled to the permit. This
was given by the District authorities and
the wires were subsequently strung.
District Commissioner Ross was absent
at the time. The telephone company at er-
ward made another application for permis-
sion 10 string two wires from point on
New York Avenue, between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth Streets northwest, using
Western poles, to Eighteenth Street, and
thence to B Street, for the purpose of fur

Ross Immediately opposed such proceed
ings. He stated that he could not agree
with the construction of the law set forth
by Attorney Thomas, and recommended
that the entire matter be referred to the
new Attorney for the District. Andrew B.
Duvall, with the result that the latter SUBJ
mitted an opinion yesterday upholding the

1t is claimed by watermelon growers
that the present season will show little II
any profit to them. Some growers will
realize small profits and others will not
realize the cost of growing. the balance be-
ing somewhat on the loss side. This is
especially true of the Georgia melon crop,
which has been the largest on record. Mel
ons were TO be in season for some weeks to
come, but II is said that so far as heavy
receipts are concerned the season is prac-
t'oally over. Fairly accurate estimates as
TO the crop are possible, therefore The
early crop from Florida was considerably
smaller than usual, owing to the backward
spring. While the acreage was larger, the
yield was smaller. The Georgia crop was
immense, $500 carloads. large part of
which came North in June and July The
local market at present is supplied largely
from Virginia, Maryland, Delaware. and
New Jersey, the greater part of the fruit
for Washington coming from Maryland.
The trouble of low prices began In June
and July. when the immense Georgia crop
was shipped. The market was glutted and
buyers would pay only the smallest prices
for the melons, which are the most perish
able of all fruits. Some stock sold in this
market as low as So per 100, and from So
per 100 to S. was frequently a fair price.
The Maryland and Virginia crops have
been large, also, though the glut has not
been so great. Both are of excellent quail
ity, large, and in fine condition. The local
growers generally will fare better than the
Georgia growers
