GLASS WORKERS FOR MKINLEF
WHAT THEY LOST UNDER WILSON BILL RE-
STORED UNDER DINGLEY TARIFF
WILL PROTECT THEMSELVES,

Baltimore. Sept. , Cspecian.-William Peck, Of
this city. a leader in the Glass Workers Union,
to-day gave the reason why the thousands of
glass workers in the United States intend TO vote
for Mckinley. He said:
The question of party does not enter into It. It
IS purely matter of self-interest, and the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans of our union are united on
this matter Why we for Mckinley? Because
we are convinced that In this direction lies our
bead and butter. The glass business is In
most hourishing condition. l belong To the Glass
Bottle Blowers Association. and our business Is
rushing The demand from Cuba. Porto Rico the
PHILIPPINES and China has vastly stimulated the
bottle trade. Our wages have been raised 10 per
cent in the last years, per cent last year and
per cent this year. just restoring the cut that
was made under the Democratic Administration
in 1898. There not enough blowers to NIL the
places. and where formerly there was one ap-
prentice 10 every fifteen men we now have one TO
every ten.
To put the matter in a nutshell. under the Demo-
cratic Administration and the Wilson bin we were
dCcked 10 per cent in our wages and had employ
ment for only about three months In the year,
Under McKinley's Administration and the Dtngley
bill our wages have been raised Is per cent and we
have employment ten months In the year. That Is
the reason why the glass going to vote
for Mckinley This Is the state of affairs In all
branches Of the glass trade all over the country.
