TO EXTEND THE FIRE.
Glass Men Taking a Vote on the Prop

OsitiOn Owing to Deficit.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, May 19.-According to
the wage scale agreement between the
workers organization and the manufac-
turers, the present blast of the window
glass factories will end on the 18th of June.
A vigorous effort is now being made to ex-
tend the closing time for period of two
weeks, or to June 80. by the manufacture
ers, on account of the shortage of glass.
The two weeks extension would add about
10000 boxes to the sasons output, and 1t
is believed this amount will cover the
deficit till the new blast for 1900 is on. A
vote is being taken by the Indiana pre-
ceptories on the extension of the fire, and it
is generally believed the proposition will
carry
There will be the usual summer shut
down Of the flint and green glass fac
tories. In the prescription branch of the
industry factories must close for two con-
secutive months from the 1st of July TO the
1st of September; in the chimney branch
there must be a suspension of production
for six consecutive weeks, beginning July
]. In all branches of the flint glass indus
try there must be a stop of four consecu-
tive weeks between June Is and Sept. Is.
The National Glass Company, therefore,
will be enabled to keep some of its plants
in operation throughout the year, but each
plant must be closed for the required num-
Der of weeks in the hot months.

or sympathetic strike, said to-day: THE
largest and strongest unions Of the country
are SO guarded by International and local
laws that sympathy strike practically Is
impossible, should even a large percentage
OF the local unions favor II. But there Is
another consideration that with the long
established and influential unions has great
weight. without considering the safeguard
Ing union laws. 1t is this: The very foun-
dalton OF organized labor is its purpose and

the union. having made agreement with
the employer and having no difference with
him, strikes in sympathy with some other
union not affiliated with IL. of what value
Is the agreement? On what ground could
the union base proposition for new
agreement at any future time?
"A sympathy strike by a union which has
no grievance would mean that the union
regarded its agreement with the employer
as binding on the employer only. No real
union man would support that proposition
for a moment. This consideration is as
surance to my mind that. while organized
labor OF ST. Louis will aid the strikers in
every legitimate way-by contributions and
by boycotting street cars-there will be no
general strike.

Water supply to BE Increased.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, May 19.-Because of the
large increase in the consumption Of water
by the city and domestic patrons, the Wa
bash Water Company is forced to enlarge
its facilities for supplying the consumption
fully so per cent. The pumping plant here
has a capacity of 100000 gallons every
twenty-four hours and is now run stead
lily. The suspension of pumping for few
hours empties the standpipe, which holds
100000 gallons, and the strain on the ma
chinery is too great for safety. The pres
ent reservoirs will be used and others built
in the vicinity, while the pumping station
is to be abandoned and a new one con-
structed just south of the Wabash, new
pumps being added. The source of water
supply is now driven wells and a large
number of these are to be drilled, making
a total of eighty wells. The cost OF the i'm
provements will be fully $4,000.
