To Fight Glass Trust,

Cleveland, Dec. 13.-The Plain Dealer
says: THE meeting of the independent
glass manufacturers, which has just come
to close in this city, promises to have a
marked effect upon that industry in the
United States. Practically every inde-
pendent glass manufacturer in the coun-
try attended in person or was represent
ed by proxy at the meeting. The pre-
liminary steps were taken toward the
formation of a strong and complete or
ganization, the purpose of which will be
to force the American Window Glass
company, better known as the window
glass trust, to make terms with the indie
pendent manufacturers. Otherwise a war
to the death will be inaugurated."

: DARING BANK ROBBERS,
-Four Men Defy Capture and Escape
with Thousands.

Shanesville, o., Dec. 13.-Four masked
men, discovered in the act Of dynamiting
the vaults of John Doerschucl's private
bank, drove off all who attempted to in
terfere and got away with between 3d.
600 and $4,000.
An explosion of nitroglycerin awakened
John Rhodes, who lives opposite the
Doerschuck bank. Rhodes saw two men
working at the vault doors, while two
others stood guard at the main entrance
of the bank building. Rhodes, revolver
in hand, rushed into the street and was
met by a volley from the sentinels. He
held his ground, however, until his weap-
on was empty. Mary Knowles, relative
of Banker Doerschuck, heard the shoot
ing and raised window of her room,
only TO draw the fire of the robbers.
Dozens of the inhabitants appeared by
this time, but most of them were unarm-
ed and were forced to conceal themselves
by the shower of bullets which greeted
every newcoSler.
In the course of half an hour the rob-
bers managed to remove the doors of the
vault and pried open the money draw
ers. They hastily dumped all the specie
into bags and, leaving the bank, backed
through the streets to the tracks of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie road. A hand
car was secured, and the men disappear
ed toward Baltic.
A trace of blood was found leading
from the bank. Alarms were sent out in
all directions by the telephone. A few
hours later it was announced that the
handcar had been found abandoned be-
tween here and Baltic. Bloodhounds were
secured, and large posse at once started
on the trail.
1t is believed the gang is the same one
which recently looted bank at Seville.

Carney, who is acting governor in the
absence of Governor Thomas, was wait
ed upon at the capitol by Il committee of
telegraphers, who discussed the strike on
the Santa l1e railway and asked him to

President Ripley:
''ln behalf of the people of the state of
Colorado, after due investigation, the
locked out telegraphers of your railroad
are absolyed from any completely in re-
cent outrages upon certain employees
who have taken the places of the men in
this state. The interests of the people of
the state and the patrons of your road
would be materially subseryed were the
differences existing between the man
agement and the telegraphers submitted
to arbitration and settled as speedily as
possible"
President Garman of the State FEEDER
alton of Labor sent similar request to
the officers of the Santa Fe. Telegraphers
who heard of the action of the two Off
GERS were highly pleased and believed
that good would result from the move
ment.
Governor Carney, who as member Of
the state senate introduced arbitration,
which became law in Colorado, says:
Il have always been in favor of arbi-
tration in settling labor disputes, and
could not hesitate when called upon by
the telegraphers. As a worLingman my
self my sympathy is with the wage
Garner, provided he keeps within the
limits of what is right and lawful.

arbitrated and the entire trouble quickly
