The Pittsburg Times of Sept 2l says:
''The new L. A. 300. window glass
blowers and gatherers, has increased
its membership to over 800 men dur
ing the present week. The men are
drifting away from the Window Glass
Workers Association, of which Simon
Burns is president, and are accepting
the scale and joining hands with the
other trades in the independent plants
The window glass flatteners have re-
ported the only break in their ranks
which is given out in a circular letter
issued by President George l.. Cake.
The men numberfour They are named
and Mr.. Cake says that they broke away
and went to work in the factory Of the
Camp Glass company at Smethport.
The Smethport Window Glass Com
pany has been standing with the Inde-
pendent Window Glass Manufacturers
association and refused to sign the scale
of President Simon Burns. The result
was the blowers and gatherers there re-
fused to work. Yesterday the company
secured large number of blowers from
the new L. A. 300 organization, who
were at Kane. waiting for the plants
there to begin, The Smethport works
then began blowing glass at once, They
have full force of natteners and cut
ters also A dispatch from Kane last
night says that the combine factory
there, which has 96 pots has only l6
blowers at work and three hatteners.
Throughout the entire district of Kane
it is said that the independent manufac-
turers are working without a hitch and
have all the men they need"
The following communication signed
by August Boulanger, general manager
of the Star Glass Co. OF this place, ap-
peared in the COmmoner and Glass
lCOrkor last week:
after mature deliberation we signed
the anti-Burns scale, because we consid-
cred that the right side to take in the
pending controversy. The presence of
Burns representative in our town,
and the liberal use Of his fat pocketbook,
had some effect upon the men whom |
had under contract, and rs of them
showed the white feather and left us,
but in spite of this we started with is
blowers and full crew Of tlatteners and
cutters We now have - blowers, all
making good money and all contented
and happy.
In long experience ] have never
seen better glass than we are turning
out and the fire not ten days old yet.
The first cylinder was good 'llrst-qual-
ity' glass, and II anything, the quality
improves as the fire goes on. Every de-
partment of the factory is now in opera
tion and we look for successful year.
We want it distinctly understood that
