VIII Demand Pay whether They La
Dor or Not--Boy Arrested for COun-
terfeiting-Other State News.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 1.-Muncie window
glass workers held meeting this AFTER
noon to take steps with reference to the
idea of appearing daily at the two big fac
tories for work. and then sue the company
for each days time they loose. No definite
decision was reached. The difficulties In
the organization leading up to the present
troubled state of affairs in what was few
years ago the strongest labor union in the
world are interesting, and were given in
detail by a veteran workman to-day.
The beginning of the trouble started three
years ago, when the cutters and fiatteners
pulled away from the organization and took
membership with the Federation Of Labor.
The differences then were created by d.
versity of opinion as to wages, the cutters
and fatteners believing that President
Burns, who represented the four trades,
and was blower himself, was ruling In
favor of the blowers and gatherers- The
dissatisfaction that existed was discovered,
and the blowers and gatherers made a
proposition to give the cutters and fiatten-
ers 5000 of the fund on hand in l.. A. 300
if they would leave the organization. The
proposition was accepted, and for two years
the two trades have been members of diff
ferent trades unions.
The different organizations, all Of which
four trades are essential in the production
of window glass. 1t being impossible for
one trade to work without the other, have
worked peacefully until the time came for
the settlement of wages for the coming fire.
Previous to this last development yester-
day afternoon there was a meeting of all
vote on the question of appropriating
money to import fatteners in this country
from Belgium, where the on a
strike, and let them fill the places of the
Cake men. About $1,000 is to be appropri-
ated to this fund. and the information is
that the two Muncie preceptories voted
unanimously in favor of the idea. and likely
This is done for the reason that L. A 300
deems the demands of President Cake un-
just in the extreme. President Burns was
telegraphed the result Of the Muncie vote.
and no time will be lost in securing the
men to fill the vacant places. and until this
time the factories may stand idle.
1t is understood that the cutters are glad
and this opportunity will be given them,
and this will bridge over the trouble with
this class, if predictions come true, and
with the fiatteners from Belgium, IL. A. 300
will be the organization of old, and Mr..
Cake will be left out and work will go right
along
