INDIANA TO LOSE INDUSTRIES.
Five Glass Plants In That State to Go Into
Pittsburg's District.

Pittsburg. July 23.-Henry c. Fry,
president of the National Glass COM
pany, announces that one of the re-
suits following the annual conference
of the officials and statesmen of that
company at Chautauqua will be the
removal of the five plants of the COM
pany from Indiana to the Pittsburg
district. The removal will be effected
as soon as proper sites can be secured.
Negotiations now pending indicate
that they will be located in the Ohio
valley, near this city. The plants TO be
removed are now at Summitville,
GreentOwn, Dunkirk, Marion and AL
bany, Ind.
They will bring to this section over
5000 workmen. The reasons given by
Fry for the change are threefold. First,
the supply of natural gas in Indiana
Is diminishing and cannot be depended
upon; second. Pttsburg gas Is better,
and should it fail other fuel is of easy
access; third, the Ohio river provides
unusual facilities for reaching the
southern markets.
