WELLSBURG, W VA, September
22.-The Brooke Trades and Labor AS
sembly met last evening in K. of P. hall
and transacted some very weighty bust
ness. Several matters relative to the
strike now on at the Eagle glass works
were brought up. Nothing definite was
done, further than sanction the action
of the Flint glass workers in their fight
for right and justice, and to lend them
every possible assistance. The matter
of one of our local papers stating the
Eagle had started up with six shops
I was branded as falsehood, whether in
territorial or otherwise. The truth in
this regard is only three shops were or,
and these only a part of the time, and
run by men WHO have no knowledge of
glass making whatever Not one man
who worked In this factory before the
strike went back to work. The union
men are very well satisfied with the
state of affairs ats they now exist, and
are confident they can win. The griev-
ance that existed between the Bon Ton
Store and the Trades Assembly having
been amicably settled, the store was
placed on the fair list, and each local
instructed to make the matter as pub
lttdiIy hlOWn DIS DOSSIDlt. Ht dTDl-
tration committee having received the
final stand taken by w. A. Webster, the
Charles street barber, reported him on
the unfair list which report was unan-
imOusly received by the Assembly, and
each local instructed to notify it's mem
bers.
