men only or against any union employe,
and that all employees shall be reinstated.
The reply of the association is that it
will not discriminate against unions,
and that the men can resume work.

obeyng orders and submitting grievances
to their employers, promise not to at
tempt to coerce employees to join unions

which the steel combine had arranged
to start here several days ago. A suill-

GLASS MEN DISCUSS RULES.
Fsctory Regulations Occupied the
Attention of Confer ence Yesterday

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 1.--Factory
rules continued today to occupy tile at
tcntion of the wage committee of the
National Green Glass Bottle Manufac-
turers' Association and the Green Glass
Blowers Union. The entire morning
session was consumed in the discussion
of the working Of men in pairs and
threcs on certain grades of bottles. Two
and three men are required to blow
some of the bottles, and it has been the
custom to engage tending boy" on
ware above twenty-four ounces. The
"tendng boy" carries the glass from the
fire to the blower.
The manufacturers committee today
made a proposal to dispense with tho
boys on bottles under thirty.two ounces
and employ another man on the work.
The blowers objected to this on the
ground that the labor Is not sufficiently
renunerative. and that few men would
undertake to do the work for the small
wages paid
No decision was reached and the rule
was again taken up at the afternoon ses-
sion.

WHY POUNDS ARE STERLING" Business men are always talking about so many pounds sterling; yet probably not one per cent. of them are aware of the origin of the term. It dates back to the time of Richard Occur de Lion. when money coined in the east part of Germany came into special re- quest in this country on account of it's purity, and was called Easterling mon- ey, because in those days all the inhab itants of those parts were called Easter lings. In the course of time some of these Germans were brought to London, and the pieces they minted soon became known as sterling from the word East erling.-London Express.
