GLASS FURNACES TO CLOSE
Report That Trust Will Force
Early Shut Down.
Workmen in This City Agitated Over
the Rumor-Local Company
Not in Combine.


The window glass workers in this city
are agitated over the report, that the
Window Glass Trust will tprce the
manufacturer to close down at an early
date. The men in this city are all en-
ployed by the Christiana Window Glass
Company. 1t is not q ineuilas' of the
trust. While it is an Independent con
cern it is known to the trade as co
operative company. The men work
under the same wage scale as those en-
ployed by the trust. The furnaces
start and are closed down about the
same time.
NJ. ]. Byrne Of the local company was
seen last evening and asked concerning
4 report that the local company would
close down in furnaces earlier than usual
He said that nothing was settled and
that he did not wish to discuss the mat
ter.
The determination of the Window
Glass Trust to limit the production. by
closing down the furnaces at an early
late. will most likely cause n marked
increase in prices. Tt is customary to
fix the wage scale for the coming sea
son before this time, but nothing of this
,.haracter has yet been done. 1t is said
however. that conference on the sub
iect will be held in Philadelphia some
time during next week, no exact date
for the same having vet been fixed.
The biggest Window glass plants in the
country are in Pennsylvania, at Jean
nette and New Kensington. They arc
both in the trust. as is also the Cohansey
Mt Brdgeton. n. J.. which has beei
closed down all season. While there are
4 number of individual window glass
plants outside the trust, the latter claims
that since these independent factories
work together, they also form combi-

Common School Graduation.

It is hoped that teachers will do
their part to create an interest in this
important subject as school terms
draw to close. Nothing will aid SO
much toward keeping older pupils in
school and keeping them interested in
their, studies. The writer has often
said, and thinks it will bear repeat
ing. that the habit of sticking to q
thing until it is finished is one of the
most important for children to form.
The boy or girl who completes the
eight-year common school course not
only has good elementary education,
but has the satisfaction of having ac-
aomplished the first serious task of
life.
With an enrolment of nearly one
thousand pupils in the schools, Ed
wards county should have an annual
graduating class of forty or fifty.
Arrangements for examination will
be much the same as last year.
Pupils may take the seventh grade
bras ches.-orth ography, reading PEN
manship, geography and physiology
this year, and the remaining eighth
grade branches next year, grades of
81 per cent and above being carried
one year.
