INDIANAPOLIS, May 2.-As the re-
suit of the annual conference of window
glass manufacturers held here to-day
it was decided to close down nearly all
factories in the United States on May

in wages of Is per cent. The confer
ence was attended by representatives of
all the cooperative glass factories in
the country. There were also present
members Of the wage workers commit

OF the conference affects 1850 glass
blowers and $4,000 other employees, all
of whose wages will be increased Is
per cent. The object was to get the
corporations to close down on May IL.
The wage committee decided to demand
from the manufacturers an advance
over last years scale of Is per cent.
The presidents OF the two glass combi-
nations were notified of the demand and
said the advance would be allowed pro-
vided the co-operatives would agree to
close their factories May H. When
this proposition was announced to the
representatives Of the cooperative fac
in
on that date. The action of the CO.
operatives, however, does not meet with
general approval and there are indica-
tons that some of them will refuse to
abide by the action of the majority.
Another meeting will be held to-mor-

and an effort made to secure the con-
sent o fthe co-operatives.

MR.. ROCKHILL'S PLAN

Supposed to Have Led to a Hitch in
the Negotiations in Progress at
Pekin.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-it is believed
here that the hitch which is said to
have arisen at Pekin over the PROPOSE
ton to increase the Chinese customs
duties to meet the indemnities demand
ed by the foreign powers is caused by
the broaching by Mr. Rockhill of his
plan for the abolition of the Likin dut-
les as a condition for his acuuiescence
in the customs increase. The United
States government has in the past adj
mitted readiness to permit the Chi
nese to increase the custom rates pro-
viding there was no discrimination be-
tween the powers. Minister WI says
that the present five per cent rate is
totally inadequate to provide a sinking
fund for new loan.
