GLASS BLOWERS ON STRIKE.
Employers Declined to Confer with
Representatives of the Union.

PHILADELPHIA, April ia strike of
the glass blowers employed by the Moore
Jonas Glass Company, at Bridgeton, n.
j., and the George Jonas Glass Company,
of Minotota, n. J., is in progress, and
the number of men affected is variously
estimated at from 200 to 400 The strike
was the result OF the refusal of the COM
panies to confer with officials of the Glass
Blowers Union. The demands of the men
include the cash payment of wages, re-
instatement of men discharged for attend
ing union meetings and the abolition of
child labor.
d. A Hayes, president of the Glass
Blowers Association, returned to his Of
flee i'm this city to-day from Bridgeton.
He said he could not state accurately the
number of men on strike, but said that
both the Bridegton and Mnotota plants
were badly crippled. The Bridegton Glass
Blowers struck Tuesday and a majority of
those at the Minotota plant went out last
evening Commenting on the strike, Pres
ident Hayes said: This strike was forced
by the attitude of the owners of the George
Jonas plant, at Minotota, and the More
Jonas plant at Bridgeton. When the
conditions at these two factories were
brought to the attention of the unions
every effort was made to obtain a con-
ference with the employers, without re-
suit
Mr. Hayes says the strikers are willing
to submit their grievances to arbitration.

Wright was under a life sentence for
murder and escaped from the state prison
at Brushy mountain two years ago. He
returned to his haunts in Hancock coun-
ty and there defied the officers, although
there was a reward of $500 for his arrest.
Not long after his return home Sheriff La
gere, of Hancock county, was shot from
ambush and killed. The crime was charged
to jim Wright, John Templeton and the
latter'S brothers. Its alleged motive was
that Lagere had killed the father of the
Templetons. Recently officers have been
planning to trap Wright in his home, and
he, together with John Templeton and
other members of his gang, crossed the
state line into Virginia. They have been In
Scott county about a month. To-day the
sheriff organized a strong posse and at
tempted to arrest them. The outlaws had
been notified and a pitched battle resulted.
In addition TO the five of the sheriff's posse
killed Deputy Sheriffs Joe Moss and Sam
Wax were wounded Although Wright was
wounded and captured all the other men,
bers of his gang escaped. They being
pursued, but the mountains of the county
afford them all possible chance Of escape.

With some feeling Mr.. Grosvenor then
answered the charges of inconsistency
brought against himself. He called atten-
ton to the remarks on reciprocity made
by President Roosevelt at Charleston yes
terday, which he described as the best
speech the President ever made, and hui
morously remarked that he wondered at
the temerity Of the President in making
such statements while Republicans in the
House were denOuncing such sentiments as
party disloyalty The present tariff on raw
sugar, he declared, was high beyond all
reason. If the present reduction were made
the tariff on sugar would then be per cent.

intended. If the b5et-sugar people had an

hundred protection, then it had better be
abandoned. In conclusion Mr.. Grosvenor
denied that the pending bill was an assault
on the protective theory. He said 50 per
cent. of the people favored il because they
did not believe Cuba should be treated so
harshly that she would be forced into the
Union. When she got ready to come, said
he, we would welcome her, as the President
said in his speech, recognizing that she
stood in a different relation to the United
States than any other country.
Mr.. Thayer, of Massachusetts,, took advan-
tage of the latitude allowed in general debate
to discuss his resolution which called on
the attorney general for information as to
what steps. if any, had been taken to in
vestigate certain published charges Of the
existence OF a meat combine. He read the
charges and evidence published in the
newspapers and declared that the evidence
showed conclusively that the law had been
violated.
Mr.. Miers said he would vote for the
Cuban bill. but protested that the relief it
would afford would not be adequate.
