PIrTsBURG, Sept. 25.-''If the Den.
ny people want low wages we will
show them what low wages are.
This threat was made yesterday
afternoon by President Simon Burns
of the Window Glass Workers AS
ISOLATION in discussing the probable
action of the Denny organization of
window glass workers on the propo-
sitlon made to them by his organiza-
ton, detailed in The Dispatch sever
al days ago. A committee from the
Wage Committee and Executive
Board of the Burns organization
went to the Southside yesterday and
presented the proposition to Secre-
tary John Philips, Jr., of the Denny
organization who promised to give
it to President John L. Denny.
The executive Board of the Denny
organization met last night and
when the Burns proposition was
brought up they refused to consider
it. President Denny said: sWe
are perfectly satisfied with our
agreement. This talk of our people
wanting to agree to the Burns prop
osition is all rot. They ale loyal,
as | found on my recent trip. The
members of Burns organization are
coming over to us by preceptories.
Our scale provides that If the Burns
organization secures a higher wage
rate than we have we will get the
advance, but it does not provide
that if Burns makes a settlement
for less money than we have secured
our wages will come down to his
level. | consider our settlement the
best that has ever been made in the
history of the window glass indus
try. 1t will aid in keeping out the
Belgian glass, which is coming over
now in large quantities.
President Burns has announced a
mass meeting to be held this after
noon in Turner Hall, Southside, to
explain his proposition to the mem
bers of the Denny organization.
President Denny says he will not in.
terfere with the meeting in any way.
but does not believe that Burns will
be able to get more than corporaps
guard out. President Denny leaves
to-day to enroll three more precep-
tories from the Burns organization
into his association. He returned
Monday night from Smithport,
where he enrolled the preceptory
from the Camp factory. Eight of
the Burns preceptories have gone
over to the Denny organization since
the close of the last fire and the
three which have sent for President
Denny will make IL.
A meeting between the Paste Mold
Wage Scale Committee of the Amer
lean Flint Glass Workers Union
and the Manufacturers Committee
was held yesterday in the rooms of
the Flint & Lime Glass Manutac-
tnrers' Association in the Stevenson
building for the purpose of listing a
number of new articles and designs,
and arranging the wages to be paid
for the making of them. The con
ference adjourned about 4.30 yester-
day afternoon, having finished its
work, and agreed on prices for every
thing that came up. This was the
last wage meeting that will be held
by the "aints'' this year and every
thing is now in shape for steady
run. The chimney factories viii
start up next week.
