GLASS AGREEMENT REACHED.
Window Glass JObbers VIII Take the
Entire Years Output.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 12.-After three days
OF conference between members of the Win
dow Glass JoDbers' Association, a substan-
tial agreement was arrived at to-day Sub
ject to ratification by the manufacturers.
who are acting in unison in trade matters,
the JCbbers' Association made a PROPOSE
ton u the manufacturing companies to
take the entire output Of glass made by
them during the current fire. This propo-
sition will doubtless be ratified by the
Manufacturers Association, as enough
to IL to carry the adoption of the proposal.
The significance of this action is that
there will be no further slashing of prices.
nor Will the independent manufacturing
concerns antagonize the arrangement, hav-
ing pledged themselves to cooperate in
the matter of prices.
