ment was made to-day of the withdrawal by
the American Window Glass Company of the
5000 shares of common stock given to the
Window Glass Workers Association under
certain, conditions early In 1900.
This was one of the profit-sharing propo-
sitions made to workmen by large corpora
tons, and under 1t the participants were
not asked to invest any money, the only
requirement being that the workers assist
the company in operating its plants to
nearly their capacity. The workers or
ganization was to have representation on
the board, and the stock, which was turned
over to the association at $50 a share, was
to be paid out of the dividends.
The American Window Glass Company
owns factories with capacity of /, 100 pots
and has been able to operate only about
1000 during the past three years on account
of the inability of the workers organiza-
ton to supply skilled workmen, many of
the workers being employed in independent
factories.
