State, to facilitate acquaintance and pro-
mote good-fellowship among the students.

teristic pins are worn. and all the desira BILE
and distinctive features or local chapters

ty under the most favorable circumstances.

steps Taken at a Meeting Of Men
Who Control 3,39s Pots Out of
a Possible 5000.
SELLING AGENCY AT PRESENT
LATER ALL THE WINDOW GLASS
FACTORIES NAY BE UNITED.
Company Capitalized at $1,000 900
Scheme I'm Which I~ndianians Are
Much Interested.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 13.-Manufacturers
of window glass. representing 1888 pots out
of a possible $500 pots, met here to-day and
completed plans for organizing the Manu-
facturers' Window Glass Company, which
will control the output of practically all
the window glass factories in the United
States. The company was capitalized at
81, 10000 For the present it will be con-
Quoted as a selling agency. but the plans
provide for taking over all the window
glass factories later should it be deemed
expedient.
The meeting was presided over by Pres
ident j. r. Johnston, of Hartford City,
Ind. representing the Federation Window
Glass Company. r. w. Hilton and Thomas
p. WEIGH. of the American Window Glass
Company, of Pittsburg, were the secre-
taries. The American Window Glass Com
pany, controlling 1,6SS pots, was represented
by President James A. Chambers and Vice

The meeting was harmonious, and results
which for a long time were generally sup
posed impossible were accomplished. One
of the important features of the Manufac-
turers' Window Glass Company is that 1t

made products of the American Window
Glass Company. but will also control the
product of all their factories in which the
blowing machine is operated.
A committee was appointed to secure a
New Jersey charter and to adopt bylaws

dent John Phillips, jr., of the Window
Glass Workers Association of America,
were called into the meeting and said:
THAT in consideration of the new company
agreeing to the Philadelphia wage scale,
which means the highest wages ever paid
window glass workers in America to skilled
workers, that they pledge themselves and
their organizations to enforce the scale in
all factories, and that no plant outside the
new company would be allowed to start be-
fore or operate their plants longer than
the time agreed upon each year by the Man.

Output of Pig Iron CurtaiIed.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 13.-Oficial reports
from the various furnace operators in the
Central West district, which includes the
Pittsburg district, shows that the agree
ment to curtail output Of pig iron Is rapid
ly being exceeded In tonnage by the voIun-
tary action Of the individual members to
the agreement. The last meeting OF the
furnace operators showed that the curtail-
ment instead of being 20 per cent. was 40
per cent. A week later the curtailment had
increased TO 81 per cent, and from the an
nounced plans of the various furnace COM
panies 1t Is now believed that a curtailment
OF 60 per cent. OF the total tonnage of the
furnaces will be made before the end of
November. This will be one of the heaviest
c~urtailments in pig iron that has taken
place in the great producing center in
volved.
The demands for pig iron is so light that
the operators say it would be useless TO
turn out more than the current trade re-
Quirements.

BIG WELLS NEAR MUNCIE
Found Mt an Unusual Depth in the OIL
Bearing Sand.

opeclai 10 the Indianapolis journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 13.-The Globe Oil
Company, composed of Muncie men. yester-
day afternoon struck a paying we'll on the
A. r. Lennon farm, near Smithfield, six
miles east Of Muncie. This is the fourth
well drilled by the Globe company In that
vicinity. the other three not being paying
property, although some oil was found. 1t
is estimated that the new we'll will pump
200 barrels daily. The oil was struck at a
depth of 25 feet in the sand.
The finding Of this well at such a depth in
the sand and the recent finding of a good
we'll by the Daniel Boone Oil Company on
the Guthrie farm, near Muncie, at a depth
of 800 feet in the sand, have been a revela-
ton to gas and oil men working the field
The drilling in this vicinity heretofore has
been shallow, few wells being more than
seventy-ive feet in the sand. Dozens of
wells nave been given up as clusters
which,. 1T is now thought, might have been
good producers had the drill been sent down
two hundred feet deeper.
