Glass MAKERS HAIL
COMING OF SPRING
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PARAMOUNT, Ind, March 16.-Glass
manufacturers of this and surrounding cit
les of the Indiana gas belt will hail with
delight the coming of spring and summer
The cold and severe winter has been for
them one of trials and the shutting down
of the plants temporarily has come with a
regularity never before known. The grad
ual failing of the gas supply is given as the
reason The pressure of the gas has not
been sufficient to force out the water that
has collected in the mains and the pipes
cannot be cleaned until the weather settles.
From this time until the end of the blast,
June 30, the factories will have no trouble
and there will be plenty of gas for all pur-
poses, unless there should come another
hard freeze The factories which remain
in the belt another winter will, during the
present summer, provide artificial gas pro-
ducers in order to meet just such emergen-
cies as they have passed through.
