But Only Temporarily it is Believed
New Plan of Payment of Wages
Will be introduced by the Man
agement. Owing to Low Price of
Glass.
Market Money to be Paid Weekly and Two Thirds
of Profits to 90 to Employees at the End of the
Fire-proposal is Being Considered by Commit
tee Representing Employees.

The Clarksburg Industrial Window
Glass factory in the 0larksburg Indus
trial companyis addition to the city j.
closed down, but only temporarily, it is
believed.
Since il began operations a month OF
so ago 20 men or more have been quite
busy, and considerable amount Of eX-
cellent products havc been turned out
1t is claimed by the manufacturers OF
the country that the present price OF
glass docs not justify the payment of
the Philadelphia scale. the scale in vogue
amoag the glass workers in this section
OF country, and at Morgantown, where
the plan of operations is somewhat diff
ferent from what it is here, the mamIfac-
ttirers have notified the workers that a
% per cent reduction in wages was nee
essary TO run the plants on anything like
a paying basis, and that ii this conces-
sion is not made, the factories tfill be
compelled to close down.
The Philadelphia scale is in force at
the Industrial plant, and, from what can
be learned, there is no special objection
to it, but there seems to be difference
as to the manner of paying wages, or
rather, the manager, Mr.. Devaughn. has
-sus6Hiitted 7phrn. which the desires to
introduce and which he thinks must be
followed, if the plant is to be success
fully run.
The scale provides for what is known
as market money, and this the manage.
ment agrees TO pay every week, but the
price of glass IS such THAT the manage,
meDt does not believe that they can pay
in full the wage scale at the stated pc
riods of settlement, which are once a
month.
The proposition is to pay them the
market money, (which runs as high as $40
a week, and ait the end of the fire, which
means at the close OF the season, give
the employees two-thirds Of the profits
the other third, if there be any profits
going to the stockholders Otherwise ii
has been about concluded that he fac.
tory cannot run.
The men all worked up TO Saturday
night, and were paid as usual, and ther
the proposition submitted to them fol
consideration. 1t soon became understood
that the work of the factory would moi
proceed until The man had cone to some
decision in the matter. As consequence
the factory Monday was practically clos
ed Down AN day, ouiy three men being
engaged ait work there.
OF the 10 men employed. over 30 ara
skilled AN most OF these are 7tocSltold
ers, the company being co-opcrativ,
ccnrern. and the pian is said to be ae
ceptaible to most Of the latter.
a committee representing the en-
ployees has the proposal in hanl consii
ering the same, and it Is expected tha
they will come 10 a decision at once an,
J that the factory win resume operation
immcdiately.
II is to be hoped chat There will be n
long shut-down OF the Industrial fac
tory, as it is a splendid enterprise ans
has started off nicely.

The Pee Dee Summer School.

The teachers attending the Pee
Dee Summer School will come to a
town that is very desireus of having
them, and will therefore do all it
can for them. They will be well
cared for on the same campus-will
all eat in the same dining loom
and can have many discussions of the
work in hand-of former elperien-
ces, ETC., and therefore receive much
greater benefit than can be had by
attending a county summer school OF
two or three instructors, and twenty
teacher. er.students. There is inspira-
ton and encouragement in numbers.
The Pee Dee will have these. The
expenses will he lower than the
usual expenses of county summer
school. The management is now
making efforts to provide lectures,
ETC., sufficient to entertain and in
struct those in attendance. The Pee
Summer Summer School will be a
success, and will give added reputa-
tion to those why attend its session.
The names of the faculty is sufficient
to guarantee this. You are coming
and will help in disseminating in
formation concerning it.
