The highly protected glass industries
are having their own troubles during
these Dingley tariff days Although
the duties on most kinds of glass will!
average nearly 100 per cent. yet they
are not high enough to insure prosperi-
ty, and nearly all branches of the glass
industry are now experiencing hard
times.
The National Glass Budget Of Feb
20 tells us that the window glass
workers have finally decided to accept
reductions in wages averaging from
121a to Is per cent. 1t says these re-
ductions are not radical enough to start
up the fires in many of the numerous
idle plants and intimates that further
reductions must be made soon.
Another article in this same journal
is entitled National Factories All
Idle The National Glass company is
the backbone of the flint glass trust
Its eight plants employ about 1000
workers. The trust is attempting to
make its shops nonunion. and as the
glass business is now Very duh it will
probably be successful
The glass factories of the country
have been running not to exceed two
thirds of the time during the last year
If protection brings prosperity, why is
this industry so in the dumps? High
tariffs compel the people to pay two
prices for glass. Do they help the
workers?

ments used by the republican national

Greene county, was in the city Satur-
day meeting Oskaloosa republicans in
the interest of his candidacy for the
nomination of railroad commissioner

There is no reservation in the
home support accorded Mr.. Lovejoy,
and it is the hearty hope of all the
local friends that his aspirations for
this state Office may find favor abroad.
"Mr. Lovejoy is a Greene county
man. He was born at Rippey and
the forty-fve years Of his life have
all been spent right here. He re-

Want Honor for Taggart.
Indiana is determined to make
strong effort to secure the selection OF
Thomas Taggart, of Indianapolis, as
chairman of the national committee.

ests, it was decided to withdraw j W.
Kern from the race for vice president.
The Indiana delegation became con-
WINGED Sunday afternoon that 1T was
out of the question for them to secure
both honors, and Mr.. Kern declared
himself willing to give up his chances,
SO he was declared out by his friends.
New York Is Confident.

their candidate is to be nominated that
they are talking over with leaders OF
delegations from other states, the ques-

egations that have candidate for the
place and giving assurances of their
distinguished esteem. Former Senator
Hill, William F. Sheehan, Former Sem
ator Murphy and State Senator Nc
Carren held a levee all the afternoon
and tonight while they have not yet
seen all the delegations promised for
Parker, are in a state of extreme con-
fidence.
Two things were stated definitely at
Senator Hills headquarters. First,
that no platform has been drawn for
Judge Parker to stand on, and that
even a rough draft will not be forth
coming until Wednesday, and second,
that Judge Parker as candidate will
readily stand upon any platform that
majority of the convention agree
upon. This last statement is signif-
cant, because it is thoroughly well
known that he would not stand on a
radical platform. 1t is, therefore, evil
dent that the Parker supporters are al
ready assured that the convention will
not agree to even a suggestion Of rad
icalism as suggested by Bryan and
Hearst supporters, but, indeed, will
strongly tend in an entirely different
direction, particularly on the financial
and tariff planks.
