GLASS BUSINESS
STILL BOOMING.

The recent circulated reports re
garding the closing Of glass fac

plants in Pennsylvania. The
Dubois plant shut down on account
Of trouble with the city water works
department, while the stoppage of
the Falls Creek factorywas occasion-
ed by a shortage of gas.
As soon as these matters arc adj
iusted the work will be resumed.
In the local field there has been
no sign or indication. of any stop

may possibly lay off one week for
