further Notwithstanding and disa-
EreeRe4t as to the scale of wages.
AS Is reaae@bered the factories were

this went to work.
Now. it is said the manufacturers
find that they cannot pay even this
scale owing to the competition Dy
factories using machines and auoth-
er disagreement is said to have re-
suited. which will lead either to the
SHIFTING down of the factories or =
general strike on the part OF the
workers.
President A. L. Faulkner. with
his executive staff and the wage com
mittee of the glass workers amalga-
mated association will personally
deal with the situation here and
with their presence in the city there
are some busy days ahead in the
matter of deliberations concerning
the future action of the glasswork-
ers here.
Some weighty questions are to
be dealt with. These will be care
fully considered and in conference
with the local workers, 1t is said,
the national officers will lay the
matters before the workers and
largely permit them to assume re-
snonsibility for what action they

= What the outcome of all this will
be is mere conjecture, but it is an
assured fact that very unsettled
condition exists in glass manufactu--
ing circles here. and. unless an adj
iustment is arrived>at speedily the
glass industry in Clarksburg will
suffer,
The chairman of the wage conf
mittee is now here in conference
with the Lafayette factory, a coop

notified to quit work on account of
the wage scale. and he will under
take to run the factory under the
sliding scale formulated at Colum-
bus last week by the manufacturers.
The Weston factory will shut
down tonight on account of the
wage scale. the operators asserting
they cannot afford to pay 1t.
There is every probability that
there win be shut down here OF
several of the factories unless the
sliding scale is adopted as the man
ufactprers claim they cannot pay the
other scale.
The hope of all is that the meter
may be permanently adjusted at a
meeting of the manufacturers to be
held in Columbus November IL.
