heightened when heads Of the Glass Blow
ers Union and representatives OF the Ma

ment of the wage scale and other points

turn the blowers will be granted a slight
increase in the price of certain classes OF
ware. Including cologne bottles and TASKS.
Although these wage increases are frac-

5000 out of the 1900 in the country are

SLIDING SCALE CONTRACTS
IN IRON INDUSTRY.

| CLEVELAND, Aug. 5.-The Iron TRADE
Review saws: ION the face of 1t the
sliding scale contract for coke and cast
ings, based on pig iron prices. looks to De
fair. but, as the prices for spot pig iron
are used as a basis, one side or the other
is liable to be placed at a disadvantage.
I'm the case of furnace coke contracts
the furnace using the coke may be max
ing iron sold for delivery far ahead OF
the time of its being made. and the spot
pig iron market may be out of all pro
portion to the average price the -lrlace
is getting for its iron. Yet the coke con-
tract calls for a settlement or spot prices
for pig iron. Last winter this worked a
great. hardship on the furnaces.
THE same principle applies en- castings
The price the used of the castings may
pay the foundry is liable to be either above
or below an equitable basis Tor either the
foundry or his customer.
Still these contracts are being made
right along and seem to have become a
fixture In the business. 1t may ben oted
however, that when the buyer has the
privilege of choosing between a fiat price
con tract and a sliding scale basis, he
will take the fiat prices basis. The seller
Is apparently the one who has the advan-
tage for the most part in these arrange
ments.
Last year coke was freely offered and
ovens were freely Offering to sell for for
ward d~elivery-there were but few sliding
scale contracts as 1t was a buyers mar
ket and he bought at the fat price.
with foundries busy since the first of
the year and with a heavy call for ma
chine tool castings. the foundry dictated
the terms Of the contract, which was on
the sliding scale basis. 1t could not be
charged either with taking advantage of
the situation, as there were d~isappoint-
ments In deliveries Of pig iron on con-
tracts, and in such cases the foundry was
obliged to buy pig iron and pay spot
| prices TO keen running.''

LITHOGRAPHERS' UNION
DEFEATED IN STRIKE.
Have Abandoned Fight for Open Shop.
Were Locked Out by Employers
a Year Ago.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The struggle of
the LitEographic Artists. kngravers and
Designers League with the National Assoc
citation of Employing Lithographers, which
began in August, 1916. has been ended as
a result Of the abandonment of the fight
by the union. according to an announce
ment made today by Richard Kitchelt.
national president of the I.ithographic Art
lists, Engravers and Designers League.
The trouble had its origin In the posting
Of open shop notices by the employing
photographers in most of the large cities
of the country last August, and their re-
quircment that all their employees resign
from their union. This the men refused to
do and they were locked out in all the
large and many small cities.
The league finally decided to ask the men
to vote on a proposition TO return to work
Internationally and at meetings called for
that purpose the proposition was adopted.
