BAD FOR GLAssWoRKERs.
A Reduction of Almost 40 Per Cent
Made at IndeDendence

Made at Independence.
Independence, Kan, April 29-While
two out of the three window plants
in this city are operating steadily and
the scale calls for continuance up to
the middle of August, it is possible
that the two plants will shut down
before that time, unless the weather
should prove exceptionally favora BILE,
as the men are not eager to continue
at present prices. With the latest cut
the wages have now been reduced al
most 40 per cent from the prices of
last season, and it is hard for the
men to adjust themselves to the
changed conditions.
A gatherer informs reporter that
it pushes him hard to clean up $12
week under the present scale, where
as last year he made from $24 to $50
or Whereabouts.
AS he receives a per cent along with
the blower it will be seen that the
blowers wages have been reduced in
proportion, although the blowers make
more money than that because they
have always been the high priced men
in the business.
The snappers get three cents roller
for their work and are not greatly af-
fected by market conditions. They
draw from ten to twelve dollars. 1t
depends largely upon their skill and
industry
Asked If the machines were respon-
sible for present conditions, the glass
worker replied: Partly. They have
put much glass on the market; but the
reduction comes chiefly because the
manufacturers can use the machines
as valid excuse for cutting wages"

IOLA'S DEEP WE'LL.
Is Now Down Over 5000 Feet and
Expect Gas Soon.

lola, Kan, April 29.-Street Commits
sioner J. S. Walker has samples of
sand taken from the deep we'll which
is being drilled near the Prime West
ern smelter No. east Of the city,
which he says give every indication
of gas within a short time. He has
three samples, taken every five feet
within the past few days. At 3135
feet the drillers were working in a
hard stone. After they drilled five feet
deeper they passed into a much softer
stone and now at $3.50 feet the drillers
are working in sand which the drill
ers here, who should know, say gives
every indication of gas or oil. The
sand that they are working in now is
much softer than any form of rock
since piercing the first gas sand. If
gas is ever found in the deep well the
chances are that it will be struck
within a very few days or soon after
the drillers begin drilling again.
