When panic hit the country about
two years ago the union workmen in
the glassmaking industry accepted a
reduction in wages approximating 80
per cent. Now that prosperity has re-
turned" these same employees asked
for restoration of 20 per cent of the
30 per cent reduction. After three
weeks strike an s per cent increase
was granted. The new tariff law gives
the manufacturers ample protection"
in order to enable them to pay good
wages to their employees. While ninety
nine out of every hundred of the glass
workers favor high protective tariff,
the fact will now probably dawn on
them that they have only been able to
demand "a high wage scale by reason
of having a thorough union organiza-
ton.

Conductors and Trainmen Preparing

One of the most important labor con-
ventons Of the year was held in Bos-
ton recently. that of the eastern asso-
citation Of general chairmen of the joint
boards of arbitration and adjustment
of the conductors and trainmen on the
seventy-four railroad lines and systems
east Of the Mississippi river, north of
the Chesapeake and Ohio lines and in
Guiding eastern Canada.
The convention decided that the time
was now opportune for a general de-
mand for substantial increase in
wages and equalization of the working
hours on all the roads. Now some
have nine. eleven and twelve hour
day schedules. A straight general ten
hour schedule is wanted. The western
association secured such workday
several years ago Tue eastern asso-
citation considered following that ac-
ton at its convention last year. but
it was passed up, as the time was not
considered the proper one owing to
business and traffic conditions
The eastern men are lower paid but
do heavier and more important work
than the western ones. ii was stated.
The main proposition, as to whether
the men will enforce the request by a
strike if necessary. goes to a referen-
dun vote al once.
The new executive board and the
general officers Of the two big brother
hoods will meet about Dec. at some
central int to canvass the vote and
if the question Is sustained, to de
eide upon the date for the enforcement
