AS a Result of the Refusal
of Its Employees to
Accept Reduction.
ALL PLANTS IN STATE
May Cease Operations Within
Ten Days as Result Of
Conferences.

The West Fork window glass fac
tory is idle as the result of a mis-
understanding between the company
and men over wages.
With the fires turned out, $50
employees of the West Fork did not
go to work Sunday midnight. Notii-
cation was given by the company
Sunday that the men would have to
accept reduction of wages Of from
fifteen to sixteen per cent, 1t is
claimed, and they refused to do SO,
dependent upon action to be taken
by their national officers, and the
company then turned out the ares.
The employees took the position
that they would have no right to
accept a reduction of wages until
ordered to do so by the national of
hcers of their association and that
to do SO would be to disregard their
union and promote the private
agreemeu plan of wages. They
asked that they be paid the regular
scale until the settlement Tuesday,
by which time the national officers
would have the matter before them.
The company declined to do this,
the men refused to accept the wage
reduction and the company then
turned out the factory f1res.
The action of the company in ask
ing for reduction of wages is said
to have been based on a six per cent
reduction by the American Window
Glass Company in the market price
OF glass. This reduction was made
The action of the West Fork Vim
dow Glass Company followed con-
ference here OF the window glass
of west Virginia, the
last of which was held Saturday
night, when a resolution was
adopted concerning the wage scale
and a committee appointed to confer
with Joseph iNeenan, of Cleveland,
o., president of the National window
Glass workers.
Leading window glass workers
here believe the action of the West
Fork is forerunner OF concerted
plan of the West Virginia manufac-
turers to abrogate the union wage
agreement and to employ the private
agreement plan hereafter. They ex-
press the opinion that should thai
be the case every window glass fac
tory in the state will be idle within
ten days.

Play Football.

AloRGANTOWN, Oct. 3O-The
zenith of West Virg7nfa's 4ootbalI
schedule for the 1911 season Will
be reached Saturday afternoon, No
vember 4, when the Varsity squad
will battle with the representative
eleven of Washington and JEFF
ferson. Never in the his
tory of the university has interest
been SO keen as in the coming game
and the only hope of the followers
of Old Gold and Blue is that the
West Virginia University will finish
OH the long end of the score. Ex-
tenstve preparations are being made
for the battle, which will be fit-
ting climax for the inauguration ex-
ercises of DR.. Thomas F.. Hodges as
president of the university.
In direct preparation for the
game Coaches Pop Leuder and Cap
tain N. NJ Nelly, the latter from
West Point, are putting the candi-
dates for the squad through the
hardest course of training and both
feel confident that the Washington
and JEFFERSON warriors will be
forced to lower their colors in favor
of the West Virginia University.
Comparatively speaking, the teams
are about evenly matched, although
it is thought that the local combl-
nation Of pigslIn artists will out
weigh the Pennsylvanians slightly.
