CONFERENCE
At Cleveland By The Glass
People
In Reference To A New
Wage Scale
(Oleveland Leaderl

A heavy cut in the wage scale for
5000 skilled window glass workers
was demanded by an adjustment COM
mittee representing the hand manu-.
facturers Of window glass at a confer
ence with the adjustment and execu-
tive committees of the National Win
dow Glass Workers at the Hollenden
Hotel last night.
The union won 80 per cent In
crease in wage scale last June. 1t Is
understood the manufacturers COM
mittee, representing every operator in
the country not controlled by the
American Window Glass Company,
demand a return to the wage scale
in effect before the raise. The unions
are prepared to resist this sweeping
reduction.
The manufacturers committee will
also present plan to limit the total
output of window glass. This is a
measure to strengthen the market.
The market has been in chaotic con-
dition since the dissolution of the
Imperial Window Glass Company, the
trust, by court order following its
prosecution by Attorney General
Wckersham last summer.
These are the only conditions un-
der which the hand manufacturers
will open their factories and compete
with the American Window Glass
Company, the machine manufactur-
ers, they say.
The American Window Glass Com
pany cut, it's prices Is per cent, ef-
fective last Tuestay. The hand
manufacturers Immediately asked
for conference with the union ad-
iustment committee. Practically all
of the hand manufacturer plants
have oeen closed since October Is in
expectation of the price slashing.
The American Window Glass Com
pany controls the glass making ma
chimes. These eliminate the blowers
and gatherers. about one-half of the
skilled labor necessary to the manu-
facture of window glass. The les
sened cost of production gives the
company an advantage in the price
war that has been waged since the
dissolution of the trust this summer
that the hand manufacturers say
they cannot meet in the present mar
ket at the Detroit, or increased wage
scale.
The hand manufacturers make 60
per cent of the total output of win
dow glass under normal conditions.
The workers are faced with the al
tentative of closed plants and no
work unless the cut in wages is ac-
cepted, the manufacturers say. The
conference was entered into last night
with both parties on friendly rela-
tions and an agreement was predicted
within two or three days.

ANOTHER STATE LINING UP
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL
PRIMARY.

While reactionaries are standing
around railing at the popular govern
ment movement, that movement keeps
marching on at pace that reactionism
cannot overtake. Evidence of the
spread of the demand for popular gov
ernment is constantly coming forward.
The latest indication of it is seen in
Iowa, where the sentiment for Presi-
Dental primary is strong and where
it is probable such a primary will be
arranged. The legislature will not meet
before the Presidential campaign, and
consequently the demand is made that
the Republican State committee. fol-
lowing the example of some other
States, provide for the necessary ma
chinery to enable the voters to express
their preference as to a Presidential
nominee.

DR.. Davidson To Open
School With Program

Hereafter DR.. Davidson, superintend-
ent of schools, will make an effort to
have all new buildings dedicated with
appropriate exercises before they are
used.
This announcement was made today
when the news that the new building
at Eighth and T streets is nearly ready
for occupancy. On making inquiry re-
gar ding the custom here in opening new
schools, DR.. Davidson found that in
recent cases dedicatory exercises have
been neglected. The J. W. Eaton
school, for instance. had appropriate
opening exercises, but the new Thomp-
son was opened without ceremony.
II believe the opening OF a school
gives an opportunity for drawing pa
rents 20 the school which we cannot
afford to miss" SAID DR.. Davidson. III
II is in my power, any new schools
opened here during my administration
will be made the occasion for pro-
gram and an Invitation to the public to
attend"
The new building at Eighth and T
streets Is a handsome twelve story
structure, with an assembly hall, and Is
highly praised by DR.. Davidson, Who
went through 1t a few days ago. 1t Is
expected to be ready for occupancy
within week. 1t will first have to be
accepted by the Board of Education.

DEPLORES MANIFESTATIONS
OF MRS. BEATTIE'S SPIRIT

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
It is exceedingly sad that Mrs. Beat
ties life should end as it did; 1t Is
to be, deplored that after death her name
should be associated with spirit mani
festations, as is. the case In the report
submitted to the Society for Psychicai
Research by an attorney residing IN
Takoma Park, an account Of which ap-
peared recently in morning paper.
That Mrs. Beattie's spirit is capable OF
manifesting itself to any one on eartn
cannot be proved; the Bible, from be-
ginning to end, refutes 'the belief of
consciousness in death. True spirit
manifestations occurred in Bible times.
Just as they have occurred in Takoma
Park. but these manifestations do not
come from the dead, but from devils
purporting to be the spirits of the dead.
Saul. king of Israel, sought and OBJ
tained spirit manifestations; but he lost
both his life and his kingdom as a con-
sequence Stringent laws are to be
found in the Old Testament against
spirit manifestations, for God knew
their source and their deception. The
immortality of the spirit is figment of
the mind, entirely incapable of proof.
The dead are unconscious, is the teach
ing of the Bible from first to last. and
/ challenge the Takoma Park attorney
to produce single text from the Bible
In support of his belief that the mani
festations received IN his home are
from the dead. Immortality means con-
tif1ued consciousness; yet we become
unconscious IN sleep. by accident to the
brain, by the administr alton of anes-
thetios. etc. II the spirit is immortal
a surgical operation would be out of the
question, sleep would be impossible.
Mira. Beattie is dead; she is unconscious;
