between here and Pittsburgh. The
last big consignment which she will
take on board will be at Moundsville
where % tons of glassware from the
Fostoria Glass company billed for
New Orleans and points in Central
America will be loaded. Freight TO
load the steamer to her full carrying
capacity has been promised and no
more is being solicited.
The Queen was to clear Pittsburgh

Few Remarks

BY WALTER B. HILTON

VICTOR G. WICKE is glass manufacturer who Is
not liked very well among his fellow manufacturers. He
has the reputation Of selling glass at less than the price
that others assume to be fair figure. His present att
tude in trying to destroy the Glass Packers Union would
appear justify this charge for when selling prices are
reduced on anv article while the material cost is the
either the wages Of the workers the profits Of the
EMPLOYERS must be reduced. Wcke is the sort OF man
who would rather anybody else lose money than hn
self So he is trying to squeeze out OF the poor under
paid men, who choke all day long in the sitting dust OF his
packing rooms. -
Just now and since last January he had has II. W.
Mead with him Mead is from Philadelphia. It seems
that he is there to show Wicke how little Wicke knows
about the glass business It is reported that Mead gets
$50 week for doing this. This $50 is taken from the
poor packers who thus forced to pay for having them
selves "scentifcally' managed.
There are two ways to stop the loss in manutactur
ing plant One is to reduce wages below the cost of living
reduce them to the point where good Workmen Will not
accept them and the other way Is to get manager who
knows how to run business. Wlcke naturally prefers
the former He would rather see anybody leave than
himself and so he is hunting rantcay about IN the glass
houses and even the farms of the country to find men
who will work for less wages in the packing room 10
break them in he has secured strike breakers 10 back
them p he has secured gun And all this is because
he wants pay less wages in the packing ROOM SO that the
ineficiencv of management may be covered up.
Every other glass house in the Wheeling district is
union including it's packing room. When Victor H.
Wcke tries to get his packing done for less money than
it costs his direct competitors he is admitting bus failure
equal he is no match fer the other glass house managers
Of this section and that to maintain his position as man
ager he must reduce the wages of his employees
Most men, rather than admit such failure, would re-
sign Wicke hasn't-yet. So far he has been leaning
weakly upon the heavy jowed Mead.
