WINDOW GLASS SCALE
UNDERGOES A REVISION
10 Permit Of the Export Trade
Which under the Old Scale
Could Not Be Had.

PITTSBuRG, Dec. 12.-The Glass
worker says:
Hand window class plants are now
ready to actively participate in the
export trade which has opened ur
aimee the beginning of the European
war, and which, so far, has been
principally beneficial to the machine
plants.
As result of meeting of the
wage committee of the National As
sociation of Window Glass Manufac-
turers and National Window Glass
Workers, held Wednesday and
Thursday at the Hotel Henry. re-
vision of thN scale was effected which
permits hand manufacturers to lay
abide sheets for export, which under
the scale adopted this year was pro-
hibited.
The terms of agreement are as fol
lows:
Single strength. So cents per box
for 15 boxes of single strength, to
be taken from any pot or place, to
apply to export business only.
"On double strength 95 cents for
ten boxes. to be taken from any pot
or place, to apply on export business
only up to and including 100 united
inches. This glass is to be packed in
cases Of 100. 200 or 800 square feet,
Sizes are to be cut as near the size
blowns as possible.
The manufacturers were extremely
anxious that some stch agreement
be made. and so were a number OF
the workers on the committee. In
cluding Presidert Joseph NJ. Neenan,
but owing to a number OF trifling
difficulties and personal considera-
tions the conference dragged on un-
I'll Thursday Afternoon before an
agreement was reached. :
The glass affected is principally OF
the cheaper kind.
The agreement as TO the number OF
square feet to be placed In box
greatly facilities the export business,
as 1t enables the glass to be more
compactly loaded in vessels. and per
1aits the foreign buyers to cut the
sheets into the sizes best adapted tc
their respective trades. s.
