As There is Much Friction on
the Part of the Window
Glass Workers Now
PITTsBuRG, Feb. 1s-The Glass

PITTsBURG, Feb. 19-The Glass
worker says:
A general comprehensive idea Of
existing conditions in the window
glass trade may be gained from the
following circular letter Just issued
by the johnson Brokerage Company,
of Pittsburg:
To the trade:
This is one occasion during the last
four years in which we are earnestly
soliciting orders. From the assign
ments we have made during the last
six weeks it Is our belief that with
all the plants operating full handed
1t will take them until the early part
Of April to complete present contracts
and there is much friction on the part
Of labor that It may become serious
enough at any time to curtall produc-
tlon. This creates feeling of un-
easness among the jobbers who really
understand the situation.
Some business is coming In on the
January schedule much larger
quantity than we expected in the ear
ly part OF the season, and the January
prices are now firmly established and
become effective much quicker than
any other advance that has taken
place In recent years. Premiums are
