MONONGAH CO. 4
BUYS NATIONAL
GLASS PLANT.
Means Work Here For Sew.
eral Hundred More
People.
RADICAL RAD ALTERATIONS
High Grade Line of Tum-
blers and Stemware
to be Made
RADICAL ALTERATIONS

The Monongah Glass company have
acquired letters to the manufacturing
plant formerly owned and o.erated by
the National Glass company and will
at once take the recessary steps to
place 1t in permanent operation.
The plant is located on Sixth street
and tie Belt Line railway and was
acquired by purchase from several OF
the business men OF this city who
had purchased It some few years ago.
The plant has been operated for
several short periods in the past sew.
geral years by the Monongah Glass
company as an emergency plant.
The new owners feeling the necess.
fly. for additional productice capacity
to take care of their rapidly growing
export business and having proved to
their satisfaction from previous oper'
atoms of the plant that In its present
physical condition 1t could not be
profitably operated, opened negotia-
tions for outright purchase.
Radical improvements to the plant
will be made at once. These improve.
ments will include complete auto.
matte sprinkler equipment.
It is the intention to manufacture
at this plant high.grade line Of
blown tumblers and stemware for
which there is an unusual demand
owing to the production in Belgium.
Germany, France and Austria being al.
most shut off on account of the Eu.
ropean war.
The usual vast importations from
these countries into the United States
are of course impossible while the
wal! lasts. Alos expectations from the
countries at war to all other countries
Sincluding all OF South American, Cen.
tral America, West Indies, Asia, AT.
rica, Australia and New Zealand are
shut off.
1niaddition England must leek to the
United States for its requirements in
: glassware.
The four countries neutral 1t may
be interesting to know have supplied
the world with the exception of the
United States, with practically all the
glassware used and in past have f0'.'ld
1t possible to place their wares in Sle
United States in vast quantities under
normal conditions.
As result of the war those coun-
tries who formerly depended upon Eu-
rope for their requirements. could on
1yturn to the United States to supply
them and in consequence the manu-.
facturers are taxed to the utmost en-.
deavor to meet the situation.
This expansion in the manufactur.
ing capacity of the Monongah Glass
company will necessltate the employ
ment of several hundred additional
people, the greater number of whom
must necessarily be brought here from
other localities. This additional in
dustrial plant is not In the nature Of
or experimental kind as
the management Of the Monongah
sGlagA company has proven IN the past
twelve years their ability to make
good.

ORTIZ Co. TO GRAND
H|PPODROME DARK
Several Surprises Today in
the Tab Show
!. War. 49,

One week ago today the famous
theatrical tangle which interested and
amused Fairmont, caused the arrest
of AL Coleman on a technical charge
and brought injunction from the Su.
preme Court of the state started
and it was entirely in keeping
with the situation Of the last week
that three surprises should be sprung
today.
The Lew orth company, who are
the keenest sufferers in the tangle,
will play at the Grand Monday after.
noon and evening, putting on "Alad.
din From Broadway" in the after.
noon and "a Tango Tea" in the even.
ing. Directly after the conclusion OF
the frst performa11cesin I'm tlfeseypnfng,.
the famous Charlie Chaplin tango con.
test, which was scheduled for last
night at the Hippodrome, will be put
on. Many entries have been receiy.
ed for this contest and It will likely
be one of the most successful special
features ever attempted in this city.
Five dollars will be awarded to the
winning couple.
Manager McGovern Of the Hoppe.
drome stated this morning that the
theatre would be closed until further
notice, unless some action was taken
by the owners OF the theatre, S. A.
Moore, Of Charleston, Is the chief own
er Of the Fairmont Amusement COM
pany, from whom the Clarksburg
Amusement company has been renting
the Hippodrome for sometime. Mr.,
Moore is expected here early next
week to look the situation over, and
may have some definite plans to an.
nounce at that time. Unless a change
is made between now and Monday
there will be no show at the Hippo.
drome next week.
Further litigation in the theatrical
cese Is very likely. While the in.
junction granted against the orth com.
pany automatically expires tonight,
there may be further hearing Of the
case on a motion to dissolve the In.
junction in order that, should the
court decide to finally dissolve the
Injunction. there would be a chance
for a damage suit. It Is understood
that the clarksburgh Amusement com.
pany will in the near future bring suit,
II possible, against the managers Of
the Colonial.
Therefore the public need not be
surprised II the Colonial.Hippodrome
tilt may prove to have only really got
started this week.

GUARDSMEN LIKE CITY
Regular Camp Grounds in
Preston is a Lonesome
Spot.

The Fairmont Chamber of Com.
merce, cooperating with the city Of.
ficials and the Business Mems Assoc
iation here has issued an invitation to
the West Virginia National Guard to
encamp at Fairmont this year.
Aldjutant.General John B. Bond has
been tho recipient Of kilograms and
letters from Fairmonters requesting
that he will consider the matter and
that ne will report favorably II pos.
sible. Ain answer to these requests
Is expected momentarily.
Caddell, the camping ground near
kingwood has ben suggested as the
most likely place for pitching the
Guard tents but on account Of the in
flux of letters to Captain @. B. Cars
kaddon asking that something be done
to prevent the Guard being taken to
that place, 1t became necessary to
look for better quparters. The two
Fairmont companies are willing and
anxious to entertain the guard Of the
state and as to desirable grounds,
Fairmont has the territory surround.

All prominent business men of the
city interviewed by Captain Carskad.
don yesterday and at no time did his
suggestion meet with disapproyal.
The date for the guard to encamp
comes scme time in July. Fairmont
Is more than anxious that the guard
be sent here and as the matter seems
to be coming to favorable conclu.
sion although nothing definite has been
given out for publication) preparations
might as well be commenced.
The regular camping ground near
kingwood is along the Cheat -river
and from daylight to dark no sign OF
life Is seen during encampment except
In khaki. This, according to the mem.
bers Of the guard pals after day or
two. Fairmont with it's large ex.
panse Of scenic territory Is able to
furnish the men all sorts of amuse.
ments and to KEEP them in proper spir.
1t.
It isems that the camp at Parkers.
burg last year has given the guards.
men an idea Of the difference between
camping in Caddell and near city.
They much prefer to be either In some
city or along car limo close to one.
Should the business men and cor.
porations of Fairmont have any infiu.
ence with the adjutant general Fair.
mont hay look forward to receiving the
boys in Khaki some time next month.
