WORKERS. DEMANDS
BEING OBJECTED TO

While the association never at
tempts to fix prices, the market was
thoroughly discussed, and the concen-
sus Of opinion was strongly against
any further advance in window glass
prices at this time.
Reports presented showed that the
production now amounts to 100000
boxes q month.
Factory conditions and wages came
in for much discussion, nearly every
manufacturer attending having some
thing to say during the open debate.
The opinion was generally voiced that
the claims Of the glassworkers for
more pay at this time are not defend
able and that existing conditions do
not justify manufacturers in advance
ing wages. 1t was pointed out that
the workers are receiving more wages
this fire than last, and that they
agreed to eliminate the sliding scale
this year. Consequently they are con-
siderably better off financially now
than IL they had been working under
the sliding scale agreement, which
would only have applied to a portion
OF the blast.

Window Glass Manufacturers

titled by the Market.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 12.-The Glass
worker comments as follows on the
window glass situation:
The growing feeling among window
glass workers that they should be
given an advance in wages seems TO
have failed utterly in striking re-
sponsive chord in The minds of hand
plant manufacturers, and the wished
for raise will not materialize, for the
present at least.
Following very thorough discus
sion Of trade and factory conditions
at the meeting OF the National ASSOC
iation of Window Glass Manufacture
ers held in Indianapolis wednesday
Of this week, the matter of the work
ers' demands was referred to the wage
committee. 1t is not likely that the
committee will report on the question
until considerable later.
The Indianapolis meeting was well
attended, particularly by western
manufacturers. Twenty-Five members
of the association we're present, repre-
senting 1900 pots.

BROAD OAKS COUNCIL
HAS STORMY SESSION

election Of the sergeant was carried
over to the Friday night meeting
of the council.
All day Friday It was whispered
around that there were going to be
big doings Friday night, so the coun-
Gil chamber was filed to the doors
when Mayor Craddock called that
body to order.
During the week friends Of Mr..
Cofrman, who was disqualified to
hold the position of councilman to
which he was elected, had been busy
and just as soon as the council was
called to order. they gained the floor
and contested the right Of c. ], Cot
trill, recorder, and Nat Vance, coun-
Gilman elected at the January cleo
ton, to hold office. They stated that
Cottrill and Vance did not have
their taxes paid at the time Of the
election was held and according to
the laws Of the municipality were
not qualified to hold office.
This made the situation more
complicated, because II Cottrill and
Vance were not eligible to hold Of
flee, all the work OF the council at
its Monday night meeting was not
legal as there was not a quorum OF
legal councilmen present. They con-
tended, therefore. that the election
of Joseph N. Craddock and 7. j.
Holt. was not legal and that they
could not act last night.
With this mixed IN affair facing
them, many speeches were made by
both sides and hot remarks were
made by members of both sides
After arguing the question pro and
con for more than an hour, the Coun-
Gil adjourned until 1880 O'Clock Sat-
urday night when the fight will again
be taken up,
1t was learned Saturday that
when the meeting starts tonight that
Mayor-elect Charles McMunn will be
present and If the action OF the Coun-
Gil Monday night in accepting his
resignation was not legal, he will
preside over the meeting tonight.
II the other contested points can
be properly settled, a sergeant will
be elected at the meeting Saturday
night,

Friday Night and Another In
teresting One is Scheduled
for Saturday night.

Great political battles were fought
and won during the construction OF
the municipality of Broad Oaks but
never in the history of the small
municipality has there been such
bitter strife among the residents oil
that suburb as ut the present time.
The trouble all started at meet
ing Of the council held last Monday
night in the town hall when G. NJ.
| Coffman who was elected council
man at the January election was not
allowed to qualify as councilman
because he did not own 500 worth
OF personal property or at least he
was not taxed for 500 worth OF per-
sonal property. One OF the election
laws of the municipality require a
man to be taxed for at least 500
worth of property before he is eig-
ible to hold office
After throwing Coffman out Of his
Office Monday night, the newly elect
ed officers qualified and started to
transact business. The first business
before the body was to fill the va
cancy made by removing Mr.. Coff-
man.
The council elected 7. j. Holt to
fill the vacancy. The next business
before the council was to act upon
the resignation Of Charles McMunn
who was elected mayor at the Janu-
airy election but who for business
reasons could not serve. The coun-
Gil accepted his resignation and elect
Joseph r. Craddock mayor. The
newly elected mayor then qualified
and took charge Of the meeting. II
was at this point that the trouble
started. When the council took up
the election of sergeant for the city,
it was learned that the council was
divided as to which of the two ap-
plicants for the position should be
elected. Charles N. Pearrell, the
present holder Of the position, and
Joseph Lynch were the two appli-
cants. After much argument the
