Uncle Sam has become the greatest
patron OF the locomotive works and
car building establishments of the
country they have ever known. Only

Philadelphia for 1900 locomotive en-
Eines. AS they are TO be OF the same

The same works are now winding uD
railways under government control.
About 200 Of these engines have been
finished and delivered and 1t is ex-
pected the balance will be compile ID

september PSI new engines and alto

Uncle Sam has also been keepinelthe

THE GLASS INDUSTRY
AS 1T ONCE WAS
The commission brings out some al
irost forgotten facts and figures. which
show that prior TO the war the three
principal departments in this Industry
We're building glass. pressed and blown
ware and bottles and jars. Since the
Colonial period. bottles, window glass
bowls and goblets have been made In
1879 the manufacture of tableware be-
gan. l,late glass started in 1882. and
ued at Sl2S0oo.0oo. and Il occupied "a
5o2 employees. This production was
practically all consumed in this coun-
lEE. Inc exports of window and plate
glass amounted 10 only sS1l.33a for the
year ending June 80. 1914. and the ex-
Ports OF bottles and jars in the same
year was iittle over 100000. Then
the war came a. and the glass exports
increased by leaps and bounds until it
reached the value of SlS.55453O Mt the
end OF the last fiscal year. In 1914 the
imports 10 the United States amounted
TO $S.2la,1l2 At the end of the last
nscai year. June 80, they had fallen off
very nearly - per cent, which goes to
show THAT the war simply threw the
glass industry OF this country on its
Own resources
