SWEEPING CHARGES MADE
Production Curtailed, Arbi-
trarily Controlling It's Sale,
Shipment and Delivery.

Joseph NJ. Neenan, labor leader and
president of the National Glass Work
ers; the Johnston Brokerage Company
of Pittsburgh and 102 other defendants,
including the leading window glass
manufacturers of the country. were
indicted yesterday by the retiring Fed
eral Grand jury which has been in
vestigating evidence produced in the
sessions of the Lockwood investigating
committee in regard to the actions of
materials. The corporations named in
the indictment comprise about two
thirds of the window glass industry of
the country.
The defendants named in the indict-
ment are all charged generally with
formation or participation in a con-
spiracy and combination to suppress
competition, maintain excessive and
extortionate prices and to curtail the
production and supply of window
glass, thereby arbitrarily controlling
It's sale. shipment and delivery into
this district as we'll as to other States.
The Indictment specifies the manner in
which this alleged restriction on the
production was accomplished.
Price Fixing Scheme.
According to the information on which
the indictment is based. the defendants
r. q ixrin
window glass output and appointed
sole selling agent through whom all the
glass was to be sold, this agent to fix
the prices for all the manufacturers of
the glass. 1t is charged that the John
ston Brokerage Company of Pittsburgh,
with offices in this city and In other
cities throughout the East and middle
West, was the selling agent for the glass
manufacturers and also set the prices
and apportioned the business among the
various glass concerns.
An agreement, the indictment alleges.
was entered into by the Johnston
Brokerage Company and others of the
general glass combination, with the
labor union Of the National Window
Glass Workers, through Neenan, their
head whereby the quantity of glass to
be produced each year by each concern
would be preordained and prescribed.
The amount OF glass to be manufac-
tured by each employee was also set
down, it is charged, and the rules of the
agreement were that the employees
would not work for any manufacturer of
window glass who did not sign the So
called wage scales" which were re-
quired of them.
Under plan known as the twenty
three week system" the factories were
permitted by the combine to operate
about twenty-three weeks out of the
year. A certain quota of the manufac-
tured product was set, il is alleged, as
was also brought out in the Lockwood
testimony, and when the manufacturer
completed this quota he shut down
whether or rot he had been running the
full twenty-three weeks allotted. In
some cases it was divulged that the

Small Hurricane Did Much
Damage to Property Here
More than $4,000 Damage Done
By Violent Wind Storm

laundry building suffered SINH
lar damage. A high chimney
on the Mitchell building went
over, as did one on the Times
building.
At the Bayfield, County Bank
things were turned topsy-turvy
when the plate glass window
went in. Paper money, drafts,
notes and other papers lying
upon the desks were blown into
a corner near the vault and the
employees sought refuge in the
outer rooms of the buildings
There was no loss here other
than damaged furniture and
the broken window. All money
and papers were recovered.
The Omaha railway also suf-
fered heavy damage when two
strings of box cars standing on
the siding leading to the docks
were started by the wind and
speeded down the tracks to-
ward the docks. At the V the
two strings came together and
nine cars piled up in a heap and
were badly wrecked.
At the city machinery shed
considerable damage was done
when the wind picked this build
ing up and throWed it against
the Bennett White house adj
joining.
The Congregational church
met with serions damage from
wind and rain. The art glass
windows went in as did also the
windows at the rear of the
building.
Around town a few chimneys
were damaged and shingles
were loosened from the roofs
but it was not until the storm
reached DUPONT Park addition
that serious damage was done.
Here the barn of John Bour-
geois was turned over and there
is not a small outbuilding stand
ing in this section.
The railing around the dome
at the County Court honse was
torn away.
One of the freaks of the storm
was played at the Roy Jackson
home in Dupont Park. Mr..
Jackson had a hot. bed covered
with storm sash and these were
carried several hundred feet but
not a pane of glass was broken.
When the storm broke over
Washington avenue it appeared
to be too high to do much dam
age but it came to the ground
again near the Thoreson farm
and at this place the hay shed
was scattered over the 40 acre
tract and all small buildings
were turned over.
The storm travelled at a rapid
rate over a narrow path and
lasted only about five minutes.
The storm was not felt at ASH
land, Bayfield, or Barksdale and
west of the city the wind was
not much stronger than during
an ordinary storm. At Cable
some little damage is reported
but other adjoining points re-
port no damage.
This storm recalled to the
minds of old residents the
storm which swept this city in
'91, in which one person was
killed and several were severe
ly injured.
IT is but seldom that Wash
burn is visited by bad storws.
The fringe of hills west and
north of the city serve to break
the storms and it is on but rare
occasions that such a blow is
felt here.

CREAMERY PLANT SUF-
FERS HEAVIEST DAMAGE.
Several Have Narrow Escapes
From Falling Chimneys and
Falling Debris. Storm Covers
Narrow Path. ..

The second disastrous storm
to visit this city since the
founding of the townsite more
than thirty-six years ago, oc-
cured on Monday afternoon at
about two o'clock when a hurri-
cane of small proportions swept
through the city, doing damage
which will run up to more than
$4,000.
Shortly after the noon hour
the weather turned extremely
warm and storm clouds gat-
hered along the western hori-
zon, and at about two o'clock
the storm broke over the city
with all its fury, sweeping be-
fore it small buildings, bill
boards, brick fronts and brick
chimneys, and tearing things
up generally.
The storm lasted but about
five minutes, yet during that
time, tremendous damage was
was done, and several had close
calls from being crushed under
falling walls and chimneys.
The path of the storm SEEM
ed to be about three blocks wide
and extended from the Sprague
mill property north through
the city over the edge of the
hills along the Washington
avenue route.
At the site of the Anchor
Shipbuilding Company little
damage was done by the wind
besides tearing down the fences
around the property, but many
of the empoyees were rolled a.
bout the ground in their attempt
to get under cover in the build
ings. 1t is reported that one
man was blown a distance of a.
bout two hundred feet, but was
uninjured.
At the plant OF the Sprague
mill the big smoke stack was
leveled to the ground and some
lumber was scattered around the
ground.
The first property to suffer
damage along the main street
was the Anderson grocery store
where the plate plass front was
blown out. Next came the gar
age of Pirnie & Son where the
brick front was leveled to the
roof and the plate glass was
sprung from the frames and
art glass was bent and twisted.
A number of people were in this
place and sought safety in the
basement of the building. Roy
Jackson, was doing carpenter
work on near by building, at
tempted to seek refuge in this
garage, but could not open the
door on account of the high
wind, and was forced to remain
outside and the entire brick
wall fell over his head and
landed on the cement walk. A
part of the sign struck him on
the head, but he was Only
slightly injured.
At the Goedeke store adjoin-
ing and at the Cash and Carry
Meat market the plate glass
fronts were broken out.
The heaviest damage OF the
storm was suffered by the Che
quamegon creamery company
where the 25 foot brick stack
went over, crashing through
the roof and knocking cut the
rear wall of the building. The
helper at the creamery had just
left the rear room when the
chimney crashed through the
roof. Damage to this proper
: ty will total 100000.
At the Amos Hansen Furni-
tnre store two large plate glass
windows were broken. The old
