CLASS MAKERS
FACE SLUMP

Makers of plate glass were
working at a high rate during
February, March and April to
supply the needs of the automo-
bile industry, but a sharp drop
in output has taken place during
the past two weeks.
Both leading producers. Pitts
burgh Plate Glass Company and
Libbey- Owens Ford Glass Com
pany, regained a profitable basis
in 1888. Expansion in sales early
this year resulted in further gains
in profits. Pittsburgh Plate Glass
first quarter this year was very
satisfactory, President Whereof
said.
The slump now taking place in
demand is seasonal. Reductions
of about is per cent in plate
glass prices and 1712 per cent
in window glass prices will tend
to restrict earnings in coming
months. But the good results n
the early months of the year
place both companies in a posi-
ton to show materially better
results for 1884 than they did
for 1888.
The trend of the automobile
industry appears likely to be the
determining factor in results of
the plate glass makers for the
balance of the year. Building
construction and automobile pro-
duction ordinarily consume a
major share of plate glass, with
furniture manufacturers a less
important consumer of glass in
the form of mirrors. Up to pres
ent, building has shown few evil
dences that any impressive re-
vival is taking place.
The demand for window glass,
which is made by both compa-
nies, continues slow. Window
glass is dependent principally on
residential construction.
The general swing of the auto
mobile industry to the use of
safety glass has been helpful to
the glass companies which are
equipped to make this product.
Safety glass consists of two thin
plates Joined by a plastic mate
rial. This doubles the square feet
Of glass needed to equip an auto
mobile. All automobile makers
have made safety glass standard
in windshields and many have
made it standard in all windows.
Pittsburgh Plate Glass recently
increased the capacity OF it's
safety glass plant by 60 per cent.

It was the third consecutive

The increase put private in
dustrial employment at the
December, 1880 level and pay

an increase Of 37.4 per cent in
employment above April, 1888
and 1875 per cent in pay rolls
for the same period.
Principal gains were in auto
mobile, steel, foundry and ma
chine industries.

COTTON PRICES
TURN EASIER

NEW YORK, May 18 u.Ns.)
The cotton market turned re-
dictionary today.
Futures were lower from the
first call. Initial losses of 2 to S
points in the local market were
extended slightly in later deal
ings on small selling orders, as
the majority of traders were con
tent to adopt a Side-line position
pending further developments in
!; the silver situation.
A number Of professionals and
local traders took profits in the
: forenoon that had been realized
on the advance of more than
$3.50 since the start of the cur
rent week.
: There was some selling attrib'
uted to New Orleans and the
South, while spot firms sold in
a small way. Buying was linn
rited to routine price-fiXing opera
: tions by the continental and do
mestic trade, and Scale-down pur'
chaseS by the Far East.

Yet these are the men who howl
loudest about their rights. They
howl while they themselves feel
no responsibility whatever for their
own children, because they can walk
jauntily of from half-starved fami-
lies, leaving their wives TO bear their
babies in poverty and pain and to
support them afterward. They
not only desert their posts Of d1Ity
but they scatter their illegitimate
children about, apparently unmoved
by their helpless plight.
It's quite time, I think, that some
body spoke to them about the citi-
zenship rights of Woodworking men
and women who are going TO have
to support the youngsters they sire
so carelessly. The person who de-
liberately refuses to accept respon-
sibiIty for his own family shouldn't
be permitted to increase it, to say
the least.
Men expect certain rights from
their governments; well, a govern
ment should expect in return a GER

Foreclosure Houses

f Farm income, in spite of the drouth, shows gain over 1883. Clothing trades are distinctly on the up, and will remain 50 unless the textile strike lasts too long. Work in these two primal necessities Is moving. The serious lag is in the third necessity, shelter. There is hesitancy in the lending of money for building. One reason for this hesitancy is the ownership by banks of great numbers of foreclosed houses. The banker, asked for building loan, in many cases refuses because he thinks the new house will compete with the foreclosure house. A competent archl- tect remarked the other day that this logic was wrong.
 "People's minds do not work that way. The man who wants to build new house on a lot he already owns does not want to buy another, even at bargain. He will stay where he is until he can build. But if he does build, the architect, contractor and a dozen craftsmen got their share, not to mention all the men engaged on materials lumber, brick, cement, plaster and so on. Carpet, curtain ana furniture trades benefit also.
 "All these men are going to spend their money. If enough gets moving around, people who have been renting small quar- teTS or are doubled up are gong to ger around to the bank to buy it's foreclosure bargain houses. Many original owners will buy them back. But if building does not get started, there will be still more foreclosure houses on the banks hands, and there's a competition with vicious descending spiral instead of cheerful as- sending one."
 This was a new point to the group of men who heard it, but they nodded their heads slowly, following the implications and putting up no opposing argument. The one point upon which everyone agrees to-day is that building must soon start-or there will be more trouble than has yet been seen. There are plenty of men, plen- ty of money, plenty of need for buildings. Are Americans going to lie down and let waves of distress wash over them because they havent't got gumption enough to get those three factors together?
