Bus Service NormoIAgoin

 Boston, Oct. 17-(UP)-An early settlement was hinted today in the wage-hour dispute that caused a three-day strike by 1875 employees of the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Go. and the states worst transit tieup since 1912.
 Chairman Charles H. Cole of the State Arbitration Board reported that matters are progressing favorably after a five-hour discus sion with company and union off, cials. The conference was resumed this morning. The workers seek an increase from 9T cents to $1.25 per hour anda 40-hour week.
 Bus and trolley car service was normal again for 750,000 riders in 71 Eastern Massachusetts communi- ties, all the strikers having returned to work pending arbitration of the dispute. Cole was acting as medi- ator at the request of Gov. Maurice J. Tobin.
 Frank J. Murray, Coy. Tobin's emergency administrator of the state-seized railway, urged both sides to reach a quick and fair agreement in the public interest. He said he would stop supervising the railway as soon as an agree ment was reached between the com- pany and the Amalgamate Street, Electric Railway & Motor Coach Employees of America (AFL).
 The company reportedly had of- fered the workers a 13-cents-per- hour wage boost retroactive to V-J Day, giving them $1.10 per hour, in an effort to end the strike, but Murray denied such compromise had been made.
 Meanwhile, 1t was announced that request for a 20-cents-per-hour wage increase by 38O mechanics on the Boston Elevated Railway would be submitted to arbitration. Repre- sentatives of the International As- sociation of Machinists (AFL) said they had mo strike" contract with the company and that there was no danger of walkout. Boston was unaffected by the Eastern Massachusetts strike.

World Looks To U s. For Glass IO
 Repair Bomb Shattered NindotDs
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 New York, Oct. l7.--Glass-tlne simple ordinary window pane that most Americans take for granted, is one of the scarcest and most de- sired commodities in the European and Asiatic countries ripped by war.
 In Berlin even the hospitals face winter in which the windows will be unprotected by glass. Fuel-short millions face bitter cold and the dangers of pneumonia because they cannot protect their homes against the ravages of wind and snow.
 Only eight countries produced window glass in pre-war peace. Of these. only the United States has been able to continue production at full capacity. Seven companies, maintaining 12 mechanically equipped plants, make up the en- tire American sheet glass naanufac- turing industry.
 EXPORTS INCREASE
 Before the war, they exported one per CSIkU Ul tA1CAL vOvtsA O0VPuV' Now the United States will be called upon to supply large part of the worlds export markets.
 American window glass exports are expected to total more than 50,- OOO, 900 square feet annually for several years to come. This amount is far from prohibitive since window glass production totalled more than 300 million pounds in l94l.
 Always, in prosperous years, Americans have consumed large quantities of window glass. Thus the lush twenties saw demand for 100000, ,O0o pounds, as against depression needs for less than half that amount.
 Now, with new home construc- tion and factory rebuilding under way all but one per cent of the nations glass capacity has already been filled. To meet foreign de. mands, production must be stepped up to an even greater extent than in the industry's best years. MILLIONS OF MIRRORS
 This data, outlined in 8 United States Tariff Commission report, is coupled with the information that approximately 100 million square feet of glass has been used

during each year of the war for mirrors alone.
 Pinball machines, too, have been important users of window glass. Now that automobile production is beginning again, each new car will require from % to 50 feet of glass. And car production is ex- pected to run between five and six million new automobiles. Large quantities of glass will be needed.

too, for replacement of broken windows in used cars.
