First Break in Ranks as Marion Glass Workers Desert Denny
Special to the Indianapolis Journal from Marion Ind reports the Marion Window Glass Company workers withdraw from the independent L A 2 and align with the existing L A 3 led by Simon Burns. John L Denny travels from Pittsburg to Marion to attempt reversal as fear grows the move could fracture the independent glass sector. The New York meeting of the National Window Glass Jobbers Association decides to restore prices and quote them directly to customers as part of a broader industry dispute involving American Window Glass Company and independents. A telegram from Leopold Hambourg in Muncie indicates wage advances announced by American Window Glass Bekng are supported by other associations representing over fifty factories and 5,000 workers, mainly in the Middle West.
