GREEN NEWS OF MUNCIE.

Eighty Ball Bros'. Old Blowers to

Operate Machines.

MUNCIE, IND., Sept. 19. - Ball Bros. of this city have notified 80 of their old jar blowers that they would be given an opportunity to operate the jar making machine, with which this firm has decided to equip their entire plant of five continuous tanks.

The change from blowing by hand to machinery has caused a number of well known blowers to leave this city, among whom are George Kerns, who has gone to Fairmont, W. Va.; Geo. and John Reed have gone to Louisville to work. Harry P. Hoag will work in Albany the coming season.

David Price, Sr., who is well known to all old time green blowers, has moved on to his farm at Ansley, Neb., and reports that he likes the change very well. The retirement of Mr. Price from the green glass trade takes from our ranks a man who always worked to better the condition of his fellow-workers, and who has the respect and best wishes of his former associates in the glass business.

Messrs. James McMullen, William Thompson, Dan Taylor, Peter Kreamer, and Elmer Horton have moved to Covington, Ky., where they will work in the new co-operative factory, soon to be started in that city.

John Clark and William Delaney are associated in business in Louisville, Ky., and are reported as making a success of their venture.

The Port Glass Works of this city give no signs of an early resumption, and are undoubtedly awaiting a final settlement of the jar list.
