Preparing for the Flints.

MUNCIE, IND., Nov. 8.   —   All the flint and green factories here are running steady at present. The green glass jar pressers went on piece work Monday.

John Rock has left Ball Bros. John didn't think well of the machines.   —   Albert Isrial, of Summitville, has accepted a pressing job at Hemingray's.   —   Kit Carson, late of Ball Bros., is pressing at Hemingray's.   —   Bobby McCaffrey, of Toledo, O., has accepted a job at Ball's.

It is said that Ball's will start their fifth tank soon. This will be running 90 press shops on the same machine-made jar. The shops make on an average of about 3,000 each for a day's work. This includes pints, quarts, and half-gallons, making a total of 270,000 jars per day, and it isn't a very good fruit year, either.

The different locals of the A. F. G. W. U. are appointing their committees for the coming convention to be held here. They will endeavor to make this one of the greatest conventions in the history of the flints.

The Trade Council is making a hard fight against Mark Tharp, the butcher, for handling unfair meats.

George Taylor (Shiner No. 2), a gatherer at the tank at Hemingray's, is going into the skate business.   —   MUNCIE.
