Arrangements for the greatest convention ever held by the American Flint Glass Workers' Union, to take place in Bellaire, O., beginning June 30, are near completion.

The committees with this in charge have been working for months and have laid plans for a gigantic feast of fun. Many serious matters will come before the meeting, such as wage advances, shorter hours, revision of time and the like.
