MUNCIE, Ind., June 25. — The strike inaugurated at the Hemingray flint-glass works by the sixty boys employed in the tank department yesterday has resulted in closing down the entire factory. The day-turn boys in the molding rooms quit this morning, and, after working four hours to-night, at 10 o'clock the night-turn boys joined the strikers, and the factory was compelled to close down. When the last shift marched out with aprons on the boys on the outside gave a mighty yell of victory. The strikers are aged from seven to twelve years. They demand an increase of 15 cents, or 75 cents per day.
