Hemingray did not shut down

A GENERAL SHUTDOWN.

Glass Factories For the Vacation Covering

July and August.

Muncie, Ind., July 1. — There was a general shutdown last night among the glass factories in the gas belt for the midsummer vacation, and throughout this section it is estimated that fully 20,000 mea are laid off. This is not unusual during July and August; and the vacation is utilized, by many of the workmen in visiting their former homes.

The two window glass factories in this city each let out 600 workmen, and as there is a wage difference to be adjusted during the vacation, with more or less dissension among the workmen themselves, the prospect for a resumption of work in September is not so fluttering us ir might be. This dissension is between the flatteners and cutters upon the one hand, and the blowers and gatherers upon the other, with the first named complaining that President Burns is throwing the weight of his influence against them. The exceptions in the general shutdown is the Hemengray [sic] Hemingray and Muncie glass plants of this city, who will be permitted to continue at work, in order to better meet the opposition of nonunion plants.
