The grinders started to work in the Plate Glass works Monday morning and the ri'st of the factory was in operation next day, bnt not enough layers are at work to lay the number of tables of glass usual liefore the strike. Many of the men left Butler to seek work in other factories. While the factory officials claim that the extra table which caused the strike, only have made the local workmen do the same work for tho same money as the workmen in other factories do, the men say they were over worked without the extra table, To an outsider, it hardly seems fair for a con cern which is paying its officials nice fat salaries and whose stock has in creased in value 200 percent in two yew. to virtually cut the laborer's wages by giving themextra work.
