MANAGER OF THE LANCASTER GLASS WORKS TELLS HIS SIDE OF THE TROUBLE OF MONDAY _________ David Hummell, manager of the Lancaster Co-operative Glass Works denies some of the statements made concerning an alleged strike at the works of his company. Mr. Hummell says that on Monday about fifteen young boys employed in the glass works, led by two or three older boys quit work. There was a shut down in the works on Monday, but work was resumed as usual on Tuesday. These boys, Mr. Hummell says, have had the privilege of receiving their pay in money or in orders on a store maintained by the glass company. The employees were permitted to exercise their preference as to the manner of payment. Some of the boys took their pay part in orders and part in cash and others never traded at the store at all. The company knew nothing of any dissatisfaction till Sunday and even now Mr. Hummell says he does not know why the boys quit work. The company has kept on a number of hands, Mr. Hummell says, largely out of sympathy for the families of the employees and at no time during the ???? of ???? ??? was there a cut in wages. The firm claims to treat its employees fairly and the recent trouble was not one of its making.
