Glass Plants to Close.

It develops that the visit of President James A. Chambers and General Manager George Moore of the American Window Glass company to the factories in the gas belt of Indiana was due to a desire of the company to close some of the smaller pot plants. Of the forty-two factories owned by the trust twenty-six are located in the Indiana gas belt. The blowers and gatherers at the small plants will be put in the large tank factories, which are short of help. It is probable the shut-down will occur at the beginning of warm weather.
