V To Introduce ih sunlight lfftc his hom th horn- builder -must -pay-from IS' to 4 per cent mora for the windows than they would .cost a' month ago laid down In Portland.,. Th reason given . Is .that th eastern glass factories ; be v Shut down at a time when there waa a short- age of glass lp the hands of 'Jobbers.: Various explanations are given - for this sction" by -the factories.' - A- glass manufactorers. .combine,., comprising about II of the largest factories In the country, undertook' soms years hgo to control the industry of tnl i country, under cover of a high protective, tariff that kept foreign glass out of reach of the American consumer. ? A number of Independent glass -factor) started, and have mad much trouble for the combine by cutting prices. , It la said that wheu a shut-dawn occurred - last year there waa so much glass on tha market' that prices went to th bottom-. . vs . This year the' reverse I ' tru. v The shut-down is made 'at. a time, when few eastern ' Jobbers "havS cornered the small supply of glass on hand, and they have sent ' prices '1 up to t figures nearly double the former schedule. Kvea at th sky-rocket' prices quoted today there are -very, limited quantities of sta- pl else of glaes to be had. ' Liocat deal era can ."fill amall orders, Tbut sr ' not soliciting large sales. . A,', greenhouse man who wishes to build a glaas struc ture at this time Is fortunate If he gets enough glsas for -the undertaking. At th F. K. Beach .stora.lt Is said th situation la mad unreasonably se ver -on - th - consumer .by-av lew'- cotv sclenceless Jobbers In " the east... who perceived the . situation .In' time ,to cor ner the glaas, end then shot the. price up, ' wringing golden tribute from every man In the oountry who has .prepared to build a houee thla fall;.-, A-window pane that cost tl centa a month ago now cost 10 cents. ; This 1 a aampl of the increase. In. prices..- The .staple elses ef glass are the 'highest -and scarcest- ' Flaher.: Thoraen Co, aay that while the advance haa bert nearly 40 pr cent, th price of glass- was-formerly too low. and that It Is not too-high at this time. They say th. worst feature of th sit uation Is scarcity of staple alses for building purpose,' and that , the high price would not materially affect build ing If there were plenty of glas to' b hsd. Mr. : Thoraen said: - . . W favor Independent " factories,' and buyee per cent of our glens from them- If a glass Tactory: could b established In Portland it would have the advantage of a fixed equity Of 10 per cent In the prlo. savsd from the ' freight rat for the long railroad haul' front the' east Such an-equity . would be- a Bne profit for a. factory and insure Its prosperity. If eultable sand could be found such a factory might be started here. There. Is sn Immense amount of glass consumed on thla cohst. Portland uses about 121 carloads annually, and sehdr to the east ern mills about $150,003 every yeer that might be kept at home. The ' Jobblsg' houses of this city would keep seversl factorlea busy.": '" ' - ';: t He eald the tariff. Is a,' useless, pro tection, ss the quality of American glaaa alone le sufficient to keep out foreign competition. Th 'Germ on glass factory product Is so fsr inferior to American glaas that It would not prove a serious factor In th msrket, even If admitted free, excepting at time when th Arr.r 1 en manufacturers pfsrtln extortion Are Yom Bm ilffliii ...
