Indianapolis (IN) News, February 2, 1880, p. 2.
About 40 discontented polishers, smoothers and grinders at the DePauw
American Plate Glass Works at New Albany have gone on a strike for an
advance of 15 percent in their wages. They were making from $12.50 to
$22.50 per week. The fires in the furnaces of the works have been put out,
and the furnaces banked up. By this strike, 250 persons are thrown out of
employment in this department of the works, only about 40 of whom favor the
strike. The works will remain idle in the plate department indefinitely
unless the men choose to go to work at the old wages.
