ST. LOUIS, April 25.-The master plas-
terers of this city have agreed to put the
S-hour system into effect on May l, and

rate was $3.50 for 10 hours. The new
rate is really an advan ce of 10 cents per
day. The jOurneymen are expected to
accept the plan and no trouble Is appre-
hended. The movement among the
stove moulders for an advance of 10 per
cent. in wages will no doubt result in
arbitration between the mOulders' union
and the stove companies, and the estab-
lishment Of q new scale Of prices, both
sides being entirely willing, and in fact
anxious, to make such arrangement and
definitely settle the matter of wages in
America satisfactorily to all concerned.
