WINNING THEIR STRIKE.
Chicago Plumbers and Carpenters Gaining
Ground.

Chicago, April s.-The situation in
the plumbers strike grows interesting.
Yesterday the journeymen got on the
aggressive and succeeded in inducing
every non-union man in town to leave
his work. The plumbers say that this
was done by persuasive means alone,
and that no coercion was necessary TO
get the non-union men to stand by the
strikers.
CARPENTERS GET THEIR DEMANDS.
1t is Shought that there will be no
strike of the carpenters. They have de-
manded forty cents an hour for day of
eight hours. Until yesterday the Mas
ter Carpenters Association had taken no
official notice of their demand. After
several conferences, however the mem
berS of the Masters Association deter
mined to advance the wages OF all the
men in their employ five cents an hour,
and make eight hours uniform days
work This is practically conceding
the larger past of the demands made by
the men. Whether they will be content
TO cOncede the reduction of five cents an
hour from their demands i'm return for
for the concession of an eight hour day
by the Masters Association, remains to
be seen; but it is believed from what has
been said by the leaders of the present
agitation, that an agreement will be
reeched without any great difficulty.

\ CONFERENCE
Held Between Committees of the Build
ers' Exchange and Trades Council.

A conference was held last evening
between the Conference Committee Of
the Builders Exchange and the Execu-
tive Committee of the Building Trades
Council. On the workmen's side PreSi.
dent Roland Of the National Brother
hood Of Carpenters and Joiners. and
Vice President Schwartz, OF PittSburg.
were present also, while President w.
A. Wilson OF the Builders Exchange.
was present in addition To the commit.
tee.
The meeting was held at the Cham
Der of Commerce and was called foT
7:30 o'clock, but as last evening was the
regular meeting night of the Building
Trades Council that body had a short
meeting beforehand, and it was eight
o'clock when the Building Trades
Council Committee appeared.
When the meeting was called To or
der Mr.. Theodore Wagner, Of the latter
committee, was selected as chairman
and Mr. ID. r. Brooks was made secre-
tary. Reporters from the morning
dailieS were present. at the invitation OF
the Builders Exchange, who at an
afternoon meeting had passed reSolu-
tion inviting them. Amotion was made
by a member OF the Exchange Commit
tee that the reporters be allowed 10 re-
main and il was carried.
Mr.. Swartz asked permission TO speak.
and he stated that there being no posi-
bility Of final settlement at the meet
ing, he didn't consider that their proceed
ingS ought to be made public, but said
that at any final meeting he would be-
willing to have the reporters present.
The Exchange Committee wanted the
reporters to remain, but aS the other
side objected, the newspaper men were
put on the retired list. and the confer
encc proceeded until nearly half-paSt
eleven o'clock. and there was great
deal Of talk INDUCED in during that
time. The Building Trades Council Com
mittee, having no power 10 act. Of course
nothing final could be accomplished.
President Roland stated that the local
Brotherhood had perhaps made several
mistakes and that the Builders EX-
change had done the same. while Mr.
Wilson challenged any one To show
where they had made any mistake in
the hccontroycrSy. And 50 the merry war
of words went on and nothing was ac-
compliShed.
Mr.. Wilson stated in the meeting that
the planning mills would positively start
up next week with either union or non
union hands. and that the other con-
tractors would follow suit.
II was arranged to have another con
ference at the Chamber of Commerce
Saturday morning at o'clock. at
which time it Is expected that the
Building Trades Council Committee will
have full power to act in the matter. \
member OF the Exchange Committee
said last night that il would be useless
to have another meeting unless the
Workmen's Committee possessed this
power.
President Roland said last evening
that hc considered the outcome Of the
meeting favorable and he thought a
compromise could be- arrived at Satur-
days meeting.
