PLUMBERS AND GAs-FIrTERs.
They VIII Demand Reduction of Hours


May LIST.
Few members Of the Plumbers and Gas
filters Union were absentfrom the meeting
of the organization, which was held last
night in the Aleazar Building 1t was one
of the most important meetings held by the
union, as the question of demanding a re-
duction of hours after May LIST was taken
up for settlement.
The debate was long and animated and
resulted in the adoption of a resolution that
on and after May 1st the members will
work but eight hours per day. The crafts
represented in the union are thoroughly
organized, and it is thought that few en-
ployers will be found to oppose the demand
which will be made four weeks hence.
The union voted TO give 500 per month
to the iron-molders until their strike is set
tied and 500 per month to the core-makers
who are on strike.
The Secretary of the union also reported
that since the above strike began the num-

The Tank Scene


Q In "a Dark Secret" now running at the
Grand Opera House to a crowded audto-
rum, is the piece de resistance of the whole
drama. 1t is triumph of realism, and
more than any literary excellence of the
text do those who attend the performances
demand the realistic effects. Peterson's
boat-race, the steam launch, the plunge of
the heroine and her rescue, the illuminated
church on the bank Of what is supposed to
be the Thames, the Fly Not Yet" quar-
tet of the boating party on the
river, and even the ducks that float so COM
pacently on the surface and preen them
selves as they float, are more Interesting
than the choicest text that might emanate
from an authors brain. And talking of
these aquatic fowl, it was suggested to the
management that the effect Of tine water
scene might be heightened by the introduce
nCn Of a couple of swans and few geese :;
but it was found on investigation that the
larger birds died soon after being intro
duced behind the scenes. The sturdy little
sprigtail could alone stand the effect of bad
acting.
