PLUMBERS GO OUT.


Trouble Between Workman and Master
Plumber Causes Six Men to Lay Down
Their Tools.
Six union plumbers employed by
Benjamin f. Shaw, plumber and steam.
filter, at 3l5 Orange street, laid down
their tools on Saturday and went out in
accordance with the request of the local
union, which issued Instructions to that
effect. The secretary of Union &c last
week sent notice to all the master
plumbers that after Monday no union
man would be allowed to work in the
same shop where non-uniOn men were
employed, The average wages of jour
neymen plumbers is about $3.50 day,
while some get SO and few get 1895.
One of the men who quit work Satur-
day made this explanation Of the ditli
Guilty: "This is in no sense strike.
For long time we have been trying to
come to some kind of an understanding
with the bosses, but nothing was ever
accomplished. Promises enough were
made, but it is generally understood that
the rules that have been submitted by
our organization to the master plumbers
have always been thrown III the waste
basket. Now we understand that they
are willing to do something. Whining
ton plumbers are among the best in the
country. There is hardly man claim
ing TO be first-class hand in town that
cannot work lead and iron, one as well
rs another. The men who come here
from other cities as rule are men that
can work only one kind!of pipes. Take
the rate Of wages ruling from Washing
ton to New York and it will be about a
dollar day above what is paid in Will
mington. The master plumbers are
always kicking and as far as can see
the only real ground of complaint they
have is the fact that they are always
cutting each others throats."
The six union plumbers employed by
Benjamin f. Shaw returned to work
on Tuesday morning and no further
trouble is expected. The non-unionist
