CHICAGO, March S-An hour before
time for beginning work this morning
there had been a serious break in the
ranks of the Employing Plasterers' Asso-
citation and two hours later the disaffection
had become so pronounced that the men
who were supposed to be locked out were
not only certain that their troubles would
be over but the officers of their organiza-
tons were confidently predicting the dis
ruption of the bosses organization. The
cause of the break was the fact that sew
eral contractors had signed the agreement
presented By the striking plasterers and
hod carriers. Tonight after joint con-
ference between the officers of the Plas-
terers Union and the Hold Carriers and
Building Laborers' Union it was said that
there were not more than six hundred men
altogether who were affected by the order
of the Employers Association, which re-
duced wages. and ii was expected that by
tomorrow night the reports would be even

Mickle, GAIT in hand, was hopping
around behind me, more like a wild In
dian with a tomahawk than an expert
enced Irish water bailiff about to i'm
pale salmon. Sport, too, joined in the
infectious excitement and jumped at
my feet and barked at every splash that
the big fish made. Down along the riv-
er bank the cute old bailiff glided and
orept out behind projecting rock.
Once | almost coaxed him within strik-
ing distance of the one eyed gaffer, but
Mickle prided himself on his skill and
feared to run the risk of missing his
stroke OFF again dashed the fish across
the pool, as if warned by instinct of the
unseen danger, and it was fully ten
minutes ere l had him played back to
the proper point.
Then, like lightning flash, the cold
steel impaled him, and the great, quiv-
ering body was triumphantly lifted on
the gaff by the exultant bailiff, show
ing fish as beautiful as was ever land
ed. The sheen of his scales and the
small sea lice still clinging to him
showed that he had only just come up
from the salt water. 1t had taken me
exactly 40 minutes from the moment
be was hooked till he lay ON the bank,
and he weighed 28 pounds by my peck
ct scales
The thunder and lightning" fly was
carefully extracted from his Rullet, for
it had gone down deep, and the baihf
smiled i'll appreciation of the remarks
on his good judgment of water, wealth
er and flies which | felt in duty bound
to make. l had time for only a short
rest in the shade after my exciting ex-
perience, when splash splashi in front
invited me to the sport again. Sports
