THE BUILDING CONSPIRACY.
New Assault by Union Fakirs ON New
YOrk,s Returning P~roAnertt

WIRE AebuFnbUR PROSPERITY.
NEW YORK, March 80, 1S96.-Although
the situation is rather critical 1t is not
considered certain that a general strike
of the men employed in the building
trades is imminent as the result of the
lockout by the Master Steam and Hot
Water Filters Association yesterday of
LOO steam filters and their helpers. be-
cause the latter would not sign new
rules. The master steam filters declared
that the men violated the agreement
with the Masters Association in causing
a strike against a firm of master steam
filters without first submitting the oues-
ton to a committee of arbitration as
provided in the agreement. According to
the impression that existed among the
men today, the threatened strike of the
trades, which would affect about $4,000
men, nay be averted.
A more peaceful complexion was given
TO the trouble by the result of the arbi-
tration conference held last evening at
the house of Bishop Potter. After dis
cussing the various features. it was
agreed to submit a plan of arbitration
to the unions involved in the dispute. IT
is proposed to appoint three members of
the Gas Filters Union and three mem
bers of the Plumbers Union and a sew
enth mar from another trades union for
the purpose of considering the trouble
and arriving at a settlement which will
be agreeable to all parties concerned.
The only danger, in the opinion OF the
men, Is that the seventh man would be
obliged to settle a tie by his vote.
Ine annual meeting of the Master
Steam and Hot Water Filters Associa-
ton IS called for today. 1t was said that
the strike subject would undoubtedly be
discussed and measures adopted, but 1t
was generally believed that the whole
matter would be left in the hands of the
Executive Committee. pending the result
of the proceedings for arbitrating the
trouble. -
The j-ourneymen steam filters gathered
about their headquarters today and dis
cuSSed the situation. The Board al
Walking Delegates also conferred on the
subject.
The Mason Builders Association will
meet tonight at the Building Trades Club,
No. lit East T~wenty-third street, when
the matter of the threatened strike will
come up as a part of the business to be
transacted.
Before the steamftters can go back to
work their employers say they must sign
an agreement to work eight hours a day
with one hours intermission for lunch.
Steamfitters to receive $3.50 per day and
helpers 81. 1t is further stipulated that
the men will not be paid double rates for
WORK performed on Sundays and legal
holidays.
The refusal Of the men to sign the
has brought about the Trouble.
1t is hoped that they Will agree to sign
after the arbitration committee shall have
the case
