THE STEAM FILTERS STRIKE.
What the Employers Haveto Say
About the Situation. a

+. A. Williams, of the executive com

steam filters and helpers employed by
George A. Suttor on the Columbia college
buildings tried TO force MIR Sutter To set
tie the trouble between the steam-fitters
and plumbers there. On Mr. Suffers re-
fusal To do so, the men were called out.
We felt that il Mr.. Sutter had yielded the
men would proceed against US In turn.
The time had core, we thought, for
decided stand. We are in much better
position 10 stand the closing of the shops
then the men are. This Is the dullcst per-
iod I'm the year for us and we are by no
means employing full complement of
mon In few days we will have all the
men we want In the meantime we will
give the old hands u chance TO return
provided they sign the new rules. The
MastcrSteam- filters association will lprob-
ably take no decided action I'm the matter
today. lone of the strikers i'm spoakinglof
the new ruios proposed by the bosses said.
"As the rules stand, they look good
enough. The fault with them Is that
they eliminate one very important rule
from the old agreement. This rule al
lowed the workmen to cut all the pipo
between y inches and Ii inches. Now
the bosses propose TO cut all the pipe
themselves In the shops by means of ma
chimes This will necessarily give less

stage reached in the middle of May last
year, and with nearly two months of wet
weather the outlook is gloomy. Thou
sands OF dollars have already been swept
