Owing to difference existing over the
employment of men and helpers, it Is
likely that the journeymen plumbers will
go out on strike tomorrow morning.
The trouble is caused by the manner
in which the master plumbers insist. at
the present time, in engaging f1rst-class
men and juniors, or second-class men.
1t is claimed by the men that at present
than first-class. men, and a proposition
ulate this matter. The first-class men re-
ceive $3.50 per day, while the second-class
men draw $3.50 per day. At a meeting Of
the master plumbers in their rooms in
the Reardon block Friday, a proposition
was made by the journeymen that the
master should employ one Junior only
in each shop for every two first-claSS man
employed, or that a majority Of the EN-
ployes should be first-class men. 1t was
intimated that unless this plan was
agreed to. and to go into effect May ],
there would be trouble.
The proposition was discussed for two
hours by the masters at Friday nights
meeting, without arriving at any def
mite conclusions, and it was decided to
hold another meeting at the same place
on Monday evening The journeymen
will hald special meeting at Assembly
hall this afternoon at 2:30 to decide what
action will be taken in the matter, and
may decide to await the action of to-
morrow nights meeting of the bosses,
though many Of the masters expect to see
the journeymen go out on a strike to-
morrow morning.

Funds of the Cigarmakers.

The ennual report for the year 1898 of
International Treasurer Gibson Weber,
Of the cigarmakers' union, has been COM
pleted and is now being circulated among
the members of all the local unions. The
report makes interesting reading and
shows that during the yea, s547 2c6.27 was
received which. with the balance on hand
Jan. 1, 1898. of $l94, 30, made grand
total on hand at the end of the year Of
$741, ,5O657.
During the year the sum Of s513. 909 So
was expended for various purposes, leav-
ing a balance on hand JAM /, 1899, of S227,-
5@7.01. being an increase of s33. .356.H as
compared with the balance on hand Jan.
l. 1898. OF the net balance on hand at
the first of the year the report shows
that $S3, 0S0.5 SO is distributed among diff
ferent local branches as loans. The mem
bership of the International union on the
first of the year was 26, ,45O. The report
also shows that during the year 1898 $685.
77715 was paid out for sick, death and
other benefits, making a grand total of
81, ,e45. .463. 90 paid out to members on this
account by the order during the nineteen
years of its history.
The report Of Treasurer Weber does
not cover any part of this year since
Jan. last, but shows the financial trans
actions of each local in detail for the
year 1898 in very satisfactory manner.

Ritt Wants All of 1t or None
Seng Doing Business.
Complications In the fight between Rob-
ert Seng and G. P. Ritt, for the office of
assessor. are multiplying
Mr.. Ritt was elected to the Office un-
der the law passed by the recent legisla-
ture, while Mr.. Seng Is holding onto the
job as the former incumbent, under the
claim that the law Is unconstitutional. Mr..
RIFT was elected several weeks ago, but
beyond filing his bond and appointing
Henry Yost his deputy, has done nothing
to get possession. Yost is also Mr.. Sengis
deputy. Seng has steadfastly refused to
give up the Office until the courts pass
upon the law under which Ritt was
elected and has gone on conducting its
affairs as thought there was no other as
SCISSOR The emoluments of the office, it
is said, have wonderful fascination for
Mr.. Seng.
The situation has finally threatened
embarrassment to the transaction of pub
lie business as the annual personal prop
erty assessment is required by law to
begin tomorrow, and yesterday Assessor
Ritt and Mr.. Seng were gotten together
by County Auditor Johnson for a con-
sultation. A way out of the difficulty
was suggested, but Assessor Ritz refused
to accede to the plan. Mr.. Seng readily
agreed to the proposed arrangement, but
in the fact Of Assessor Ritt's refusal to
do so the situation is as complex as ever.
The plan suggested was that both AS
SCISSOR Ritt and Mr.. Seng act jointly in
the matter of making the personal assess
ment County Auditor Johnson stated
that he had been informed that such a
course would obviate all possibility Of the
assessments being hereafter questioned.
Mr. Seng signifed his willingness to con-
form to the plan. After a consultation
with his attorney. Mr.. Ritt refused to
agree to the proposition. He claimed he
had been elected assessor, and would not
consent to conduct the office on the part
nership plan.
County Attorney Bigelow, who had been
called into the consultation, then in
formed Mr.. Ritt that if he expected to
be the assessor of Ramsey county 1T
would be his duty to begin tomorrow to
make the annual personal property as
Sessment
Acting upon the advice of the county
attorney, County Auditor Johnson will
sign Mr.. Seng's pay roll up to April 25,
the day that Assessor Ritt qualified, thus
leaving the salary for the last five days
Of the month in allegiance. AS way of
effecting an expeditions settlement it is
suggested that Mr.. Seng might manda-
mus the county auditor, who could imme-
diately go into court and secure an early
decision that would settle the contro-
versy. But Mr.. Seng will likely do nothing
of the kind, as this would, in a measure,
put him on the offensive, position he
does not desire to assume.
So far as the commencement of the
personal property assessment tomorrow
Is concerned, Mr.. Ritt has made no
preparation to assume the work, but Mr..
Seng says it will begin according to law.
Mr. Seng has already secured his as
SCISSORS, and says they will start out on
time tomorrow morning. armed with
proper papers. books and authority.
