Quit work rt the Instance of the
Union In Omaha.
The plumbers strike in this CITY is now in
full blast and every union man has quit
work. The men employed in the Bixby and
stephan shops quit about week ago and the
men working for the New York Plumbing
company threw down their tools Monday
under orders from the Omaha union. The
shops are now employing non-unon plumb
ere and the bosses said yesterday that un-
der no consideration would they comply with
the demands Of the union plumbers.
Since the plumbers of this city Joined the
union in Omaha there has been more or less
friction between them and their employers.
1t culminated when the union plumbers at
tempted to compel the proprietors of three
plumbing establishments here to sign an
agreement recognizing the Omaha union and
to deal with the union direct in place of
with the plumbers individually as had been
the custom in THE city heretofore. The
bosses positively refused to enter into any
such agreement and the walkout followed.

hurting us any, Unless the men who have

will be in bad shape. One man who has

days before the regiment left, said he would
return with the others. Smith went to
Council Bluffs to meet his son and there
first learned that he was not on the train.
