Master Plumbers.

The master plumbers held a regular
meeting last evening in the new quar-
ters of the Builders Exchange in the
Board of Trade building.
Several of the members We're seen at
the conclusion of the meeting but
would say nothing except that a COM
munication containing a new set OF
rules was received from the journey

that this was read and discussed. The
plumbers say that the new set of rules
are almost identical with the others
presented with a few minor exceptions.

conference held last Saturday evening
the journeymen agreed to concede ev-
erything except the eight-hour demand.
They state that they even consented to

not make a single concession.
