the town before the Decentralization of
the troops from the cascoes. which was
made under the enemy's shrapne! fire.

PLUMBERS 60 ON A STRIKE.
Journeymeu Demand nm Increase Of
Wages and Walk Ont When the
Masters Refuse.

Sixty journeymen plumbers struck yes
terday morning as a result of secret
meeting held in the Collins building Mon
day night.
The strikers demand higher wages. They
are now receiving "a a day; they want
$3.50. The master plumbers refuse TO ac-
coed to the demand primarily. they claim,
because an agreement, drawn up and sign
ed by joint conference COMMITTEES last
summer has not been adhered to. The
joint committee consists OF four journey
men and four master plumbers. 1t is
claimed. by the master plumbers that I'M
der the agreement no increase of wages
can be demanded without three months
notice.
Instead of striking yesterday the men
should have given them, they claim. notice
that higher wages would be demanded
next August. The strikers deny that any
such construction as this can reasonably
be placed upon the agreement
Archibald Ayres president of the Mas
ter Plumbers Association. says the Jour-
neymen have not lived up to their agree
ment, inasmuch they agreed not to de-
mand higher wages until August l. The
strikers are determined to force the Issue,
and IL IL claimed. union men Of other
trades now working on buildings where
plumbing is being put in will join the
plumbers in a sympathy strike Thursday
unless the demands of the latter ara sat
isfactorily met
The master plumbers are equally de-
termined and have. 1t is said, offered their
services TO each other in case Of an emery
ency. They will hold a meeting today in
Masonic hall to plan concerted action
