STRIKE IS NOT YET OVER.
Journeymen Plumbers still Hold
Out for Advance In Wages
Masters Are Firm.

The journeymen plumbers strike is ap-
preaching a critical stage Both the mas
ter plumbers and the strikers continue to
hold firmly to their propositions submitted
several days ago. The master plumbers
are working together, helping one anoth-
be finished. They claim to be able TO
hold out, and that they are able TO get
plenty OF men whenever necessity pre-
sents itself. The plumbing shops of the
city were deserted yesterday, as ali the
master plumbers were out working on I'M
finished contracts. Few OF them are ac-
cepting new contracts.
That the strike is assuming serious pro-
portions is evidenced by the fact that a
number of the journeymen yesterday re-
moved their tools from the shops where
they had been working. This IL looked
upon as an indication that the Journey
men are firm in their resolve TO hold out
to the bitter end, II Is said In some quar-
tiers, however, that the strikers are be-
coming tired, and that some of them are
willing to go back TO work under the old
scale OF wages until August /, when ac-
cording to the agreement entered into by
the master plumbers and 1ourneymen,

The master plumbers also met yester-
day, and decided that they would meet
the strikers and discuss the question, but
refuse to consider the full advance asked.
They say the wages are better here now
than they are in San Francisco. and they
would have no difficulty in getting as
many men as they wanted.
The master plumbers deprecate the
strike, as Il leaves them with unfinished
contracts on their hands and hiniers
building operations.
