STEAM FILTERS STRIKE.
The Effort to Find Basis on which
Settlement Can BE Reached.

The Richard A. Lanis Association of
Steam Filters. No. 10, and Helpers Assoc
citation, No. 28 who have been on strike for
about two weeks for an advance of wages,
had meeting today at their headquarters,
No. 425 18th street northwest. The propo-
sitions submitted by the employers through
Mr.. Thomas Eagan. secretary of the Master
Filters Association, We're discussed The
conditions. which were printed in The Star
OF yesterday. proposed a compromise rate
OF wages of s3.25 day for the filters and
slio for helpers. There were some minor
differences in the terms submitted by the
employers from those proposed by the Jour
neymen.
1t was said that the most objectionable
proposition is that both unions shall with
out question, admit to membership such Of
the ntters and helpers as the employers
may designate who are at present employed
by the various members of the Master
Steam and Hot Water Filters Association
without any expense Of any nature to them
or the master filters. and that they shall be
admitted on the employers statement as to
their qualifications. Objection was also
made to that clause in the proposed plan Of
settlement which states that IL an agree
ment Is made whereby the men at present
out OF work are to return to work the
agreement is not to go into effect until the
men referred to are admitted into the
unions, and that in the meantime the en-
ployers are to employ such men as they see
ht. subject to the same conditions
Both propositions were unanimously ra-
1ected by the men, and the matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee who will
endeavor to confer with the employers and
attempt TO adjust the trouble in a way that
will be satisfactory to all concerned
The announcement was made that at tina
last meeting OF the Carriage and Wagon
Builders Union. No. 1, a resolution was
adopted indorsing the action of the strikers

was referred to the attorney for the Dis

that the doctors attention be invited to the
laws in force here regulating the incorpo-
ration and conduct of medical and dental
colleges. DIR. McElhaney's attention was so
invited by the Commissioners, and he wrote
them again for further information upon
the subject. Today Mr.. Duvall advised the
