THE PLUMBERS STRIKE.
Last Nights Conference Left the Sit
uatiOn Unchanged.

The committees appointed by the Master
Plumbers Association and the Plumbers
Union for conference, met at o'clock
yesterday afternoon to consider the differ
ences that have brought on the present
strike, and to effect a settlement If posi-
BILE. The journeymen presented these de-
mands: That all first-class plumbers shall
receive 81 a week; that second-class
plumbers shall receive $3.50 a week: that
no plumber shall be paid for less than half
day. With the exception of full day for
Saturday. this is practically the same prop
osition the association accepted a week
ago, and which it charges the union with
retreating from after an agreement had
been made. The Saturday proposition is
that the men receive pay for eight hours
work and only work seven. The master
plumbers refused to grant this proposition.
on the grounds that they had made con-
cessions in the halliday matter.
The master plumbers requested that the
union empower its committee to classify
the men in the two classes proposed. and
to agree on shop rules governing the work.
The proposition was satisfactory to the
joint committee, and the journeymens
which was in session awaiting the result
of the conference. for ratification or re-
lection. The master plumbers committee
waited until o'clock, when ii was notified
that the proposition had been rejected by
the union. The conference then adjourned
without accomplishing anything and no
date was set for another meeting. This
leaves the situation unchanged and no
more prospects of a settlement than when
the men went out Monday.
The members of the Master Plumbers
Association have notified their men that
there will be no more work until a settle
ment is made. The journeymen assert this
was done because the union was dealing
individually with the master plumbers, the
demands differing in each case, so that
the employers were at loss TO know just
where they stood.
The master plumbers say the failure of
the agreement will not seriously affect
business. as few of them have pressing
contracts to finish. There are many practi-
cal plumbers in the Master Plumbers As
ISOLATION and IL is proposed that these
the members who have work that is urg-
emit One of the master plumbers said:
1T is not the AZ cents we look at, but it
is this constant demand for higher wages
and shorter hours Should we give In TO
this demand, the next will be for seven
hour day. six days in the week. We are
often condemned by the public for our
charges. when in a large measure. we are
under the control of our employees and
subject TO their demands"

child stood and looked and looked Al a a.
lent, curious way. Perhaps they were
giving the sacred symbols a chance 70 lift
them up from the recollection of their
lonely lives. And then. after a time.
Hulda began to sing a song about the
Christ. 1t was in her own language, but
1t was none the less impressive to Azure
because of that. 1t was beautiful song.
and 1t coaxed the colored walters out o.
the kitchen-there were two OF them
and they came and peeked in the door
and smiled and chuckled. and when HUI
da was through they began to sing in
big, rich voices "Hear Dem Bells
a-Ringin" and a number of other songs.
all with unexpected harmonies and mild
minor turns of the voice.
Hulda had some gifts on the tree, too,
and she found some for the walters, and
she and the colored boys made much of
Aure, and one of them talked to him
about the day, so that it seemed diff
ferent to him from what it had when he
heard the learned men quarreling about
Ii in the drawing room. Azure wondered
IL the professors would consider the wa t.
ers wise.
In the midst Of all this call came for
Azure from the drawing room-an imper-
ative call. The boy looked up, appre-
hensive of something more than ordinary
rebuke. He could hear steps coming in
the direction of the room, and a moment
| more his father was upon them and stood
gazing at the frightened Hulda beside
her shining tree and at the big, black
walters peering in at the door and at
Azure. bright eyed, with his hands full of
sweets and little silly toys.
What would happen now? he wonder
| ed.
What happened was decidedly the un-
expected.
"Come here. DR.. PattersonI 1 say,
Gould, come here! Bring the rest with
you."
They all came trooping out of the draw
ing room-Aure's mother and the guests
and the sister with the spectacles, and
| they looked and laughed.
That's how the symbols defeat US"
quoth Professor Hieronomus.
| That's how human joy discounts us. -
said young Professor Babcock softly, and
he kissed Azure.
| But that wasn't half so odd as the fact
that Aure's sister went up to Hulda and
| kissed her. That was the oldest thing
| that ever did happen. IT seemed ]
shame to the cOlored boys not to sing,
considering the circumstances, so they
began all over again and sang their
Christmas songs. They had never heard
of any of the things the learned men had
been talking about, 50 there was no rea
son why they should not sing.-Chicago

he went into the parlor. intending TO
drop a remark about the present he

his mofher and sister, and they turned
when Azure entered and looked at him as
if he were curious kind of bug not yet

entered, though she was quite alone.

The cinnamon certainly made deli
cious smell, and Hulda's eyes were Won
derfulIy blue. These or facts of some 9TH
er nature made Aure's heart dance light
ly in his serious little bosom.
"Where?" cried he, with much more
vociferation than was consistent with the
laws of perfect harmony as understood
by Mrs. Mary Tinkerton Hieronomus.
