Arbitration Board to Settle Labor
Troubles Fails to Agree.
MEMBERS ARE YET HOPEFUL.
sire to Settle All Questions BE-
tween Them and LabOrers-The
Question of Treatment of Nom
union Men Causes TrOuble-Wn
Hold Another Session Today.

For three hours yesterday the board of
arbitration appointed by the Builders Ex-
change, an association of city contra ctors,
and the Building Trades Council, an or
ganization OF mechanics and laborers en-
ployed in the building trades, tried TO set
tie by the peaceful means of arbitra-
ton the disputes that exist between the
laborers and the contractors. The point
at issue is a question of wages, the Nor
tar Makers Union and the Building La
borers Union demanding for Their MEM
bers an increase of so cents to the daily
wage schedule. The board will meet
again today to try and harmonic the
troubles which at this time threaten to
result in very serious disturbances in the
building world.
Unless the matters at issue between the
two sides are settled there is a prospect
OF general strike among the men EN-
ployed in the building line in this city.
The Building Trades Council consists of a
body of workmen embracing every trade
employed in the building line. In partic-

to the necessity for the cooperation of
the consumers, and the expression was
made that there would be enough for nee
essary needs through the approaching dry
season.
Part of the report of the committee
reads as follows:
1T was seen from Mr.. Youngs statement
with the department has increased from
1856 in 1898 to 1875 the LIST of the current
month. Assuming, as he does, that ten
persons are the average number supplied
by each service, the city has at present
1920 customers. At 100 gallons per day
per capita, upon this basis there would be
a daily consumption of $4,000 gallons
The Lake Washington pumping plant has
a capacity Of 100000 gallons a day of
there is a spring which furnishes $1,000
gallons d day by gravity service.
Your committee Is OF the opinion that
Mr.. Youngs statement of the quantity of
water the department under his control
can supply, and his estimate of the de-
mand 1t will be called upon to meet are
well based, and that he Is fully justified
in his conclusion that the capacity of the
plant at the present time is equal to the
requirements of the present population of
the city, based upon a fair estimate of
consumption. and barring any serious ac-
Cidents. believing that the department is
equal to the emergency.
I'm order that there may be at all times
an adequate supply of water for all pur-
poses we urge upon consumers the neces-
sity for cooperating with the city au-
II care is taken in this matter there is
but little danger that our citizens will suf-
fer inconvenience by reason of a limited
water supply"
