STRIKE SOON TO END.
Master Plumbers Will Ac-
cede to the Demands of
Their Employees.

Indications this morning point to a
speedy settlement of the strike of the
Jersey City journeymen plumbers and
lathers affiliated with the United Building
Trades Council of Hudson County AS
told in last nights News the union
plumbers of Jersey City, whose employers
refused to accede to the demand for an
increase in the wage schedule from 50
to $500 day, quit work yesterday morn
ing. At the same time the Bayonne
plumbers, members of Local Union No.
lS1, to enforce their demand for an in
crease from s2.75 to 50 day, also went
out. The strike of the latter was of short
duration, however, for by noon all the
employing plumbers in that city had
agreed to the new schedule and the men
returned to work.
The strike of the Jersey City fathers
was also speedily settled by their em-
ployers granting the new wage and hour

Master Plumber Stonier of West Side
avenue is the latest to accede to the de-
mand of the Jersey City journeymen and
his men have returned to work. Nearly
all the largest shops have given in and
there is every prospect that the smaller
ones will not hold out much longer.
To prevent the possibility of any em
ployer who has already verbally agreed
to the new wage schedule refusing to live
UP to his agreement after his contracts
made prior to March are completed the
Board of Directors of Plumbers Local

contraetors:-

STRIKE THREATENED.
Three Thousand Iron Workers
Make Demand on En-
ployees.

Three thousand ironworkers threaten 10
strike in Hoboken next week unless for
NAL demands made on the different shops
for shorter hours and new wage schedules
are granted The exact grievances of the
workmen cannot be learned as the leaders
refuse to discuss them claiming that the
time is not yet ripe for enlisting the pub
lie sympathy which they feel assured will
be accorded them when matters are ex-
planned. A committee representing the
workmen met last night. The result of
the deliberations is being kept secret but
it is rumored that arrangements for the
big strike were perfected and that every
thing is now in readiness for the serving
of the demands on the shops next week.
The going out of the men will follow inn
mediately upon the refusal of the different
them
The iron workers employed at Tietjen
& Lang's dry docks and at the big Fletch-
er works will be among the strikers, it is
said. The workmen of the latter firm
struck a year ago and remained out for
over month A compromise was finally
effected which failed to meet with the ap-
proval of a large number of the strikers
1t is said that the proposed strike of next
week is the outgrowth of that dissatls
faction and of grievances entertained by
Tietjen & Lang's employees for some time
past.
The workmer, in compliance with the
wish of their leaders, are reticent
we have been instructed to answer all
questions with the statement that the or
ganization effected is perfect, and that if
a strike is decided it is bound to be sue
cessful," one of them said last evening.
I'VE, of course, hope that our demands
will be granted and that there will be no
necessity for going out Further we are
advised to have nothing to say

BUFFALO. MODEL CITY.
ITS Water System n Wonder to Experts
From Other Towns.

From Diner Towns.
To persons interested in municipal
government one of the sights OF the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo is
the city of Buffalo itself, which has
the reputation among municipal ex-
merits Of being one of the best gov
ened cities in the world. 1t has 4,000,-
900 square yards of asphalt pavement,
almost as much as New York itself,
it's system of parks and boulevards is
scarcely surpassed in the world and its
other public utilities are not ~equalled
in a town of it's size. Most OF all,
however. Buffalo's water system is
agreed by experts to be a wonder. It's
plant is valued at $4,000, 900; the
water supply, coming from an intake
in the middle of the Niagara River
within q mile of Lake Erie, is mex
haustible, and In the center Of the city
Is kept a vast distributing reservoir,
which alone has a capacity Of 49,
900 900 gallons. Water comes to Buff
falo from the river through two great
tunnels, both hewn out OF the solid
rock. The pumping station which
controls the supply is the largest In
the world. 1t has $3.50 horse power,
driving through the mains daily 1s7,-
OOO. 900 gallons, which Is almost equal
10 the flow Of the River Thames. Buff
falo owns and operates Its water
plant. Although the population OF
Boston is twice that OF Buffalo, twice
as much water is consumed In Buff
falo. as in Boston, and the cost and
revenue of the Boston water plant are
four times those OF Buffalo.-New

WATER PURIFIED BY OZONE,
Moscow's Successful Plan for Excepting
Down Infectious Disease Gerna.

Moscow's Successful Plan for Keeping
Down Infectious Disease Germs.
A new method of sterilizing a city's
water supply is being successfully op-
Grated in Russia and it was described
at the annual meeting of the American
Association of Waterworks Engineers
recently held in New York, in a paper
forwarded by Nicholas Simin, chief en-
gineer Of the city Of Moscow where
the system has been adopted and &C.
cording to NJ. Simin is universally
commended. The plan is to sterilize
the water by the introduction of ozon-
lied air and 1t Is contended on it's be-
half that it destroys all the bacteria
lively small cost absolutely safe for
drinking purposes. So far, the system
has not been adopted outside Russia,
but NJ. Simin contends that in this
country conditions are more favorable
than anywhere else for it's adoption,
and he advocates its Introduction here
as tending to solve all problems in re-
gard to contaminated water supplies.
The system is based upon the prin"
Iiples that ozone burns all organic
matter with which it comes into con-
tact in water, including bacteria and
their vital products, that with water
which has been freed previously Of
suspended matter the destruction Of
the bacteria is equally efficient no mat
ter how great may be the number, and
that the pathogenic bacteria are
among the first to be destroyed. The
publication Of the water in this way
is simply a development of and an i'm
provement upon the ordinary aeration
of water by e of atmospheric air.
The air, before coming in contact with
the water, is subjected to a series of
oxygen from diatomic oxygen to tria-
tonic oxygen which is ozone and is
remarkable for its power of oXidizing
organic matter including the bacteria
Ill water. The cost is put at $6.25 for
each million gallons, or in large plants
even less. Extensive experiments in
the system have been made in France.
Germany. Holland and Belgium. The
necessary removal of suspended mat
ter is accomplished by using a small
quantity Of coagulant for mere clarifi-
cation, NJ. Simin says. Oxonization
oxidizes not only the bacteria, but all
organic matter. The water is rendered
colorless, sparkling and ordorless. 1t
has an agreeable and refreshing taste
and there is introduced into it 10 for
elgn matter except oxygen. which, Of
course, is benefcial.-New York Sun.
