THE MASTER PLUMBERS
ONE MORE DAY GRANTED JOURNEY
MEN TO SURRENDER.
The FIRST Statement Made by Them to
the PubIic-The PIasterers-
Hardwood Floor La. ers.

The Master Plumbers Association has
held a meeting and decided to issue state
ment to the public regarding the plumbers
strike. c. Aneshaensel, Of the firm of
Aneshaensel & Co., last night prepared the
following statement for the association:
"A canvass among the master plumbers
to-day discloses the fact that all the union
journeymen plumbers are out with the ex-
ception Of those employed by Joseph F..
Haslinger. who has one man at work as
sisted by a helper. Some OF the shops have
considerable work on hand and under way,
and others have plenty OF contracts ahead
which are not ready for work for sixty to
ninety days. The public as a rule is max
ing the best OF the situation and extending
its sympathy to the masters, who are look
ing after the most urgent jobs with such
nOnunion help and apprentices as they may
have.
'All Of the best workmen deplore the
present trouble and are opposed to the
edict issued by the union and declare posi-
lively that they cannot get along without
helpers except on small repair work. The
masters. on the other hand. say the public
will not stand for a rate of $50 an hour
for two plumbers doing a piece of work
at 70 cents an hour. Another phase pre-
senting itself TO the minded is what
is 10 become Of fifty or sixty helpers and
apprentices. some OF whom have worked
three years and more, almost serving out
their time? They are unwilling to lose all
they have worked 80 hard for and claim
10 have as much right 10 learn their chosen
trade the striking union plumbers had.
In view Of the fact that a great many
of the journeymen plumbers VINO nave
been regularly employed in the same shop
for twelve to fifteen years intimate and
express their determination TO go 10 work
under the old conditions IL the union does
not reconsider. the masters are disposed
to grant them another day for considera-
ton before taking action tomorrow by
sending out of the city for new men and
giving those positions who have applied
for work Ii is learned that there are
plenty of plumbers 10 be had in several
of the large cities near by where the build
ing season is not overly brisk.

GAMBLER IS FINED
MINIMUM FINE IMPOSED IN THE
TowNER TEST CASE.
NOT TO BE HELD A Precedent
The Defendant Must Pay $1OO-Judge
McClernan Understands That the
Law Is to Be TestedCash
Bond Furnished.

Another step in the Towner gambling
test case was taken in the district court,
in Judge McClernan's department., this
morning. The case was called at ~
o'clock, and the court than imposed the
minimum fine of 800 on the defendant.
at the same time explaining the light
ness of the sentence.
AS will be remembered, Towner was
yesterday convicted in a jury trial in
Judge McClernan's court of the offenss
of dsobeying the statute prohibiting
gambling he having made no defense in
the trial, the intention of his counsel
being to test the constitutionality OF the
law in the supreme court.
The court preached the matter by say
ing that that was the time set for the
sentencing of the defendant I. .. Tow
ner, and then reviewed the proceedings
to that point. AT the calling of his
name Towner stood up. The court di-
rected him to take a seat, and asked him
formally if he had any legal reason why
sentence should not be passed upon him,
to which he replied in the negative.
Then Judge McClernan said that he
was disposed to impose the minimum
punishment in the case because he
thought that the defendant and his law
yers were acting in good faith in their
purported intention to test the validity
of the gambling law.
but don't want it to be thought, at
ALL that this is a precedent, by every
body who wants to set up gambling
game in this city," the court said.
This court will enforce this gambling
law so long as it is upon the statutes"
he added
The court then imposed fine of 500
on Towner. and directed that he should
be taken to Jail and imprisoned there
till the fine was paid or served out.
Towner was committed to the Gus
tody of the sheriff, and one Of his attor-
neys, c. NJ. Parr, arranged with County
Attorney Breen that cash bond of $500
should be furnished by the defendant to
indemnify the sheriff and to secure the
liberty Of the defendant. That ended the
proceeding.
