MASTER PLUMBERS REPLY
The Issue, They Say Has Ceased to Be
Question of Wages.

At a meeting of the Master Plumbers
association. held last night. resolution
was unanimously adopted to the effect
that the statement given out by the Jour
neymen plumbers and published IN the
Evening Leader of June Goth, relating TO
an lnsinuaton cast upon the president
and two of the members of our Conference
Committee. be denounced as false, as the
business of our association is conducted
by its officers and members through its
committees. The present issue between
the union and the association has ceased
to be Il question of wages. The union
sent n communication to the Master
Plumbers Association giving twenty days,
notice of Il demand for an incr/se OF
wages. The association referred the mat
ter 10 its standing Conference Committee.
with instructions that they meet a SINH
lar committee from the union and adjust
the matter. Our committee met their
committee and they positively refused to
treat with our committee. giving as their
reason that they would not meet our COM
mittee as long as Mr.. James II. Chappell
was retained on said committee. owing to
the fact that he employed non-unlon
plumb erS. The matter was reported back
to the Master Plumbers ASsocia ton and
Mr. ChaDpell asked to be relieved from
service on the committee to preserve har
Tnony but the association by unani-
nous vote declined to allow Mr.. Chappell
to retire from the committee. Mr.. Chap
pell stated TO the association that he was
perfectly willing to employ union plumbers
and has not the slightest objection to
his men joining the union

lRr Associated Press.)

LONDON. July king Edward has
passed another good day. The quiet ana
routine of the sick room was varied to-
day by the excitement of listening to the
music and cheers of the Indian troops
as they marched past the palace ana
greeted Queen Alexandra on the balcony.
King Edward demanded a full report OF
the review, and the report of the Prince
of Wales was added to by the Queens
narrative The King issued orders to
thank all the troops for their expressions
of fealty which he had heard in his sick
room.
King Edward was somewhat disap-
pointed that he was not able to see
the march past of the troops. He had
hoped that this might have been posi-
BILE from an invalid couch at a window
of the palace but the doctors were I'M
willing that he should risk this expos

TO content himself with hearing the
troops without seeing them.

Buckingham Palace at 40 p. NJ:
The King maintains his steady i'm

day has passed with great comfort.

STIRRING REPORTS
IN POLICE CIRCLES
Substitute Policemen and the
Entire Reorganization Of
the Force,

There will be surprises IN police circles
! before long that will make the recent
| transfer of the captains seem small in
/ comparison. It is reported, and the re-
/ port has the earmarks of coming from
| authoritative sources, that at an early
| meeting Of the Police Board one of the
members will offer a resolution providing
| for some twenty substitute policemen, TO
| serve when the regular men are sick or
| off duty, and to receive $50 a day for
their services with the prospect of a
| place on the force when a vacancy oc7
ours, if they prove capable men. Under
| TINS scheme the regular men, who get
| $3.50 a day now would get 81 while not
on duty, and the substitutes $3.50.
| 1t is believed by those favorinE this
scheme, which is in operation in Norfolk.
| Washington and many cities, that it
would reduce the absence on accoun,
| of sickness, and prepare the men by a
period of probation for regular service.
When this scheme is proposed there
will be great argument and discussion in
police circles.
Another member of the Board will in
trodUce motion to reorganize the whole
force, from the captains down. at the
lasr meeting the question of bringing
back the sergeant now on duty at the
Police Court to regular duty was dis
cussed. This will be taken up again.
There will be another move to put the
sanitary officers back on the regular
force.
These in close touch with the Police
Board say it's up to the captains now.
Fading of negro crap joints, they say,
won't do. The board is not much stirred
up over breaking them UP. The real
gambling places, where temptation is Of
fcred to young men and mere boys, the
toard wants to see broken up. and that
without delay. Unless the force and Its
officials can see their way clear to move
vigorously in this matter and in this
direction without longer delay. it is be-
licved that something may happen IN
police circles sure enough. So say these
in position to know. and it is believed
that the two new commissioners will take
this view of the situation.
