Plans Of Boss Plumbers.
The master plumbers issued circular
letter last week, stating that they had
notified their attorney to institute in
junction proceedings against any man or
body OF men Interfering with the con-
duct OF their business, or coercing nom
union men into quitting their employ.
The law is very strict on the point of
conspiracy" says the letter, land we pro-
pose TO take the full advantage of it,
The Master Plumbers Association still
presents a solid front in the stand it has
taken.
The journeyman carriage and wagon
makers are not disposed at present TO
meet their employers in conference, as
they say that as they have been idle for
nearly month, they do not intend to
give in single iota, and therefore a con-
ference would be of little good to either
side.
The carriage makers have all been re-
ceiving letters within the past two or
three weeks. offering them positions in
other cities, and 1t is not improbable that
IL the strike is not very shortly over
there will be no one to maintain it. AL
ready three jolrneymen have accepted
positions and have left for other cities.

Ten Per Cent Salary Cut.
District employees regard the alterna-
tive of having their salaries cut 10 per
cent, if the personal tax bill does not
become law, with something like con-
committee of the House has attempted to
introduce such provision into the Dis
trict appropriations bill The recon-
mendation of the committee carried out
TO its conclusion would cut the salaries of
the Commissioners down $500 4 year. and
would reduce the remuneration of the
per diem ernploye at 81 a day to 30 cents.
One of the heads of departments said on
Saturday that this clause in the report
of the committee would make every en-
ploye of the District rCoter for the pas
sage Of the personal tax law from now on.
Some CT the wiser heads took some COM
fort to themselves in the fact that the
report of the committee does not neces-
sarily mean that everything recommend
ed will pass the House, and afterward be
accepted by the Senate. They cited the
experience Of former years when the ap-
preparation bill has been essentially mod
ifod in the Senate. and a coed many Of
the crudities advanced by the House com
mittee have been eliminated. They expect
TO see something Of the kind this year.
II is thought that before the bill reaches
the Senate for final action, the personal
tax law will be passed, the assessment
completed and possibly law passed au-
thorizing advances from the United States
Treasury for the payment of extraordi-
nary improvements. In that case ii is
believed that the appropriation bill will
in the end carry n larger aggregate sum
than that recommended by the House
