THE LOCAL STRIKES,
Plumbers Widely Separated - Confer
ence of the Carriage Makers

The efforts of those interested in the ad-
justment of the plumbers and carriage
makers strikes are meeting with but little
success. Within the past two or three DAYS
it is said. one member Of the Master Plumb
ers Association had a conference with
one of the striking journeymen. and sug
gested that the strikers ask the master
plumbers to grant a conference. This the
strikers did, it is said, but at special
meeting of the Master Plumbers Associa-
ton last evening, 1t was decided not to
grant a hearing. This action, 1t is said,
was taken for the reason that the member
who talked with the striking journeyman
about conference was not authorized to
take such steps
The strikers are apparently very angry
over the manner in which this, their Sec
ond. request was received at the hands of
their employers. The first conference be-
tween the Master Plumbers Association
and the striking journeymen was held
about week or ten days after the present
strike was instituted, and was without re-
suits. The strikers say the latest over
lures for peace on their part were made at
the inStigation of the employers them
selves. They declare that under no condi-
lions will the Journeymen be inveigled into
making requests looking to a settlement
of the troubles, declaring that they have
ample funds with which to carry on the
strike.
| 1t was stated this afternoon by Mr.. Thos.
| E. Trazzare president of the Carriage Man
ufacturers' Association, that conference
| at which President Gompers of the Ameri-
| can Federation of Labor; President William
| Landgraft of the strikers, and Acting Secre-
| tary John Brinkman, also of the strikers
| and himself were present. was held late
yesterday afternoon at Typogfap hical Tenn
| pie. Nothing of any Importance was done
| but 1t was agreed that President Gompers
| should hold conference with the commit
| tee having the carriage makers strike In
| hand, about O'Clock this evening. and
that at o'clock President Gompers should
| meet the Carriage Manufacturers Associa-
| ton in conference and submit to the asso-
| citation the propositions of the strikers.
| Mr.. Trazzare stated to a Star reporter
| this afternoon that President Gompers said
| he thought the strike had been on long
| enough; that he wanted 1t settled, and that
| he would do everything in his power to
bring the trouble to close. Mr.. Gompers
! is also accredited with having suggested
| that each side to the controversy should
| make some concessions.
