PLUMBERS CONFIDENT
OF ENDING STRIKE
Local Journeymen Say Bosses
Must Give In.
Only Way to Keep Up With Work, They
Say-ThiTty eight Shops Have
Already Yielded

There is more jubfIation amang the
ranks of the local journeymen plumbers
today than at any time since their strike
began. They are confident of success. aad
that in the very near future.
A large number of the men congregated
at their headquarters in the Corcoran
Building this morning and talked over
the situation in all its phases. The gen
eral opinion was that the master plumbers
would soon be obliged TO acqufesee IN
their demands, as over half the shops
have already done so.
4 representative Of the strikers, in dis
cussing the situation today, said:
We VIII soon be on Easy Street again.
We have the master plumbers in a corner
now, and they will have to comply with
our demands within a very few days. prob
ably this week Thtrty-eight of the shops
have already taken back our men on orr
conditions, and the others have received
no help from outside the city. They have.
in most eases. been making out with their
work by DOMINIC overaIls and getting at
it themselves. The only help they have
had was a few boys. apprentices at thc
trade
I'VE are keeping a committee Of three
men at each of the depots every hour
in the night and day for the purpose of
ascertaining if any men come into the
city to work for the master plumbers. As
yet none have arrived
The employers must have men in &
very few days. and their only show for
getting them lies in their acceding to our
demands The men already consider the
fight won

HOW INSURANCE RULING
AFFECTS COMPANIES
Superintendent Drake Re-
Ceivlng Good Proof.
Interests of Policybolders Conserved.
Operation of Emergency Clause-A
Foreign Application Withdrawn.

Mr.. Thomas z Drake, Superintendent
Of Insurance. announced today that the
department was already receiving proofs
Of the ad-sutage to be derived from the
recent ruling relative to The valuation
OF preliminary term insurance policies
Mr.. Drake decided, upon the advice OF
the City Solicitor, that life insurance pol
icies hereafter should carry with them all
the reserve features from the date Of
their issue.
Mr. Drake stated today that one com
pany which has been in business in the
District for several years, md which had
taken the preliminary steus to qualify
under the law. when it became advised of
the ruling. announced that it would not
be able 10 do so. Mr. Drake said that
there were several other companies in the
same position, and they would not be
able to comply with the requirements
without changing the form of business
done.
As this ruling was taken solely in the
interests Of the holders of policies, Civ
ing them upon the payment of the first
premium ell the advantages which they
have hitherto held after the payment Of
the second or third premium, Mr.. Drake
is OF the opinion that the wisdom Of the
ruling IS being shown.
It was also announced today that It
had been determined by the department
that all fTateTnaI life insurance com
panies and societies would be required
under their Licenses TO embody what is
known as the ''emergehcy clause" in their
certificates ana policies This means that
the members of these societies are noti-
fed at the start that in case the month
" assessment does not suffice to pay all
claims in any given year the society
has authority to make extra assess
meuts.
Mr. Drake also stated that he had re-
Ceived a notification from the Frankfort
Marine, Accident and Plate Glass Insur-
ance Company. Of Frankfort-on-the- Main,
that &c would withdraw its application
for license to do business in the District
Of C0luE>Sia. Owing 10 the peculiar re-
quiTements of the code relative 10 the
filing Of charter, constitution, etc, it was
unable TO quality
