END OF PLASTERERS'
STRIKE NOT IN SIGHT
Masters and Journeymen Both Firm in
Their Respective Attitudes.

There seems to be no prospect OF an
agreement within the near future be-
tween the master plasters and the strik-
ing journeymen. Each side is waiting for
the other to make the next move The
journeymen expected the masters would
open negotiations with them yesterday.
but the bosses took no action whatsoever
toward the settlement Of the strike.
After the strikers committee, which
held a conference with several repre-
sentatives OF the bosses association,
several days ago. failed to come to an
agreement with them, the strikers dis
solved it. and excused the conference
committee from further duty. Since then
nothing has been done.
The plasterer journeymen are to hold
their next regular meeting Monday even
ing. and will talk the matter over then.
There are about $50 plasterers in Wash
ington. but because Of the fact that sew.
eral OF the firms which employ the ma,
jority OF them. have granted the Increase
in wages from 81 to $3.50. only a few
men are out OF work
IL Is said the masters are willing to
arbitrate the difficulties for the pres
ent. and pay the new scale Of wages az
ter November l. The strikers will not
listen 10 that. They say the masters
must sign the agreement Immediately
or they will not return. Plastering work
in the District has not been crippled to
any appreciable extent because OF the
strike. which is now about FIVE days old.
