STATEMENTS MISLEADING.
The members Of the plumbers union
particularly the officers are somewhat
wroth over several OF the statements
made i'm one OF the afternoon publica-
tions OF the city relative to the coming
convention OF the New England plumbers
The statement was made that the bust
ness agent was either Withholding the
news OF the affair or else the matter had
been dropped both of which are wrong
and misleading. The business agent
though n member Of the committee has
had so many other matters to attend TO
that he has had but little time 10 attend
the meetings OF the committee and hence
knows but little concerning the progress
being made except when tho chairman
OF the committee makes a report at the
regular meetings
The chairman of.the committee report
cd last week at the meeting OF the plum
bers' union that nearly all the cities to
which tho calls had been sent had made
response and the majority OF the replies
indicated this city as tho most favored
for the convention.

has gone forward with the plans for the

will be made ~ the meeting OF the
