TRAFFIC STOPPED
 ON WARSAW ROAD
NOT A SINGLE TRAIN IS LEAVING THE GREAT CITY TERMINUS BECAUSE OF THE STRIKE SIT UATION.

Warsaw. February 22.-Traffic on the Vienna railroad has been suspended since early this afternoon, the entire force of employees. including telegraphers having joined in the strike. Not a singe train is leaving Warsaws great terminus. which Is guarded by a strong force of gehdarmes keeping back the crowds clam bring for opportunities to leave the city. Two regiments of infantry are guarding the interior of the station, the yards and buildings. Chiefs of the engineering de- partment acting as firemen and engineers attempted to run trains into Warsaw from outside points. but none succeeded in reaching the city having been held up somewhere along the line. The tele- graph and telephone services also have been stopped.
 The strike originally was planned to begin on March 1, but the men learned of the intention of the authorities to pro- claim the entire line under martial law and determined to strike today.
 It Is feared the employees of the Wis tula lines between Warsaw and the Aus trian and the German frontiers will also go out.
 The police yesterday evening arrested a prominent Polish publicst and poet. Andrea Nimojewsi.

IRISH RETURN TO
 ATTACK WITH VIGOR
REDMOND CATCHES THE GOV. EMINENT OFF ITS GUARD BY OFFERING SUDDEN MOTION TO ADJOURN THE SESSION.

London, February 22.-Encouraged by tho reduced majority in the division in the house committee, the Irish party un- expectedly returned to the attack today more fie.cely than ever.
 Immediately after the opening of the days session, John Redmond gave notice of a motion to adjourn in order To dls- cuss the conditions under which Sir An tony Mcdonnell holds the post Of under secretary to the lord lieutenant of Ire land. This move came as a surprise and caught the government off it's guard. The sJ eaker set debs te in the motion in the night session.
 Notice was served that MT. Nortons amendment calling the attention of his majesty to the nuisance and misman- agement by the ministers" which came uJ this afternoon would occupy two days number of unionist members taking ad- vantage of this absented themselves. MT Redmond's tactics caused much upsetting of arrangements.
 The debate lasted till midnight when a motion to adjourn was defeated by a vote of 265 to 22S: but Mr Redmond scored a point by compelling MT. Wyndham (chef secretary for Ireland) to read the correspondence between himself and Sir Antony Mcdonnell and it was shown that the Hnder secretary was given powers and authorized to arrange for CO., ordination in the central committee. and discretion in the boards and administra- tive agencies. It was also shown that Premier Balfour had .concurred in this arrangement.

essential. You may as an illustration take two seperate buildings and have the spe- cihcations as to the plumbing exactly alike. yet it is possible to make one of the houses perfectly safe from sani- tary view, while the other can be verit- able death trap Still to the layman, both jobs would appear identical and only would the practical eye of a competent inspector bring forth the various faults so dangerous to health.
 ''The plubing in our dwellings should not be left to the insupervised work of any plumber. The inspector should be thoroughly practical and reliable man with the power to revoke the license of any plumber for persistent violations of the laws governing the work. He should be the creature of no political clique, and of known character and ability. AS it Is now, a great majority of the work in this line is let out to the lowest bid der, like a job of white washing and in many cases tke job is hopelessly skin ned through incompetence or worse. The writer can conduct any one sufficiently interested to make the trip to many homes and buildings owned by people of wealth and refinement where the plumb ing and domestic sanitary arrangements are simply appalling and it is only when some malignant fever or disease carries off some of the inmates, do they become aware of the fact that the plumbing Is defective How very necessary it is to the health of the women and children who are so much indoors, Is the ques- ton of the safe and proper disposal of the sewerage from our homes is hardly to be exaggerated. Should we measure it up along side of the plumbing in- ,spector's salary? Hardly. If some of those opposing this law would post themselves and read over the ordinance carefully, I venture to say they would soon recog- nize the wisdom as we'll as the great need of the measure being made into a law. as soon possible. One of the car dinal principles of the Internationa. As- sociation of Journeymen Plumbers is to elevate the science of domestic sanita- ton to it's rightful position.

THE PLUMBERS, SIDE.
Proposed Ordinance Discussed By Lo-
 cal Union No. 91.

The plumbers local union No. 9l has offered the following statement regarding
 the proposed plumbing ordinance. now pending in the city council. It was hand ed to The Age-Herald by committee of the union with the request that it be Ilished
 We notice in a recenr issue of your valuable journal a communication from well-known citizen in opposition to the proposed ordinance regulating the prac-
 tiee of plumbing. We were both amused
 and amazed at the startling array of inaccuracies, inconsistencies and mistakes contained therein.
 Now the journeyman plumber is as you are perhaps aware, quite impartial in the matter and have no selfish mo- tive in favoring the ordinance in question other than the natural love of his calling by the true mechanic the pride he takes in doing his work well. Therefore we dislike to continue under the present ordi-
 nance, which places the practical and skilled plumber on level with the quack, the handy jack, and even the so- called negro plumber. little learning is a dangerous thing, and was indeed never more aptly applied than in relation to sanitary plumbing. It requires six years to make a first-class plumber, four d juni3r on instructions. hence how neces- safy it becames to require an examina- ton by a competent board in order to prevent the possibility of imperfect work being done by ignorant or incompetent, amateur or Kindergarten plumbers.
 .The journeyman plumber does the &C., tual work at so much per diem, and is the man behind the gum. so to speak, and all who are qualified are welcome to our ranks. Plumbing and house sani- tation properly installed is absolutely necessary for the health of the inmates. but the same thing improperly installed is A positive menace, dsnger to tho lives of the occupants, in fact is a crime in the light of recent improvements in sanitary science. The physicians mission is to cure disease. and he is very prop erlv honored for 1t. The skilled plumber prevents disease and is he honored? Rather not. Instead his we'll meant eff forts are often misconstrued and his sin cerity questioned.
