SOME PLUMBERS
TAKE a HOLIDAY
They Declare, However, That It Is
Not a Strike Reports in
Conflict.

The situation today as to the plumb
ers row with. the masters is much
mixed.
The iourneymen who have been
yet no strike, and that no radical ac-
ton will be taken until another confer
ence with the employers.
On the other hand, the master
plumbers. maintain that the situation
which exists today is, in effect, a strike.
In many of the big shops the men re-
ported for work and asked if they were
mands. When told that the terms
would be those agreed upon by the
bosses they said they would lay off for
the day and left. There was no trouble
or argument at any Of the shops so far
as known. A few men went to work on
unfinished jobs. Both sides appear to
be resting and ready. IT.. :. ~.
More Dickering. a-.-s
The action of the iourneymen is the
result Of union meeting held last
night in Union Temple. After long de-
bate in executive session the, journey
men decided to withhold action pend.
ing another attempt at adjustment OF
the difficulties between the union and
the master plumbers. After the meet:
ing it was announced that action would
not be taken today. It was also stated
that a standing conference committee
for the union had been appointed.
Neither the officers nor the, men
would discuss the meeting or the situa
ton. It is understood that the other
local unions are not interested in the
troubles of the plumbers and will not
assist in any way 1t is also said that
the plumbers will be willing to drol
some of their demands if the advance
in wages can be secured. They want
$3.50 as minimum, but the masters in
sist that So shall be the minimum
There is considerable work in sight fol
the summer and some plumbers who
have families do not care to lose time
on q walkout or strike.
| No date has been set for the confer
ence. The employers have stated tina
4 they would not parley further with tn!
committees sent out by the union. L
is understood, however, that the EN-
ployers will meet with the journeymen
i Here's Strike, Tho.
/ The plasterers and plasterers' tender
have not been able to reach an agree
l ment and the threatened strike began
j today. The tenders want an lncreas
/ of 40 cents day, but are not backe'
up in their demands by the plasterer
or other organizations of the, Building
mixed. The journeymen who have bee1
the tenders are we'll paid and have n
4 reason to demand a raise. =

Chicago, April l.-Walter Wellman in
a Washington special to the Record
Herald says in part:
President Roosevelt has sounded both
Russia and Japan as to the practical.
bility of institutipg actual peace nego-
tiations, and has met with such dis
couraging responses from both govern
ments that he has abandoned the ef-
ing more is to be done by him in that
direction before he starts on his west.

In the last fortyreight hours President
Roosevelt has held conferences with
Ambassador Cassini of Russia.
Minister Takahira of Japan, Am.
bassador Jusserand Of France, Am
bassador Sternburg of Germany, and
Ambassador Durand Of Great Britain.
The possibility OF peace negotiations
being started has been the subject Of
these conferences.
Hints Weys Unofficial.
No official communication has been
made to President, Roosevelt by either
the Russian or the Japanese govern
ment. But unofficial hints were given
him by persons speaking ostensibly for
both St. Petersburg and Toxic that an
effort on his part to ascertain what
could or could NOT be done in the way
of settlement would be welcomed
Acting upon these hints, the president
has made inquirieH All this has been
done unofficially and informally. But
it has clearedthe situation, and made il
plain that at this moment nothing what
ever can be done in the way of bring
ing the belligerents together.
Tho the statement has not been made
in so many words, certainly not in any
fashion that would bind the Russian
government, it is pretty clearly under
Stood in Washington that the car. il

which were outlined by Japan two
months ago. But8at this iuncture ia
pan is not willing to make peace OF
those terms.
Japanese Terms Harden,
Tho Japanese demands have hardened
and broadened. An indemnity is nov
demanded, tho no mention has beer
made of the sum which the Japanes,
government has in mind. An that i
known is that the sum is large one.
The Russian answer TO suggestion
of indemnity is: 4. :s. s.ss Sc. Il

Rather than pay an indemnity, tn

Preventive Is Suggested.

Chicago, April IA preventive of
cerebro spinal meningitis, "spotted
fever,' which is ravaging New York
and eastern cities, and from which at
least one death occurred in Chicago yes
terday, has been suggested by DR.. w.
j. Clash of the city health department.
An atomizer, little carbolic acid and
water is the safeguard. He says:
"The disease is contracted thru the
throat. While the most reliable pre-
ventive consists in staying away from
infected places, and in perfect cleanli.
ness, the disinfection of the air pas
sages should help to ward off the dis
| ease. .. ~.
"Use an atomizer and spray the
nasal passages and throat with water
containing l per. cent of carbolic acid.
The disease is not as contagious as scar
let fever. 1t begins with a severe
headache and vomiting. ] do not be.
lieve that the disease will become dan
gerous in Chicago

GOTHAM SCOURGE
KILLS HUNDREDS
Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis In
creases, Twenty one Dying
In One Day.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, April 1.-There were
twenty.one deaths yesterday in New
York city from cerebro meningitis, an
increase Of 25 per cent over Thursday.
These figures include the deaths in all
boroughs between noon Thursday and
noon Friday. This brings the total of
deaths since Saturday noon up to 1913.
The disease is therefore still on the in
crease. Health Commissioner Darling
ton says:
"No one can now say when the dis
ease will come to an end. 1t may not
be before May
There have been 6S1 deaths from
cerebro-spinal meningitis in New York
since Jan. l.
The meningitis commission has
reached the conclusion from close study
of the hospital records that the hospi-
tai death rate in the present epidemic
is about 40 per cent. The death rate
in private practice is calculated to be
somewhat higher, probably from SO to
60 per cent. On this basis there have
been approximately 1900 cases in
Greater New York since Jan. l, with
the prospect of 600 to 700 more cases by
| the middle of May.
