PLUMBERS UNIONS AT WAR.
One OF the Rival Factions In Diamond Phil
Weinseimer's OrEaniza ton.

Trouble has been started by the Associ-
ated Building Trades on behalf Of the unions
which are still locked out, and strike Of the
steamatters is looked for on buildings at
l5oth street and the Southern Boulevard.
The strike is to be on behalf Of Diamond
Phil Weinseimers old organization, Plumb
ers Union No 2, and against members Of the
National Association Of Plumbers, who are
now working on the buildings. Both the
steamfitters union and the local OF the Ma
tional Associa ton Of Plumbers are working
under the arbitration agreements while
Weinseimers old union is locked out. At
the Building Trades Club yesterday nothing
could be learned as to any measures to be
taken for preventing this strike. which
will be a fat violation Of the arbitration
agreement.
John Kilgus. business agent OF the Brother
hood Of Painters, which is under the arbitra-
tion agreement, said that the fight between
the two unions Of plumbers had been going
on for some time. Local No. ? had sue
oeeded in ordering ten or twelve strikes
against the national association.
The brotherhood Of Painters" he said,
has decided to stand by the National As
ISOLATION of Plumbers. We will &c rtainly
not support Weinseimer's organization,
which has not even a national union. This
trouble involves 5000 plumbers, 300 Of
whom are in the national association and
100 in Weinseimer's union. l am sur

MITCHELL STARTS CAMPAIGN
Moves Into the Anthracite Field TO StifYen
Miners BackbOnes.

SCRANTON. Pa, June john Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers.
came to the city this morning and spent
the greater part Of the day in his room
at the Hotel Schad in conference with Dis
trict Presidents Nichols, Dettrey and
Fahey.
Mr. Mitchell refused to discuss. either
the demands that the miners will make
at the close Of the present agreem eEt or
the feeling the miners have toward their
present working arrangement. Mr..
Mitchell came here to address series
of mass meetings in the interests Of the
United Nine Workers in the hope Of build
ing up the membership Of the organiza-
ton. This has been falling off since the
last strike despite the exertions Of the
big leaders to maintain it..
This subject was considered at the con-
ference here and great exertions will now
10 made to arouse the miners to realiza-
ton of the importance Of prese lting strong
and united front to the coal operators
next year Mr.. Mitchell will continue his
row and will address his first mass meet
ing on Saturday night
Mitchell left New York vithou. seeing
any Of the coal presidents. Before he left
be said.
My first business will be to organize
the men thoroughly. How long I will
spend in the anthracite districts cannot
say now and OF course ! cannot predict
a. present what will be done when the
present agreement expires.
The agreements in the bituminous coal
fields as we'll as in the anthracite districts
expire on April /. There are $4,000 mem
beers of the United Mine Workers in the soft
coal fields and $4,000 in the anthracite
d istricts.
The Goa! operators are not so much con-
oerned about the bituminous districts as
the anthracite districts snd some OF them
believe that demand for the eight hour
work day will be made on behalf OF the
anthracite mine workers. The miners who
do the blasting work only four or five hours
a day. but the demands will be made prin-
clpally on behalf OF their assistants, the
drivers. sorters slate pickers and num-
Der Of other trades which attend the coal
hreakers.

THE BOVEN.LOOMIS CASE.
No Decision Expected Until Minister Russ ell
Returns From Colombia.

WASHINGTON, June Except for the
testimony Of W. W. Russell, now United
States Minist er to Colombia. the Bowen
LOOMS case is pract ically closed, Mr..
Russell will probably arrive in Washing
ton within a week or ten DAYS and will
Immediately make statement to Secretary
Taft. MIR. Bowen has failed to produce
any evidence rejecting on the integrity
of Mr.. Loonnis but it is contended that
it has been shown principally by the testi-
mopy of Nicholas Bidole, a New York
newspaper man, that he was directly re-
sponsible to great extent for the publ
cation Of certain portions OF the charges
The charge that Mr.. Loomis had accepted
check for $4,000 from the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt Company has been
absolut ely refuted, and nothing has been
shown in subetantiation OF the alleged
was, however, check for $500 bolvars
signed by Mr.. LOOMS and given to W.
H. Bean, then manager Of the New York
and Bermudez Asphalt Company in Caracas,
in exchange for check for 5000 In Arneri-
can currency; The Tn! explanation ion made by
fectly satisfactory, to Secretary Taft. who
Is conducting the investigation.
Mr.. Bowen. as was said some weeks ago
In TIE sun, will be dropped from the Dip
lomatlo Service on the ground that he was
responsible for the publication Of the
charges against Mr.. LOOMS. Mr.. Biddle,
who testified last Tuesday. said that Mr.
Bowen had given him a number of docu-
ments and pa pers, bearing on the integrity
Of Mr.. LooInis some Of which were pub
lished soon after the appearance OF the
original charges.
While there Is absolutely nothing to
show that Mr.. LOOMS is guilty OF any mis-
conduct, it is understood that the Admins
tration CONSTITUTES the evidence furnished
as indicating that he was indiscreet in taking
part in business transactions in Vene-
zuela while Minister from the United States
to that country,
There will be no decision reached until

by many a sugar mill would be an

the thought suggests itself that the
two might very well be established
together, thereby enlarging the
opportunity for profitable invest
