PLUMBERS war WAKES HOT
Blame for Delay in Arbitration Is
Now Shifted.
Easby-Smith Replies TO Statements
Made by Stuart McNamara. and
Charges Broken Faith.

Conflict between the master plumbers
and the journeymen over the delay in
the arbitration Of the points in dispute
between them brought out additional
statements from the representatives OF
the two sides yesterday Each put the
blame on the other faction Attorney
J. S. Easby-Smith, representing the mas
| ters. expressed himself as follows:
I don't care 10 try my case in the
newspapers. but inasmuch as the jour
neymen have given The Herald care
| fully prepared statement. attempting TO
put the blame for delay on the master
plumbers. or on the board. and inasmuCh
as Mr- Mcnamara has raised the ques-
ton Of veracity upon this subject of de
lay, I shall submit the memoranda from
nay book of daily engagements, and let
the public judge who Is telling the truth.
Several times since they agreed to ar
bitrate and to go back to work under the
first award Of the board, the Journey
men have broken faith and have ordered
their members to quit work for various
reasons, and to refuse TO install certain
sorts of fittings. in direct violation OF
their contract"
Mr.. Easby-Smith submitted numerous
extracts from his diary pertaining to the
subject-matter showing various engage
ments, telephone conversations, &c, and
closed thus:
AS to my being greatly downcast at
tic treatment ! had received from the
bosses'-when Mr.. Mcnamara suggested
that the master plumbers had gone back
on me. I distinctly repudiated the sug
gestion, and said that while I should per-
sonally dislike to see the arbitration de-
feated by failure to agree on the issues, I
approved the stand taken by the master
plumbers. The agreement TO leave out
the Open-shOp question was conditional
upon the acceptance by the union of an
other question. which they refused to ac-
cept."
Attorney Mcnamara, representing the
iourneymen, had no statement 10 make
other than: you may say that every
meeting of the arbitration board which
has been held has been called by me. It
is true, as I said before. that one of
the journeymen's representatives on the
board. Mr.. Raston, was absent from the
city last week. ] tried to call meeting
for to-day, bat was unable to get the
members together, so have called for one
to be held Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
That is all I care to say"
This was said after a conversation be-
tween Attorneys Easby-Smith and Nc
Namara, in the presence Of a Washington
Herald reporter, In the course Of which
it became manifest that each of the gen
tlemen had been correctly quoted by this
paper

Flower shows of Agriculture and
War Departments Continue TO
Attract Many Visitors.

The question Of a name f0f the white
chrysanthemum, attracting SO much at
tention at the show being given by the
Agricultural Department, has finally been
settled by the announcement yesterday
that it had been named for Mrs. Donald

The number Of visitors To the two shows
continues uudiminished a keen but good

The two gardens and the respective merits

A conference was held at the Interstate

FOX CASE MAY BEAT DRYDEN.
senator Trying Hard to Retain Place
for New Jersey Man.

se3tNtor Trying Hard TO Bet0fh FtstcS
for New Jersey Man.
Recent developments indicate that the
proposed change in the dictatorship Of the
Bureau OF American Republics may be-
come a factor in the New Jersey sena-
tortal situation. William c. Fox, the pres
ent director, who. it is generally under
stood, is to be succeeded by John Bar
rett, the highest salaried government Of
fetal in the service credited to New Jer-
sey.
His appointment TO succeed W ".
ROckhill, came after a hard fight, and was
largely due to the influence Of Senators
Dryden and Kean. If Mr. Fox should be
retired now the enemies Of the New Jer-
sey Senator may use this as an indication
that the New Jersey Senators are no
longer IN tough with the White House,
which would not help Senator Dryden,
who Is now engaged in the most difficult
contest of his political career.
This phase OF the situation has not been
brought out before. but. now that it has
it Is regarded as probable that Senator
Dryden and his colleague will do their
utmost TO have AIr. Fox retained in Of
fee. Should it be made TO appear in
New Jersey that Senator Dryden Is not
sufficiently influential 20 succeed in this
matter, il is probable that his chances Of
reelection would be materially impaired
