TRADES SUSTAIN PLUMBERS
Vote Against Interpretation of
Awards by Board.
VIII Refuse to Allow Disputed
Clause in Arbitration Decision
30 Be Acted Upon Again.

The committee of seventeen. one from
each trade represented in the Building
Trades Alliance, last night voted TO sustain
the jOurneyman plumbers in their refusal
to allow the disputed clauses in the recent
plumbers arbitration award to go back
to the arbitrators for Interpretation. A
resolution to this effect was adopted and
viii be sent TO the two master builders
associations for their information.
This action was fully expected by the
trades. and leaves the situation practically
as it was two weeks ago. with an acute
crisis impending. This is what might be
termed the finaI stand of the alliance in
support of the jOurneyman plumbers. 1t
arrays all the unions on one side as op-
posed to the clauses in dispute going back
to the arbitration board for interpretation,
and all the masters, the two master build
ers' associations, and the Master Plumb
ers' Association on the other. as favoring
such a move.
When the alliance and the master build
ers entered the controversy several weeks
ago in an endeavor to settle it amicably,
1t was thought that they would be able
10 do so with as much dispatch as they
brought about the arbitration Several
meetings were held. but no agreement
could be reached, and it was decided to
let the master builders meet and agree
upon what stand they would take In the
matter as an organization. They decided
to uphold the contention of the master
plumbers. and since that time the matter
has been at a standstill. everybody prac-
tieally standing pat on their views and
refusing to reeede,
BY the action Of the committee Iast
night the alliance has committed itself
as irrevoeably supporting the plumbers
in their positive refusal TO let the dis
puted clauses go back 10 the arbitration
board,
The trades are doing ali in their power,
it is said. TO avoid a disastrous strike but
will not recede from their position, no
matter what transpires.
A crisis will be reached on April q.

award for the restoration 10 membership

London. March 30.-No such roaring
jacquerie has been seen in Europe for a
hundred years as that which is now rag
ing throughout Moldavia and Wallachia,
the two provinces out of which the king
dom Of ROumania is formed. The cause
of the Roumanian peasants desperation
lies on the surface. Their great landlords.
freed from the long subsection OF Turkey,
have become the most luxurious and dis
sollte class of mobiles in Europe Entirely
neglecting the supervision Of their own
estates, they live in the towns and farm
out the lands TO bailifs. who extort the
last possible penny from the peasantry.
The majority of these baiiiffs, with
the full authority of the land own
ers and supported by bribed officials,
demand double and treble the rents, which
ara already heavy. The peasants, who
have no means Of obtaining a livelihood.
have thus been reduced, with their wives
and children. to live in rotten hIits on the
verge of starvation.
They are all the more formidable As al
have served a period Of military service
and now, having passed the bounds OF
passive resistance, are giving vent 10
their pent-up hatred and passion with the
utmost savageness. Drastic land legtsla-
ti0n, Involving large measures Of what is
practically confscation. is considered to
be the only means Of establishing perma-
nent order.
The Spectator sees in the whole affair
whatever its termination. a lesson for
all Europe. It says:
1T has been assumed by all statesmen
that in the great collision of labor and
capital which is now shaking European
society the steadying influence is the
st0lldity Of the peasants, who have al
ways been ready to furnish soldiers, and
who are supposed to have an instructive
regard for the security of property The
idea is sound so long as the peasants own
a little farm, but when the cultivators
who rent the sell In patches are liable to
increasing or indefinite demands the
doctrine ceases 20 be true. The peasants
then suffer like the artisans"
The Spectator concludes.
In Russia. Austria. parts Of Italy. and
most Of the Balkan states. the Roumanian
9acquerie, whether successful or defeated.
viii immensely increase the excitability
of the peasantry. and the perpIexities of
statesmen already overloaded with prob

has been nothing like general in.

profitable rates have been increased
to the standard OF schedule rates.
These special rates were discrimina.
tive against large number of places
and were originally established by
competing companies. which by rea.
son thereof went into bankruptcy.
Most OF the rates increased were 25
cents for ten words rates 1t costs
at least 30 cents each to handle such
