UNION PLUMBERS
ARE OUT ON STRIKE
rs Of the no Men Lay Down
Tools to Enforce De-
mandS
SAY THREE FIRMS
HAVE GIVEN IN

Seventy-five Of the one hundred and
ten Union Plumbers Of the city went
on strike this morning for a 44-hour
week at increased wages, taking with
them a large number Of non union men
on a sympathetic strike. The masters
declare. however. that their work is
not being interfered with.
1t is the second strike Of the Union
Plumbers in four years and increases
the number Of striking trades union
men IN this city to three. the brick
layers and carpenters already being
out. Four years ago the plumbers went
on strike TO demand a 4S-hour week
at S21OO and won a 4S-hour week at
$500
Strikers Issue Statement.
The walk ont this morning was
orderly. The men notified their en-
ployers three months ago Of their de-
mands and when no answer was forth
coming this morning they quietly
packed up their tools and left the
shops. The strike affects only the
building trade.
Immediately after the men went out
they held a meeting at headquarters to
discuss the situation. Afterwards they
issued the following statement:
$50 far three employing plumbing
firms have acceded TO our demands
which are not exorbitant The wage
we ask is not great, being only AZ ga
cents per hour for senior mechanics
and Al cents per hour for juniors
Considering the high cost of living
and the years a man must serve TO
become a mechanic this is far from
being unjust. We have about seventy
five of the best mechanics in the city
out at present, some of the non union
men have gone out with us and as a
number of our men have gone to work
Tor the three conceeding firms, the out
look is very favorable"
Masters Apparently Unooneerned.
Representatives of the Master
Plumbers Association said that only
q union men had left their employ
and that work would proceed without
them as usual. A meeting of the Mas
ters will be held tonight when it is
probable the strike will be discussed.
SO far the Masters have ignored the
demands of the Union.
