About thirty plumbers, members OF

in the agreement between them and the
bosses. They struck October 8, 1910

increase from $4.00 to $40 a day

plumbers were congregated in unioI
headquarters at 146 smith street. Botf
the journeymen and the bosses appear

them.
What the Bosses Say.
One of the bosses when asked ab0u
the strike stated there was j singh
disagreement over the understanding
between the bosses and the journey

ONE CARRIER SERVES

That postofiee clerks and carriers Of
this city will have their wishes graft
fed, regarding the eurtaiIment Of Sun
day work, is now becoming evident.
Postmaster Tice is working in conJune-
tion with the postal department at
Washington TO shorten Sunday work at
the local office. He began yesterday
by trying a new Sunday working
schedule. by which, it is understood,
but a single carrier works on a Sun
day and clerks can be off duty every
other Sunday He stated today that
the new arrangement pleased him high
ly, but other changes would most like
ly be tried.
Postmaster Gives Opinion.
Mr Tice declares that he wants to
establish the best possible arrangement
of schedules, SO that as much business
as possible can be handled and yet the
postofice employees may be freed from
work that can be omitted without han
dicap. He states changes will most
likely continue for sometime so that
the best schedule possible may be OBJ
tanned. He stated today that he would
not. be in a position to inform the pub
lie of any such changes until they had
been tried, proven satisfactory and
approved by the United States postal
department.
By the new arrangement tried yes
terday, it is understood, but one of the
ten carriers viii collect on Sunday, and
he viii only cover the principal bust
ness districts; that clerks work but ev-
cry other Sunday, and that the ear
rier's window is closed Sunday g.
Victory for Employees.
Inasmuch as the postal department
and the postmaster has taken this sub
ject up and work has been started
upon the changes, the postofice EN-.
plOyes consider they have won theil
| fight started some weeks ago when they
interested clergymen of the city in q
