PETROGRAD, April 49,
Trebizond, the most important
city of the Turkish Black sea
coral has been captured by the
Russian forces engaged in the Ar
menian campaign according to
official advices to the war office
This ayening.
As Trebizond IS a heavily forti-
fed town, its capture at the pres
ent time is entirely unexpected.
Fighting has been going On in the
environs for some time but at last
accounts the Russians were en-
countering stubborn resistencs
and the final reduction OF the po-
sition seemed remote. The cap
ture Of Arsene Kessia, II miles
from the outer defense of Trebi-
bond, however. proved vita
blow at the Turkish defense by
compelling the Turks to with
draw from lager area Of the
surrounding terrain.
A continuation of the offensive
combined with a strong encircl
ing movement compelled the
Turks to fall back upon the city
and later retire under heavy
bombardment. The fall of Trebi-
zond has caused great rejoicing
roughout the empire.

Plumbers and Employers Reach
AmicabIe Agreement
NEUTRALS TAKE A PART
Officers of Commercial Club Aid
In Bringing the Factions
Together
From Mondays Daily.

The strike or lockout of Journey
men plumbers, however it may be
termed, which occurred seven weeks
ago, has been declared off. The Com
mercial club was the intermediary,
and helped to smooth out the differ
ences between the employers and
employees.
Several citizens who are building
approached the officers of the Com
mercial club several days ago, to see
whether it could not arbitrate the
troubles, and later parties appeared
on behalf of the journeymen plum
bers with the same request, and
were told that if the union would
make a written request of the club
that it try to settle the difficulty the
matter would be taken up. The Off
GERS of the union at once did this, and
President Currier and Secretary
Soaring of the club held a meeting
with the union Thursday afternoon.
The plumbers had been holding out
for an eight hour day and 81 day
for all who have worked at the trade
five years or more. The employers
held that to grant an eight hour day
would place them at a great diSad
vantage, because the carpenters work
nine hours, and the work of the
plumbers and carpenters goes along
together in new buildings. Also, they
held that they wanted to pay their
men according to their worth, in
dividually.
Terms of Agreement.
The Plumbers union, after going
into the matter thoroughly with the
Commercial club officers, voted unan-
imously to make some concessions.
They agreed to waive the claim for
an eight hour day until the carpen-
tiers and painters get organized, and
in the place of this to accept a Sat-
urday half holiday during the three
summer months They also agreed
that if any of the employees were not,
in the judgment of the employers,
worth 81 a day, the latter did not
need to keep them. This compromise
was submitted to the state official of
the unions, who passes on such mat
tiers, and he telegraphed back Sat-
urday afternoon, giving his approval
to these terms.
The Commercial club officers then
met Saturday evening with the en-
ployers, and after the matter had
been carefully gone into the employ
ers voted unanimously to accept the
terms of the compromise. The men
were to return to work this morn
ing. Several of them have found
work outside of the city, but most
of them have been idle during the
past seven weeks.
The settlement of this difficulty is
a matter for congratulation. The
journeymen plumbers obtain the sub
stance of what they had asked, and
instead of getting an hour off each
day get almost as much time off
Saturday afternoons, when they can
use it to better advantage. They also
get the wage scale that they sought.
On the other hand, the master plumb
ers preserve their nine hour day I'M
til such time as it will not be ne
cessity with them, and also have the
right to discharge help that they do
not think earns the wage scale. The
public is benefited, in that there will
be no delay in building operations,
which are more extensive in the
city this year than ever before.
