Better Wages Draw Striking
Plumbers To Other Cities.
Fourth Week Sees No Settlement of Differences and Some
Master Plumbers Still Refuse Demands of Journeymen

The strike of the Journeymen
Plumbers which was called on May
1st after the master plumbers refused
the demands of the journeymen, is no
nearer a settlement than it was the
day the men went out.
About the only thing new to report
is that the journeymen plumbers are
leaving our city and it will not be
long until all of them are gone unless
the master plumbers concede to the
increase in wages asked for by their
men. Last week five plumbers left
our city and are now located in Ash
vile, North Carolina. These men
start with seventy-fve cents per hour
and with double time for overtime.
Two more plumbers have left and
are now working in Germantown on
Conservancy work. Four more left
Wednesday morning and are now
working in Dayton, Ohio. These men
receive seventy-five cents to begin
with, and July 1st their wages will be

IS DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO WIN THE WAR
The Carpenters
GIVE $4,000 TO WAR
CHEST.

Carpenters Union Local No. 637,
held another rousing meeting last
Thursday night. Besides much rou-
tine business several matters of i'm
portance to the men were discussed.
Business Agent Swain Corson report
ed that there is still a great demand
for carpenters and none to be had.
The organization bubbled over with
patriotism to the extent of voting
$4,000 to the War Chest fund. Many
carpenters are in the service and the
brothers here at home say they will
back them up with all their resources
and will vote more from the treasury
if necessary.
1t was reported that all the employ
es on the new Bentel and Margedant
shops east of the canal, including the
carpenters, are hundred per centers
on the War Chest. No more patriot
ic labor organization exists in the city
of Hamilton than the carpenters.

eighty cents per hour.
One of the plumbers enlisted in the
United States Army, and two more
will leave shortly under the selective
draft
Another plumber has quit the bust
ness and has asked the union for his
withdrawal card. He is going into
another line of business. Two of the
journeymen are now working for Don
aid Metzler the Lindenwald plumber
and the only man to sign the scale Of
the plumbers organization.
We are informed that the master
plumbers have held several meetings,
and that few are desirous of sign
ing the new agreement Immediately,
but the majority are opposed to it.
This leaves the situation about the
same as last week, only that when the
time comes for the bosses to wake up,
there will be no plumbers to be had.
Seven members of the union are all
that remain on strike.
