IN WAGE WRANGLE
Masters Give in Pending
Decision on Demand

The first victory in the plumbers
wage dispute was scored by the en-
pioyes yesterday when the master
plumbers agreed to pay the union
men the scale asked for the first
three days Of this week or until
Wednesday night when the union

the employers that the issue be sub
mitted to arbitration.
The employers. according to one
Of them. are asking that the con-
troversy be left to the Department
of Labor for settlement. The en-
ployers are willing. they declare
to abide by any decision OF the De-
partment, whether II be in their raw
or or that of the employees.
To the demand of the employees,
that they are one of the lowest
paid mechanical crafts in the city
the master plumbers respond with
the counter contention that in the
interests of the public, the pres
ent is not an opportune time I"
raise costs.
Even should the employees. refuse
at their Wednesday meeting to &C
cede to the demand of the en-
ployers for arbitration, IL is by nc
means certain that a strike Will We
called. The matter will then be up
to the employers. who may decide
to acquiesce in the raise. In the
event they do not, a strike Is likely
however.
Dissatisfaction among the plumb
ers union first arose. according to
a union official, when the post
war stabilization conference set the
plumbers wage at IS a day and
awarded higher pay to trades 81

gineered by the stabilization con-
ference has now expired and the

A Glimpse of the After-Life..
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Clovis c. Chappe Pastor Of the Mount

work a moral change. that you
can lie down one moment self-cent-
cred, sin-conquered, godless-and by
the mere act Of dying. wake up the
next moment. holy. sinless and
Christiike. 1t Is absolutely false.
II Christ does not save you in the
here and now do not expect death
to accomplish what He was unable
to accomplish. II the blood OF Jesus
Christ can not cleanse you from all
sin, do not be so mad as to ex-
pect that cleansing at the hands Of
the undertaken, the shroud and the
coffin. Believe me. that as death
finds you, 30 you will be the in
slant after when you open your
eyes in the world unseen.
Separates Good and Bad.
And, last of all, Christ makes II
plain to US in this story that all
men are not going to have the
same destiny in the world unseen.
He teaches US that there Is going
to be a separation there between
the good and the bad. between the
Christlike and the Christless. These
two men in the world unseen were
separated. Between them. we are
told. there was a great gulf ixed
Who separated them? God, you
say? deny II. They separated
themselves. The chasm between
Dives and Lazarus was made in this
life. They made different choices
here. Those different choices led
to differlat characters. They be.
came morally separated by a chasn
as wide as right from wrong. as
night from day. And that separa.
tion continued beyond the grave.
Not only did Dives choose to live
for himself. but he chose 1t in tn,
face of the light. He knew better
He knew the life that he ought e
live. When he is refused the droi
OF water. he asks that Lazarus b,
sent to his five brothers to war;
them. thus implying that he wa,
not rightly warned, that IL he haI
proper warning he himself woulC
never have made the fatal choic,
that he did make and achieve tn,
fatal destiny that he achieved.
But the reply to this is very EN-
phatic and very clear. You had.

That Is light enough. And II a maj

persuaded by them. neither will the,

Can BE Saved by Choice.
The truth OF the matter is tha
God has no way OF getting any Inal
into heaven when he has hell in hi
own heart. You can not mix the liv
ing and the dead even in this life
A little child was last week CARRIE
out Cf home where 1t was the lido

whatever 1t may be, is but the bury
