ter conditions to the last ditch.
Breathing defiance against the lex
orbitant demands" of the union and
promising to halt the city's 100000
900 building program if need be, G.
G. Norman, head of the Employers
Association declared last night that
no concession whatever would be
made to the union.
Within a week, majority of the
building trades workers will be idle
because of the lockout order, while a
protracted struggle engineered by the
bosses will practically tie up the in
dustry. That the employers mean a
fight to the finish is indicated by
the entry of the Employers Asso-
citation into the situation. The Mas
ter Plumbers have been told to stand
aside while the contractors and build
ers representing all lines unite to
battle the plumbers.
The lockout arises from the strike
of Brooklyn plumbers for S14 day,
a 81 rise. According to the city-wide
agreement, the S14 scale if won would
apply to all plumbers locals within
80 days.
The journeymen and their helpers,
who are standing by them during the
lockout, were on the jobs yesterday
morning, but were locked out at var
ious times during the day. This
morning no union men reported for
work in Manhattan, the Bronx,
Queens, Brooklyn and Richmond.
Last minute effots on the part of
the workers to enjoin the bosses from
putting the lockout order into force
failed when Judge Richard H. Nit
chell, sitting in the supreme court,
Bronx, refused their pleas for an in
junction against the bosses.
Five Day Week Big Issue.
The five-day week looms as the big
issue which will result in a finish
fight, leaders of the plumbers declar-
ed yesterday. Granting this to the
plumbers would make this a funda-
mental issue with the rest of the
building trades.
/ An active offensive against all the
unions of the building trades, and an
attempt to break down the conces-
sions won after years of struggle
with the employers is seen in the
/ lockout action.
"This is a movement to set back
the standard of living of all the build
ing trades workers." declared James
Walsh, organizer of the plumbers
| helpers.
The American Association of
Plumbers Helpers last night, through
its president C. E. Miller, called out
all the helpers in Greater New York
to strike in protest against the lock-
out of the plumbers.
At the same time their own de-
mands, originally made when 1850
plumbers helpers went on strike in
Brooklyn on April /, are being pre-
scented. Nearly 1000 helpers will be
involved with all of the hepers in
Greater New York joined in the walk
out.
Besides insisting on recognition Of
thir union, the plumbers helpers are
demanding 50 a day instead of $4;
40-hour week, and double pay for
overtime.
The wages of the helpers are de-
clared by the men to be the lowest
of any of the helpers in the building
trades.

Planes May Go To HankOw.
Close observers of the situation
here point to the concentration of i'm
perialist warships at Hankow and to
the arrival of flotilla of American
submarines at Hongkong Monday as
indications of an imperialist attack
on Hankow. Twelve American mill
tary planes, which arrived at Shang-
hal yesterday, may be dispatched to
the Nationalist capital, it is stated
The announcement of the with
drawal of the northern forces from
positions north of Marking leads OBJ
servers here to believe that Chang
Kai Shek is ready to ally himself
with the war lords and the imper-
ialist powers in a war against the
Nationalist government.
Rabbits Gust Editor.
The Chamber of Commerce here
has ousted the "China Weekly Re-
view" from membership because the
magazine opposed the sending of
troops and warhips to China.
In a statement issued yesterday in
defence of his position, J. P. Powell,
of Hannibal, Mo-, editor of the maya
zine said:
Scores u. S. Policy.
"The American people have no
business to interfere in the internal
affairs of the Chinese. The Cham
Der of Commerce apparently believes
in involving America in compiled
tions in this part of the world, which,
in my opinion, may have a far
reaching effect, even to the extent of
another world war.
81 believe that the Chinese have
the right to express their views as
we'll as the English or Americans, or
others, and so long as / am engaged
in the publication of an American
paper in Shanghai it is my intention
to give them a square deal"
Move On Canton.
CANTON, April 27.-Hankow is
reported to have sent four armies to
Canton to crush the right wing ter

to be commanded by Generals Tan
Yen-kai, Chu Peh-tak, Chen Chen
and Chun Fat-kwai, and will move
thru Honan Province attacking Can
ton by way of the Fac and North
Rivers, utilizing the peasant and
labor unions in the districts en- route.

LONDON, April 27.-The British
cabinet met at 10 Downing street
today to consider the Chinese situa-
ton.
The inability of the powers to
agree on reply to Eugene Chen's
note regarding the Marking affair
has caused some uneasiness here and
it is reported that one faction of the
cabinet desires independent action. 1t

retire members of the regular de- partment on their request, when such members had completed 25 years service. The charter at pres ent gives the board of police com- missioners the opti in cases of ap- plicants for pension who have per- formed 25 years service, and com- pels the board to retire applicants of 80 years service.
 The section relative to retirement at the age of 65 years will be strick- en out, if tho recommendation of those attending he meeting is adopted. This section Is as follows:
 Any member of the police depart ment, who shall have been in the service of the city as policeman 20 years and shall have reached the age of 65, may on his request, be retired on half pay by the board of police commissioners, or transferred to the veteran reserve force.'
 A change in the section relative to retirement at the age of 50 to strike out "or transferred to the vet eran reserve force" was voted. 50 that the section will read: Any member of the police department who shall have been In t,ie service of the city as policeman 25 years and shall have reached the age of 60 years, shall. on his request be re- tired on half pay by the board of police commissi ers."

Patrolmen Insist on Aid for
 Dependents from Pension Fund
Assessment Not Increased

! Payment of two per cent of their wages into the fund was favored, and will be continued. There has been talk of increasing this assess ment but the majority of the de- partment members arc opposed to it.
 The meeting voted to recommend change in the section relating to retirement for disability. so as to have it read as follows: "Said board of police commissioners shall permanently retire on half pay any member of the regular or veteran reserve force who has become per manently disqualified from perform ing any duty upon certificate of a surgeon or surgeons appointed by said board of police commissioners showing that such member Is per manently disqualified for the per formance of all police duty. and that such disqualification is caused by the natural infirmities of old age, or by some injury received. disease contracted. or exposure endured while performing the duties of his service, without fault on his part" The proposed change in this sec tion is the substitution of "shalr' for may" in the first line.
 Retirement After 25 Years
 It was voted to recommend change whereby the board of police commissioners would be obliged to

According to a letter received by Chairman E. F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation all the i'm provements supposed to be taken care of through the s5o,0o0 loan which B. A. Hawley, vice presid, Ut of the American Hardware Corp, made to the city without interest art either made or abandoned, SS5,SS6 keing spent on the projects.
 So far, according to MT. Hall, Sl0,000 of the loan has been pad back and when the city appropriates Sl0.000 more in the present budget, only sl5,369 will be left. The fi- nance board chairman expressed a hope that this will be cleaned up next year. MT. Hawley's loan is for an indefinite length of time.
 Another matter which must be met by the finance board is for money to meet the S10,000 subway bonds which are due in 1942. Cur lis shelden, city treasurer, has dis covered s3,S9S.75 credited to the city in the savings bank. The board voted to use this as basis for a sinking fund to meet the bonds in i942. It was estimated that S20O must be added to the fund annually ir order that it might reach the necessary amount. It was voted to recommend that action to the com mon council.

Recommend Clause in Charter in Spite of Ad- verse Action Taken by Pension Board.

An effort will be put forth to make provision in the city charter for dependents of policemen dying in the service by making them bene- ficiaries under the pension system, according to vote taken at meeting of the officers and patrol men of the regular police depart ment yesterday afternoon. The pension board last week acted un- favorably on a proposal to provide for policemen's widows. but the men who are paying into the pension fund feel that dependents other than widows might well be given consideration and to this end charter change will be sought.
 A number of other proposed changes in the pension system were acted on at the meeting, which was presided over by Chief W. c. Hart Officer William O'Mara, who repre- sents the department on the pen- sion board, was instructed to pre- pare an amendment to the charter to provide for payment of half pay to members of the department dis missed from the service except that those who shall have been found guilty of statutory oftense or other serious charges shall not benefit by the arrangement.
 A change is also favored to retire to the veteran reserve force on half pay department members incapaci- tated by illness or injury while not on duty, with the provision that on their return to health they shall re- sume duty on full pay. The present charter provisions do not cover cases of men becoming i'll or injured while off duty. and the policemen feel the change should be made.
