Bosses Agree to Give Men 11
Minimum Wage of $6
Commencing Today
The master plumbers who have
been threatened with a strike unless
their men were granted a wage of 86
a day beginning June lst held a meet-
ing last evening at which time there
— was a hot" discussion as to whether
the demands of the men should be
meet.
After a long dessertation upon the
pro' s and cons of the demand it was
finally agreed that the demand be
met. ‘
The plumbers had threatened a
-- general walkout or strike beginning
today if their demands which they
had made some time ago were not
met and it was the fact. that the di-
mands of the man were so impera-
tive that they were granted.
There has been trouble brewing be-
tween the master plumbers and their
men for the past two months, with
regards to the rate of pay per day
and the matter came to a head about
tire weeks ago when an ultimatum
was delivered to the master plumb'i
era that unless a rate of $6 a day was
