A possible sensation In local labor circles
IB Impending In the threat of Local
Plumbers' union , No. 16 , to secede from
the national plumbers' organization as a
conien.uen.ce of a fight that has been on all
this spring between local plumbers ami a
plumbing' houao Hhlch was established In
this lty last spring. Th6 situation Is lu
ftiany respects the most peculiar In the his
tory of local labor organizations
The peculiarity In the case lies In the
fact that the ftKht did not arlso from con-
jelitlonnl reftaons. Ordlnarll > n strike or n
bojcott In rteclnreil because nonunion men

Hut the local plumbing house observes nil
union rules and still It Is bojcottcd nml a
strike lias been declared amoni ; Its em
ploye1 !
The actual cans * of complaint Is that the
plumbing houee persist * In charging for Its
plumbing work le-n than the other extab-
llnhments In Uie clt > This In unsatisfac
tory to the Journeymen plumbers , although

The local house Is a branch of a St Louis
firm. The light upon It as far as Omaha la
concerned started before It came to this
city. Lust fall the Omaha plumbers declared
n bojcott upon Its goods because It per
sisted In rolling thorn at a lower figure than
other houses In retaliation for this boj-
cott the St. Ixiuls flrm In January last In
stalled a branch house In this city and com
menced to prosecute an aggressive war upon
the bo > cotters
Its plan of cimpalgn succeeded It is
flRiirad generally by conservative plumbers
that the new house has secured CO per cent
of nil plumbing business that is being done
or his been done In the city this spring
It has secured this business slmpl > bj un
derbidding other firms A strike has been
declared among Its emploves those plumbers
who stajed by It ha\e been suspended by
their union and it has been declared an
unfair shop , but all of this has failed to
stop the prosperity of the new house or to
Increase Its prices for plumbing work
About two weeks ago the matter -was
brought to a climax The plumbing estab
lishment decided to fight the bo > cott and
the strike. The local plumbers' union was
willing to lock horns with it on the mitter
As n consequence the case was carried to
the executive committee of the national
plumbers' organization This committee
could not be gotten together and delegated
authority , with power to act , upon Presi
dent Kelly of the orginlzatton to decide
the cate. After listening to both sides
President Kelly decided In fa\or of the Iccal
union. The plumbing establishment nevertheless -
theless declined to charge more for Its
plumbing work and carried the case over
President Kelly s held to the executive
committee This committee has displa > eden
on Inclination to reopen the case and the
local union has threatened to secede If It
does.
Other labor organizations have so far
stool by the plumbers' union. But the
plumbers are likely to stand alone if they
secede from their national body.

Koscnthal. the eminent pianist , was the
attraction at the Bojd tUeater last night
The house was not overcrowded , owing
probably to the fact that those who would
Imvo been willing to hear the greatest pian
ist of modern times hestltatcd when they
considered the unnecessary Increase in
prices
Km .1 musical critic to attempt a criti

what like unto a schoolboj shooting wltn

Roscnthal , and his greatness Is unim

Ho came from the stage to the piano In
the manner of a man of Intellect entering
Into his own Ilbrars , for Mich the scenery
depicted. And when he had seated himself -
self at the piano the hush was Intense wlille
the opiiilng striins , of the old-fashioned
but uev"er otit of-'latc Mozart sonata floated
through the listening space.
The poetrj of llosenthal enthralled the
audience and he was pronounced the mon
arch of the pianoforte at once. Then In
tlie Chopin sonata the vlrllitj of the artist
wa apparent , as the scherzo and the finale
were bandied with a force lufflclent to In
dicate Inherent dramatic force and ability.
And what shall be said of the other gems

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
"Spud Farrish while being one of the
best fellows Imaginable is considered
among his friends as being chock full of
nerve ind capable of backing up any bluff
he might see fit to make He made an offer
recently while In Kansas Cltj , however ,
that kept himself In breathless suspense
for a moment and fairly shook the glasses
from the nose of Mark Lewis a Chicago
newspaper man , who accompanied him
'Spud" was crossing the street at the
lunctlon one day and while boarding a car
lost his pocketbook containing some passes
and something over ? SO In cash He did not
discover the absence of the book until an
hour later Then he hied himself to the
office of an afternoon paper where he re
lated his woes Of course the bojs vvho knew
him said "You're ea j , " and "That's a good
story to tell , " but this did not deter him
from writing an advertisement offering a
liberal reward for Its return.
A couple of dajs later when he had about
given up hope of hearing from his book
again he received a note from a youv ;
woman asking him to call Accompanied bj
Lewis he went to the house. They were ad
mitted bj a very pretty girl who asked
"Spud" to describe the book he had lost
Ho related briefly a list of the contents ,
vvhl-h the joung woman evidently found
correct as she handed him the lost article
Taking the $ SO from the book "Spud"
handed It to her and said It was no more
than right that she should have a suitable
reward for her honesty. This was too much
for Lewis , vvho knew that he nnd his friend
together possessed Just $1 "T with which to
resist the wiles of the citizens of Kansas
City ' 'Spud" was game , however , and al
though hi * hand trembled he did not appear
to care a snap for the cash. The mother of
the girl came to his rescue by saying she
could not permit such a present for the mere
return of the book. The pair gulped down
their hearts and left the house thankful that
they were again flush , and breathing all
kinds of blessings upon the head of the
finder of the monej' .

Many sidewalks In different portions of the
clt ) are In \er > bad condition an 1 the
city authorities will be called upon before
long to , take some decisive action In the
matter. A resolution was Introduced in the
ctt ) council several wefks ago calling upon
the city attorn ? } to draft an ordinance for
permanent walks on the west side of Q street
Irom the viaduct went to the end of the
street car tracks This ordinance has not
been presented as jet , although residents
In that section are complilnlng dall > about
I the dilapidated condition of the walk * There
I Is not a vacant house or store room on
West Q street at the present time anl hun
dreds of people dally traverse that thor
oughfare A well kept walk Is me led anl
If the wishes of some of the propert > owners
had been compiled with permanent walks
would have been laid some months ago It
Is expected that walks of a substantial char
acter will bo ordered in all the downtown
portions of the cltv before long ns .Major
i Ensor favors the placing of cither brick or
'stone walks In front of everj building of a
permanent nature A new walk Is badly
needed on Twenty-fifth street from the city
hall building north to M street and It Is ex
pected that the council will soon take up
this matter and pass nn ordinance compell
ing property owners on both sides of
Twenty-fifth street between M and X streets
to Inj durable walks. Work of the stmo
kind Is needed In other parts of the city an 1
It Is thought that propcrtj owners can bo
Induced to supplant board walks with brick
or stone during the coming summer. If this
Is done It Is believed that fewer accidents
will occur and the cltv will not so fre-
quentlj be held liable for damages.

Acting under the Instructions of Major
Knsor , City Clerk Carpenter vesterday
served a written notice on Chief Carroll to
the effect that all policemen would be ex
pected to file a good and sufllclent bond at
once Out of the present force onlj nine
policemen have filed bonds according to law.
All bonds require a revenue stamp of the
denomination of 30 cents and this the police
olficers will be compelled to furnish , as
there is no appropriation available out of
cltj funds for the purpose In connection
with police matters it might be stated that
several extra policemen hove been put to
work In order to enforce the recent order
of the major in regard to midnight and
Sunday closing Just who will paj for these
extra policemen Is a question , ns the fund
for police maintenance Is exhausted and no
expense bejond the limits of the fund can
be incurred except in emergencj cases

Five hundred dog tags were received bj
Cltj Clerk Carpenter jesterday afternoon
The annual dog tax Is due on Maj 1 and all
owners of canines will be expected to call
at the clerk's office between this time and
May 1 and procure a tag The rates will be
the same as last jear $1 for a male dog and
f2 for a female Last jear the policemen
made an oarlj morning tour of the citj and
shot all dogs found running loose. In sev
eral Instances mistakes were made land an
imals with togg were killed It is more than
likely that this jear the killing or capturing
of untagged animals will be left to the gar
bage master and his assistants. The new
tags are in the shape of an acorn and are
made of aluminum , with the name of the
city , the date and the number of the tag
stamped thereon

The packers report that the trade In
smoked meats Is Improving. In fact there Is
a better trade In this
line than there was a
year ago at this time One of the managers
of the provision department of a prominent
packing house said jesterdaj tfiat the pros
pects for higher prices were good on account
of stock in the hands of the packers being
low and the demand constantly on tbe In
crease. All of the local packers are doing
their best to accumulate a surplus , but this
cannot be done as long as the demand con
stantly Increases With all the demands at
the present time the requirements are not
equal to those of a jear ago and owing to
the shortage reported In live stock the mar
ket for packing house products will un
doubtedly go higher.

"Looking ont upon his age , he
beheld young men crazed with a
mania for money. He saw them
refusing to cross the college
threshold , closing the book , neg
lecting conversation , despising friendship , postponing
marriage , that they might increase their goods. Yet
he remembered that earth's most gifted children
have been content with small means , performing
their greatest exploits midst comparative poverty. "
