us being a thorough plumber nnd nu edu
cated mechanic
Ho likes company nnd ho llkos to talk In
fact , ho is a splendid presiding ofllcor
During his visit to Omaha ho made many
friends , who would bo pleased to have htm
return The master plumbers treated tholr
guests as best they know hdw during the
week , and the cotivoution proved a decidedly
satisfactory success
Air Hunnoii was soeu by n reporter nnd
asked in rcgnrd to the general condition ot
labor , and particularly in regard to the
plumbers
"It has boon a oad winter for plumbers , "
said Air Hunnon " Tbo woutbor has been
unfavorable , the harvest Bllm und the protlt
less than half It was ono year ugo , estimat
ing friin a national standpoint Hut the
good part nbout the condition of affairs is
that harmony prevails on every band There
is no sirlfo among the mon or bosses nnd no
trouble whatever Is nnticipatcd "
What is the object of your notional nsso-
ciationl"
' • Simply to protect the Jobbers When
wholesale merchants have an opportunity
they cut on our rates und wo have organized
for our own protection In some instances
they huvo cut on rates oven lower than the
plumber
Sixty cities are represented In our
nutionni association Wo have a membership
of 1,500. Our next moolingiwill be hold In
Juno in Denver The dclegutos whllo on
roulo to Denver will stop off at Omaha and
