", The plasterers are asking, for €0 cents an hour, which the contractors and builders have refused. Owing to the tactics of. the builders'" league. It Is more than probable that the local build- Ing: trades council will call a general strike. : After a long discussion, stablemen's union has decided that it will -not go on strike, to- maintain a closed shop.

"Walker, counsel . for the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, and A. A. Moore, counsel for the Southern; Pacific company, made their arguments. on the contention of the telegraphers that the recent board of arbitration had illegally changed one^of the issues presented to it. This \ was the fourth issue and read as follows: "Question of ; elmlnation fromopera tion of schedule > certain important agencies .where the duties of soliciting traffic are-; paramount." ' The board, consisting of ; Emory "R. Johnson, H. B. Perham and R. A; Ing ham, .Perham dissenting, changed; the issue In the following words: "It\ Is I manifest to the 2 board that the '" real ] question is, 'what stations 'shall; be starred 1 , to : supersede theZ schedule -of i 1902.%" They ignored the" proposition! as to the splicltfng of traffic and starred or ' eliminated all stations where ; telef graphing- was only. a' small' part of the ] agent's duty.
