Journeymen Willing to Put Case Before State-Con ciliation Board- Journeymen plumbers stood pat Wednesday when they met a't- the union hall to discuss the . strike situation. As a result, whatever plumbing was done in the city was through the master plumbers. T.he journeymen regard the sit uation in the nature of a lockout instead of a strike; They say they presented the proposed wage in crease to the master plumbers oq December 1, and that this was not granted. When a majority of them reported ror work, -Wednesday morning they found their ser vices were not ih demand. Willingness to submit the con troversy to a state board of con ciliation was expressed at the, meeting. They were also willing to complete contracted jobs at the old rate of I?. 50 a day, no matter how long the job, providing the new scale of $8.50 was granted and applied on all new work. It would be unfair to the third member of jl local board of arbi tration, it was brought out, for by selecting a representative from the journeymen, another from the master plumbers and the third from a group of business men, who would eventually -have to de cide the question. One of the journeymen remarked he would not have the nerve to ask any man to sit in this position. Contrary to the belief of some people in Salem, the strike or lock out was not called simultaneously with the sudden drop in tempera ture, but lia,Jteen planned weeks in advance.-to take effect the first of the year. - ONLY 3 OAYSf LEFT -: , OF AUTO CONTEST (Continued from page 1) "Peaceful Peter" rllgh. . , Peaceful, 'Peters, .starring William v Fairbanks, .will' be the featured attraction ot the Bligh heater today.
