Farms, Peabody and Manchester de- 
clared a strike Tuesday, pending an 
agreement. between their local union 
and the master plumbers for a new

struction in these towns is tied up.

master plumbers and the journeymen 
/plumbers, through their representa- 
tives, signed an agreement which ex- 
pired on March 19. In the’ agree- 
ment was a clause that sixty days’ 
notice should be given of any desired 
change in the working rules. On 
March 19, the journeymen plumbers 
sent to the master plumbers a 
schedule calling for double pay for 
overtime and no Saturday afternoon 
work except in case of emergency, 
this agreement to be operative for 
one year, As the sixty days’ notice
