Martin B. Skinny Madden, ended without result. It Is not likely that any agreement will be reached under which the striking men will be allowed to return to work before Monday, when President Baldwin of the Otis company will come to Chicago. Until then it appears work on the four big buildings, the La Salle and Blackstone hotels and the structures of the Peoples Gaslight and Coke company and Hart, Schaffner will be at a standstill. Reinforcements came to the strikers, who are aiming not so much at the employers as against Skinny Madden.

Twenty-five plasterers quit work on the La Salle hotel.

Secombe, pastor of Goshen Congregational church, as being born to her has departed Man the residents hereabouts and today the pastor, his wife and the babies left in obedience to the urgent request of the church trustees.

Two months' salary was advanced to Secontbe to speed him on his way. Goshen dismisses the Incident with the opinion that the quadruplets are the most incongruous assortment that housewives hereabouts ever saw. Individually, the babies are fine specimens, but, viewed collectively, it is hard for Goshen to believe the stork brought them in the same basket. There is a difference of several days, if not more, in their ages apparently. After inquiry Goshen announces that, aocording to the best information obtainable, the four babies were secured from Chicago charitable institutions.

Explains Stork's Arrival. The affair leaves Goshen with a sort of heartache. Citizens were proud when Secombe confided to them a week or so ago that his wife had given birth to quadruplets In Chicago. Goshen welcomed Mrs. Secombe and the babies on their arrival in the village with repressed enthusiasm.

because Secombe said he was married to his wife. formerly a widow. late last November. The stork. he explained, arrived ahead of schedule, being frightened by burglars who vailted the Chicago home where his wife ELS staying.

He later admitted he had been deposed from a pulpit in Oklahoma after a divorce from his first wife. Goshen never saw Mrs. Secombe until her recent arrival with the quadruplets and four other children of tender years. blessings of a former marriage. pastor Secombe explained.

Women who visited the parsonage came away shaking their heads in perplexity. They said the babies. two boys and two girls, looked unlike enough to have been the offspring of different parents, and obviously there was an unreconcilable difference in the ages of the smallest girl and the huskiest boy to make inquiries. The church committee talked earnestly wit Secombe. thus learning- about his Oklahoma divorce and other things over which the church committee deliberated long yesterday, and adjourned to request Pastor Secombe to depart swiftly from Goshen.

He end his family adopted the suggestion today. It is understood their destination is a little village near Springfield. 111 1 1 7111 mit I 1111 I' ill' I Arithmetic and questions of economic applied to the operation of street rail-wog yesterday became leading features of the detiberatiens of the representativeo of erecago's luevo traction employes and the beads of the oompanies.

At the ciese of the conferenoe It was apparent that both Piesident William r), Mahon of the street car Menil union and Presidents Mitten ad Roach of the two big tractee companies were more hopeful than ever that the negotiations along the line outlineet by Mr. Fisher will result In an amicable sateaeent of the diepute.

First Mitten Plan Dropped. The first draft of a proposed conciliatory peace plan submitted by President Mitten of the City Flailway failed to meet general approval. Dy reason of the long time required before the minimum and maximum wale! weuld be merged into one. the plan met tvith strenuous objection by the representatives of the employes. The plan provided for a period of seven years before the scale would be reached.

Mr. Fisher also believed this was too long, favoring a five year period. President Mahon dung to a three year term on the theory that three years of apprenticeship on the cars is euTicient to produce efficient trainmen. It was agreed finally that Pre! ident Mitten ohould prepare a set of new figures for presentation to a conference to be held in X. Fisher's office at 10:30 this morning.

Mr. Mitten promised to base his new figures on a et-, year period. President Mahon and heads of the local unions also promised to do some figuring on their side of the dispute. and around these figures the deliberations will Twelve at today's meeting. Smaller Committee a Gain.

Mr. Buckley, while refusing to make any dennite statement concerning the considerations at the conference, said the proposal of Mr. Fisher had met with earnest attention from all concerned and that a settlement might be made with some changes.

President Carter of the Calumet and South Chicago employes also indicated that the conference had smoothed the road to a settlement of the wage question. It was reported that the traction presidents gave the union men to understand that they would not haggle over the length of the time of the wage contract and would not object to the union rnen's desire to have the term expire at the end in the 'summer. The union men expressed a determination to object to any lung time contract. Preeldent Mahon.

Another reinforcement from outside the city of Chicago helps spell ruin for Madden and his organization, according to union men The outside assurance of support came from representatives of the Lake county council of building trades. which includes ivorkers in Gary, liarrmioncl. and West Hammond. Unless the Otis Elevator company comes to terms promises are made that strikes will be called on buildings on which its men are working in the three towns, representatives of the council said. Representatives of seven building trades unions and representatives of the four big contracting companies affected by the tieup of the work held a lengthy conference In the afternoon in an effort to reach an agreement by which some construction work might be continued.

Agents of the building trades council were asked to allow men to go back to work on the La Salle hotel until Monday morning, when President Baldwin is expected to arrive. when the Otis people might take up the Madden matter in earnest. Contractors' Plan Voted Down. The proposition was referred to a meeting of the council last night, where it was voted down The contractors' representatives who met the union men included Addison E. Wells of Wells Bros L.

Witherspoon of the George A. Fuller company, John Griffiths of John Griffiths Son, and A. Lanquist of the Lankittist Ills ley company. Unless the strike difficulties are settled soon other big buildings in the course of construction may be drawn into the fight. The new city ball and the Vendome building at Van Buren street and Michigan avenue and the new Northwestern depot are three on which construction work may be stopped if the trouble Continues.

It was like a bargain day rush yesterday on the top floor of the building at 117 Market etreet, where the city civil service examinations are held.

There was nearly a steady stream of women applicants for the position of bath attendants. It was the opening day of the medical examination and sixty women were passed on. The schools will require about seventy-five more attendants and ev0 women have applied for the jobs. So the women examiners, Drs. Rich and Sypple.

will have their hands full for several days to come. Then a second examination. a mental test, will have ta be taken. For three hours le the morning the examinations were held. Thin Women Stand Best Chance.

There were thin women and fat women. There were widows. as denoted by veils and banes of crape. and there were married women. The thin women stood the most chance.

The medical examination is to ascertain that tha appli- cants are free from skin disease and to test their freedom of muscular nowernent. Then there are the mental tests. but they are not difficult." Different motives actuated the applicants. ee shown in chance conversations. A plump woman and a thin.

It would mean so much to the children. We have a pretty hard time to get along since Charles died." A nd why shouldn't you get It? cheered the other.

Tis the thin ones like yourself that's wanted. And tie fair good pay. too. That's why I want it. My man is out of a job." The woman usher appeared and interrupted the conversation.

The building of a number of new school houses and the putting in of nearly IN) addl. tional bath rooms in the old school buildings exhausted the list of bath attendants passed In the last examinations.

The notice that additional attendants were needed and that examinations would be held this week brought many more applications than were expected. The mental examinations will be given next week.
