Status of the Strike.
There Is no getting away from the
fact that there Is a very marked de
pression in the building trade. The
strikers pooh-pooh tho idea and say
that the business In that line Is pick

was seen by a Tiibune man yesterday

ing trade was In an nbnormully dull
state at present and that he considered
It very unlikely that any boom would
take place between now and next

say whether they Intended doing .so

The agent of the master plumbers" as
sociation, James B. Doyle, has le
turned to the city from Philadelphia.
His mission, Judging from appearances,
was only paitly successful as the num
ber of men Imported into the city, has
not been very large.
A notlcablo feature-at strike head
quarteis for the past two weeks has
been the small number of men to be
seen nround the rooms. Formerlv the
place would be ctowded with sttlkers,
some plajlng cards, some playing
dominoes, and all Intensely Interested
In the existing difficulty.
Now on the average only about .1
baker's dozen are seen sitting around.
The strlkeis explain this by salng that
a laige number of men have gone back
to work.
A prominent contractor said yester
day rhat the stilke will never he for
mally declared off but that the ciawl
