Draft of Society of Nations plan near completion in session
New York reports a two thirds finished draft of a project for a Society of Nations as the session proceeds. A sympathetic strike is set to begin Monday morning by stackers in building trades across cities to press for higher wages, with a lockout declared by the Building Trades Employers' Association. The strike affects bricklayers and hoisting engineers in New Haven Boston Washington and other cities, and government and private contracts held by association members may be interrupted. President Hutchinson of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners says pay gains are demanded, while Samuel J. Townley of the employers' association says a committee will discuss grievances only after workers return. Hutchinson warns workers may stay out until a dollar a day rise is granted.
