Representatives from the war and navy departments resumed talks to avert a strike by about 400000 carpenters over nonunion hires on army and navy cantonments in New York. An agreement allowed union hours and wages to govern government contracts, while the broader strike threat within the Carpenters' Brotherhood faced potential escalation. A London labor party conference also voted to send delegates to the Stockholm talks.
