Building Trades Idle In Seattle Strike Eyed By 6000

Carpenters sought 10.00 per day up from 7.60, plasterers demanded 10.00 up from 9.00, and laborers asked for an extra dollar to reach 7.00. Some large operators kept paying current scales and continued work, while 60 to 60 members of the builders' association refused the new demands. Other builders may join if the strike lengthens.
