PLAN NATION WIDE STRIKE
STRUGGLE FOR ElGHT-HOuR DAY WOULD INVOLVE 100000 MEN. May Set as Date for Beginning of Contest to Determine Hours
 of Labor.

New York, April "A May day strike, the greatest fight for the eight. hour day in years. is, the plan of the union machinists here. The strike is expected to take in all union machin ists throughout the United States. No- tice, however. will be given to em- ployers. and if agreements are made before the date set the leaders say the strike may be averted.
 Five thousand New York machinists have assembled here and made thor ough preliminary arrangements. As easements were arranged to help finance the strike and committees were appointed. A general strike of the international association would be felt in every manufacturing section of the country and would involve more than 100000 men.
