NIT DRAFT OF MEASURE TO

| Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York. Sept. 27-With the an.
nouncement by labor leaders that ap-
proximately 250.00O union workers in
various trades would quit their places
today in aid OF the striking carmen
it was believed that the effort to tie
up virtually all industries in Greater
| New York has reached an acute
stage.
The union officials declared that an
additional 100000 workers would
strike on Thursday and another 1OO,-
600 on Friday. making total of 45O.-
600 out by the end of the week.
1t was asserted that 6,OOO brewery
| workers, 115,000 employees in the
building trades and 25O,00O members
| of the united Hebrew trades were in
| favor of sympathetic strike.
Mayor Mitchell summoned the labor
leaders before him as soon as he
heard of their plans. He said he de-
| sired to be informed directly as to
what might be expected. The union
officials, he announced, told him they
expected 100000 workers to strike "as
a starter"
After a meeting of the joint labor
conference committee, strikers were
supplied with pamphlets for distribu-
ton throughout the city. in which at
tacks were made on the so-called
Morgan and Rockefeller interests.
Members of the state Legislature
from this city who called on Governor
Whitman urged him to convene the
senate and assembly in an extraor-
dinary session to deal with the strike
situation and submitted a draft of
proposed arbitration act.
The governor, altho opposed to call
ing the Legislature together at this
time, studied the proposed law care
fully and said he believed there was
room" for 1t on the statute books.
The act would provide, fine of
$4,000 and revocation of the license
of corporation that breaks an agree
ment to arbitrate, and fine against
the union breaking such agreement,
where the public interest is affected
or likely to be affected.
