The Industry hardest hit by to-day's

In retaliation. all workers, even those

OF 81 day. so did 5000 carpen-
ters, 1000 metal workers and about
1000 marine engineers and hrcmen.
Two thousand bakers were ordered to
strike, but a settlement at = o'clock
this morning caused the decree to be
cancelled.
The strike is first and foremost FOR

cludcd demands for higher wages, II
only by n shorter working day. and
better working conditions--cleancr.
lighter and safer shops.
The 5000 striking carpenters are

working under the acceptance by
their employers Of a new scale Of
wages ranging from $3.50 for outside
work in Manhattan to $3.50 for out
side work in Richmond and shop
work In all boroughs.
At noon Jacob Hennefeld, general
secretary OF the local painters or
ganization. said that twenty-five Of
the largest employers had accepted
the demands Of the men and the
smaller contractors were awaiting
their turn in considerable numbers.

ton OF loyalty To the 10000 locked out

The real strike will not begin until
Wednesday.
Ben Schlesinger, President OF the
