MAY CALL STRIKE IN 30 TRADES TO AID CARPENTERS Bridgeport Situation Un- changed Men. Wait Hutch
 inson's Next Order. CONFAB WILL DECIDE
 SYMPATHY STRIKE Kane of Local Union Has No Word FroAl New
 York.

New York, Feb. 1.-The executive council of the building trades depart ment of the American Federation of Labor will meet here tomorrow to take action on the calling of strike of 30 crafts 1t represents in sympathy with the brotherhood of carpenters and joiners, which announced last night its members on Monday would resume their strike against the Building Trades Employers Associa- ton. Representatives of the car penters and employers association at a meeting. yesterday failed to agree on wage scale, and the former an- nounced that at the expiration of a truce lasting the remainder of this week the union would again walk out
 The carpenters demand a wage in- crease of one dollar a day. A sym pathetic strike of members of the basic trade" unions already has been called in sympathy with the carpen- ters.
 Not only are the prospects for a settlement of the carpenters strike very vague today, but according to re- ports from the conference In New York between the Master Builders and the National Brotherhood officials, the matter may become more serious.
 Carpenters in New York went back to work yesterday on some of the buildings for the members of the Master Builders and notices were printed in New York papers by the Brotherhood telling all men out on strike to go back to work today. Ow- ing to the fact that W. L. Hutcheson refused to accept any terms of agree ment except a wage scale of 36.50 per day for the carpenters, all negotiations are now at 8 standstil.
 Local carpenters did not go back to work. As the matter stands today, the proba ability of the strike being renewed in New York is generally believed, and in the event ofithe consent of the American Federation of Labor whose leaders have been asked to review the facts, the brotherhood leaders plan a general strike of the thirty crafts of the building trades.
 Martin Kane, business agent of the local Brotherhood of Carpenters, said this morning that he had received no official notification of what had taken place at the conference in New York, but according to unofficial reports that there was no prospect of work being renewed by the carpenters here.
