PESSDMlS'TlC
OUTLOOK IN
new YORK CITY
Three Strikes in Progress
and Three More Are
Probable.

New York, Dec. 13--Eew 4crkS in
dustrial horizon assumed a more pes
simistic outlook today. Three great
strikes that would involve more than
100, 900 men in the Metropolitan area
appeared against a background OF
three important labor disputes already
in progress. Rumblings OF wage dis
putes came from three quarters-the
anthracite miners. railroad ma1nte-
nance of way and. shop craftsmen n
the building trades.
OF these, the Threatened walkout in
the building trades which alone would
affect nearly 100000 men, was pointed
out as having serious possibilities.
Drastic wage cuts to be drafted to-
morrow, will be fought TO the utmost,
union leaders declared yesterday. A
similar attempt last Inmer though
on a much smaller scale, was met
with Immediate refusal by the men.
Railroad men stated their position
with regard to the proposal by unani.
mously voting to demand immediate
increases of about II per cent.
In the meantime, New York's milk
strike was still in progress. Police Of
icers were riding on delivery wagons
to protect the drivers. More than A.
900 employees Of the ''big five" pack
crs walked out yesterday in protest
against what they said was an effort
on the part. OF employers to destroy
the, principle OF collective bargaining
in the industry.
