By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 21.-Heavy rain,
which tied up virtually all outside con-
struction work. made it impossible for
labor leaders to determine how many
of the 1000 union bricklayers ordered
on strike to enforce a demand for $12
day were absent from work today in
response to the strike order.
Preparations were continued for max
ing the strike fully effective, although
building employers were reported to
have offered a $40 scale with bonuses
which would amount to nearly $12 a
day.
A strike of all union bricklayers
would halt work on $200. ZOO, 900 of con-
struction which has reached a point
where the brick men are the key to
further progress, contractors report.
One of the most important jobs is the
federal reserve bank, nearing compile

layers stopped all work today.
