CARPENTERS ON STRIKE; MASONS
 JOIN WITH THEM
Notice of Cut in Their Wages-Men Refuse
 to Take Jobs

What contractors called a Strike" and union carpenters and masons described as a lockout" began here this morning, with an undetermined number of union workers refusing to begin work this morning when they charged that they were notified of sharp re- duction in Wages. Strong state- ments were made by union leaders early this afternoon, in which they hurled charges of "chiseling" and declared that members of the car- penters' and masons' unions would not work unless they received wages of $1 and $1.20 per hour respectively.
 Contractors stated that regular operations on all contracts and projects was going on just the same and would continue. Thomas Quinn, business agent for the carpenters union, alleged that carpenters going to work this morning had been informed that wages were cut from $1 to 75 cents an hour, and James Mccarthy bus ines agent for the masons, declar- ed that masons had been told their pay was being cut from $1.20 to $1 an hour.
 The two union leaders declared that they had been refused when they proposed conferences with the Associated General Contractars, while the contractors countere6 with the claim that they had never been formally asked for confer ence in which an attempt would be made to iron out difference be- tween employers and employees.

Colt Trouble ~ Hartford MayBecon1e Ger. raL Strike

Hartford, Conn, April 22-(UP) A union strategy board which
 has been directing the two-months
 old strike at the Colt Patent Fire Arms Co. today prepared plans for a sympathetic movement embrac- ing every industrial plant in the
 city and threatening to extend countrywide.
 Chairman Francis x. Moore de- c1ared the move aimed at the Manufacturers association of Hartford county which he accused of "collusion" in interceding in the
 strike at the Colt plant and at the Capewell Horse Nail Co. and Whitlock Coll Co.
 Thomas F. Burns. Springfield Mass, American Federation of 1.a- bor organizer. warned that "vio-- lence might follow on the heels or | Q general strike" and "employes entering the plants at which strikes have been called will do so at the
 risk of their safety"
 Statement By Moore A statement by Moore was read at a mass meeting of strikers sun day. "The evident collusion ana identical strategy and tactics or all three employers have convinced the workers that the Manufacturers association influence and policies make impossible peaceful relation ship between workers and manage

ment," the statement read. "The contemplated strike action will fol- low a poll of all local unions af- filiated with the Hartford Central Labor Union. A mass meeting of all workers in Hartford county will be called In the near future."
 The strike at the Colt plant was called because of the reported re- fusal of the company to recognize the shop council as the exclusive bargaining agency of employees.
 Labor Board Charges The national labor relations board charged the company with viola ton of Section "A of the national recovery act and revoked the com- pany's Blue Eagle. The compar- atively few employees who re- mained at work have been shel- tered and fed at the plant.
 During the past few weeks the homes of several workers were stoned. Meanwhile picket lines were maintained at the plant.
 P. w. Chapel of the U. s. de- pertinent of labor was expected here today to confer with union organizers and company officials. Francis P. Fenton. New England organizer of the A. F. of L., said he intended soon to confer with National President William Green at Washington relative to the Colt situation.

Alfred E. Smith May Be Run For President
Eastern Bankers and Brokerage Houses May Try to Nominate Him Against ROOsevelt-Wall Street
 Has Many Dislikes for the President
BY LYLE c. WILSON Tinted Press Stan COrresDOnden


 Washington, April 22-Word has reached the capital that some of the eastern banking and brokerage fraternity would like to see Alfred E. Smith oppose Franklin D. Rooe- evelt for president next year.
 It probably would make no diff ference to anti-Roosevelt financiers whether Smith. stopped the New Deal in the democratic national convention or in the November election. Wall Street has many counts against the administration. Among these are:
 Wall Street Complaints
 i. Substitution of expensive work relief for the cheap dole. developed so far and projected. 3. The Roosevelt effort to abol- fish publis, Mtllity holding conpafiies and the possibility that 1t may lead finally to compromise tax on util. ity holding company income. That in turn, might lead to special taxa ton of all holding company in- come.
 4. The Eccles bill to create a central or political bank on the foundation of the fe@eral reserve system. That would take from pri- vate banks control of credit in this country.
 Not Likely Say Politicians
 Practical politicians do not con- sider the Smith-for- r-president idea feasible nor even remotedly likely. A re-alignment of political parties such as a Roosevelt-Smithc contest would imply is more probably in 194O than in 1886.
 Formation of an anti-Roosevelt coalition under leadership of a fa- nous democrat does not fit into the plans of republican leaders. A group of midwesterners is organiz-
