WANT. NATIONAL STRIKE. Officers of Building Trades Council Lay Plans. Building trades workmen in every city in the United States where there is a branch of the National Building Trades council, will probably be asked to cease work on buildings where the contracts are held by Chicago builders, until the labor troubles in that city are settled. This will be done if the plan decided on at a conference between llnward Carroll, president of the national na-tional organization, aud James Harvey, of Milwaukee, a member of the national executive board, meets the approval of H. W. Steinbiss, national secretary, and other members of the general executive ex-ecutive board, who were asked by telegraph tele-graph to come at once to Chicago to attend a meeting.
