General Building Strike Feared.

San Francisco, Cal., March 10.—Eight hundred painters went out on strike Monday. They want an increase of 50 cents a day, making their wages $3 instead of $2.50. A general strike among the building trades is feared, as the plasterers, plumbers and carpenters are said to be in sympathy with the painters.
