New York, April 5.—A committee from a half dozen welfare organiza tions, with the secretary of the Al lied Duilding Trades to represent union labor, has undertaken the or ganization here of a permanent so ciety, analagous to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Society for the Prevention of Vice, to prevent infraction of the building laws and the repetition of such disasters as the Triangle Waist company fire. The proposed society, according to a preliminary announcement, will deal with prevention as well as the punishment of breaches of the law. The plan, as thus far developed, is to have a corps of inspectors con stantly employed in looking into con ditions in existing factories and a law department especially charged with testing the existing laws and if need be, of offering new laws for the pur pose of centralizing and fixing the re sponsibility of public officials. The society is no! intended to supplant any existing bureau or official, but to act as a volunteer auxiliary, just as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for example, helps the police and is considered a necessary adjunct to tiie police force in its special field. The law depart ment, if need be, will take criminal action against the public official found neglecting bis duty ” MACHINISTS PLAN A STRIKE The Greatest Contest for an Eight Hour Day in Years Will Begin May 1.

Five thousand New York machin ists assembled here and made thor ough preliminary arrangements. As sessments were arranged to help fi nance the strike and committees were appointed.
