With anger mounting on construction sites throughout the country at the freezing of a 24d -~ 3d an hour increase, building workers are to stage a national one-day strike on November 7. The strike call has come from the rank and file London Building Workers' Joint Sites Committee under the slogan "Smash the Freeze". The pay increase, part of a three-year package deal, was due to operate for a million men from next month but under the Prices and Incomes Act it has been postponed until May 1967. Bonus payments have also been put off. Several of the major construction sitesin the London area have already announced their support for strike action, and Merseyside workers are making plans for the stoppage after yesterday's walkout by contracting electricians.
