Newscopy: "William L. McFetridge, A. F. L. Building Service Employes Union international president, conferred here today with local union officials on strategy for the theater janitors' strike. Mr. McFetridge, who arrived yesterday from Chicago after a stop-over in Los Angeles, will meet with representatives of the union's 35 Northern California locals Friday morning.

The janitors are seeking a 10 percent pay raise..."
