Daughters of striking painters of the Brotherhood of Painters, Paperhangers and Decorators District Council No. 9, will stage a demonstration on Park avenue today. They will march from Ninety-sixth street to Fiftieth street. Several hundred girls are expected to demonstrate.
Meanwhile, it was announced by union spokesmen yesterday that the union will encourage independent bosses to assume the work usually done by the Association of Master Painters and Decorators, the employers group, if the latter body does not attempt to settle the strike immediately.
The painters are striking for nine dollars for a seven-hour day. The association is offering eight dollars for an eight-hour day. The employers will meet Thursday evening at their headquarters, 2 Park avenue, to reconsider the suggestion of Ben Golden, executive secretary of the Regional Labor Board, to effect a settlement.
