Industrial Chaos as Ship Strike Grips Nation
The Wage Stabilization Board deferred action on AFL seamen pay demands, triggering a six day maritime strike that halts overseas mail, slows exports and imports, and strains New York, New Orleans and San Francisco ports. Banks on railcar shortages, ships idle in Boston Harbor, and New Orleans refineries face shutdowns without cargo. Senator Radcliffe pressed Truman, urging Navy ship operation if needed. Army and Navy conduct limited loading to support government vessels.
