Allied unions plan nationwide ship strike threat
At New York meetings three marine unions reject a 15 percent wage cut until working conditions change. They vow to resume only on vessels offering prior wages and hours, accusing owners and the shipping board of seeking a 12 hour day without overtime pay. Estimated 20,000 seamen and 10,000 oilers and firemen may quit within 24 hours, risking a general tie up in major Atlantic and Pacific ports.
