A nationwide seamen strike kept more than a score of defense ships at anchor as AFL machinists at a West Coast bomber plant vote a strike. The Maritime Commission offered to sponsor Washington talks over war bonuses, while the New York Sea Farers Union urged President Roosevelt to study alleged anti labor actions. In San Diego, machinists pressed for a flat 10 cent an hour raise for non minimum-pay workers as Maj. R H Fleet failed to resolve the demand. Sanctioned by local Ma chinists leaders, potential walkouts threaten 23 000 workers if demands are unmet. In Wilkes-Barre coal fields one anthracite union voted to return to work despite protests over UMWA dues and assessments.
