Protests Filed Over Bath School Plan Changes
Bath Board of Education pushes a trial program arguing city funds mandate cuts and a reorganization. Parents from across Bath protest school closures and part time schedules, urging to keep Washington Street and address travel and safety concerns.
Workmen Answer Statement From Plant Officials
A Bath Iron Works machinists committee led by William Shaughnessy and others issued a reply to coverage of their Saturday walkout. They defend the strike as not aimed at the government, cite wage cuts for the Tron Works to build five lightships, and argue Labor Board rulings blocked contracting work with lower-wage shops. The stoppage followed the discharge of a man who refused locomotive material work, and the group says it was prompted by that action and not government business.
