Plans Seizure of Harbor Vessels Amid Labor Strife
Army navy and United States Shipping Board officials reportedly plan government seizure of a harbor vessel fleet to restore New York harbor traffic. If seized, ships would run under union crews with an eight hour day per a wage pact with the railroad administration. The New York Boat Owners association contends their stance sparked the strike after workers rejected a National Labor Board award. Secretary Daniels directed Navy officials to bar naval tugs from assisting private barge towage for fueling private firms.
