Abandons Effort to Operate Ships Amid Strike Impasse
New York, July 16. The United States Shipping Board halted any attempt to operate ships under its control until a settlement is reached with striking sea men, firemen, and engineers after futile talks with the American Steamship Association and union leaders. Freight congestion grows as about 400 vessels are tied up. Future talks in Washington aim to outline acceptable conditions, with federal officers to meet Marine Engineers' Union president William S. Brown, who says a settlement is likely since most demands are met.
