Shipbuilding Program Halted by Workers Strike
A large walkout by shipyard workers in Baltimore halts Navy and merchant ship construction. Six hundred diversely skilled workers quit, demanding $10.50 daily for chippers and dunkers and $24 daily for riveting, with pay scales cited as higher than current wartime rates. Officials blame the strike on demand for higher wages for special work, while unions promise cooperation to resume production. The Baltimore yard faces government-mandated limits on workers at other ships during the dispute.
