Tug Walkout Hits at N. Y. Food Supply
Four thousand packinghouse workers walked out of the Wilson and company plant in Chicago after union talks but returned to work. A 3,500 AFL tug boat strike in New York harbor began Monday, backed by 35,000 ILA longshoremen, threatening fuel and food flow. ILA would refuse to load ships operated by strikers. Government mediators sought settlement as the potential seizure of tugboats loomed. Wage raises sought by workers include a 40 hour week, higher hourly rates, while offers included a 10 cent raise for all. The wider labor turmoil adds to national idle counts, with steel, GM, and electrical strikes contributing. In related action, brass plants in Waterbury and Buffalo faced walkouts, and 90,000 St Louis public school pupils could be sent home due to Custodians strike.
