Maritime strikes cripple Pacific coast shipping and coastwide
Seamen across the Pacific Gulf and Atlantic coasts walked off the job prompting 150 ships to idle in west coast ports. New York Seamen's Union voted a sit down strike while Houston and Port Arthur workers quit. Federal officials debated government intervention as chaos spread through hiring halls wages and hours. San Francisco faced warehouse strikes as police prepared to protect public interests.

Trade Balance Unfavorable for Nine Months
Exports of manufactured goods and raw materials exceeded imports in September by over four million dollars, but the prior three months drove nine month totals to a deficit of 33,136,000, contrasting with a 66,496,000 surplus in 1935. Secretary Roper said heavy exports of raw cotton tobacco and cars could rebalance trade. He noted government does not compete in selling goods and stressed a year end favorable balance is possible after further study. Census estimates put U.S. population at 128,429,000 as of July 1 1936, up 908,000 since 1935.
