France Seamen Strike Threatens Nationwide Disruption
Paris June 3 The government takes no step yet to end the great seamen strike that halts French commerce. Minister Thompson urges strikers to come to their senses while offering no half measures. Sailors longshoremen engineers and fishermen demand higher naval reserve pensions and blame governments since Louis XIV for funds borrowed from sea men. The minster says increasing pensions to 120 and 360 for men and officers is impossible under current treasury limits.

Federation Fires Brewery Workers Union Charter Revoked

The United Brewery Workmen of America executive board in Cincinnati defended their position, arguing that similar unions in mines and docks maintain jurisdiction and that the action targets brewery workers as lawful discrimination against their rights.
