Foreign Crews on U S Ships Spark West Coast Strike
San Francisco reports the Sailors Union of the Pacific representing about 6 000 members launched a protest against foreign crews on Danish ships recently taken over by the government. Harry Lundeberg said a secret four meeting referendum will decide if the West Coast will tie up shipping. The Maritime Commission said US seamen are adequately employed on American flagged ships, but warned a shortage could threaten. About a dozen Danish vessels have been transferred to Panamanian registry to enter combat zones, and American crews are barred from such zones under the Neutrality Act.
