Government May Seize More Strike Bound Vessels
New York freighters of the Alcon fleet were placed under federal requisition as a seamen owners dispute threatened a general strike. Fourteen ships from six companies were affected, including the Alcoa Trafer, Alcoa Banner, and Alcoa Senut. The Seafarers International Union demanded war zone travel bonuses, with a proposed 540 monthly bonus for West Indies routes. other crews sought 4 dollar daily bonuses for Canadian waters. The Maritime Commission set a 48 hour deadline to decide on operation methods for seized ships, while arbitration talks failed. A Pacific coast dispute with the Sailors Union of the Pacific prompted similar calls for federal mediation.
