Protection Sought as Strikes Tie Up Port Ships
New York police protection was sought for striking maritime pickets while tensions persisted at blockaded ports. Seamen's Defense chair Joseph Curran warned that without protection the waterfront could see self defense actions. Union leaders reported 178 ships strike-bound on the Pacific coast and Hawaii, with 247 more tied up on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Other actions included Thanksgiving dinners offered to striking sailors in Philadelphia and a Seattle cargo storehouse plan awaiting cargo handling decisions. In San Pedro, federal efforts to unload a banana cargo faced an unyielding marshal and a looming vote on whether to strike, a move observers say could halt ship repairs.
