Skippers Union Strike Fails To Hit Local Ports
The AFL Masters Mates and Pilots Union began a partial tie up of West Coast shipping but no local effect was observed. Port agent Capt. R E Durkin reported vessels here kept masters on duty and no sign‑offs occurred yet. The only potentially affected ship, the Hawaiian Farmer, carried military cargo and did not sign on. The union warned 75 PMA vessels on the West Coast face possible refusal to sign on, potentially tying up around 90 percent of coast shipping. Captain C F May, vice president, said the injunction changes nothing.
