Attlee warns of dock strike threatening Britain’s economy
Prime Minister Attlee told the House of Commons that the wild cat dock strike in London risks crippling Britain during a critical period. About 14,000 idle dockers and 25,000 total dock workers dug in for a showdown, tying up over 1,100 ships and hampering exports and imports amid a growing dollar crisis. Troops fortified the dock area as 4,000 soldiers and sailors unloaded ships. 4,000 more dock workers joined 10,000 already on strike. An unofficial, Communist led committee announced a mass Trafalgar Square meeting in support. The empire finance ministers’ meeting in London seeks a plan to stabilize dollar-sterling trade and world conditions. The conference will be followed by meetings in Washington with Cripps, Abbott, and Snider.
