Back to Work Plan Refused by Strikers
AFL machinists on strike at 11 San Francisco bay shipyards rejected a plea from their president Harvey W. Brown to return to work and mediate with management. Brown spoke to hundreds at a four hour meeting that ended after midnight. Officials declined to reveal whether a strike-ending vote was taken. The yards hold about $500 million in defense contracts. The master stabilization contract sets $1.12 an hour for skilled workers with overtime rules and holiday pay, plus shift premiums. Bethlehem was not part of the agreement, and the defense mediation board urged Bethlehem to join.
