Weary Rags and Dusty Wayside Lead Tramp Strike Tale
Uncle Ashdod recalls a chaotic 1913 Atlantic voyage where a crew of tramp seamen on a wharf strike. Weary Rags, led by a self appointed delegate, pushes a long disruption culminating in a shipboard work stoppage and eventual drift at sea. The Amalgamated Union of Lonfers is described, with labor tension and efforts to continue work despite the stoppage.
