Harbor workers union leaders led by William A. Maher announce plans for a national strike of more than 6,100,000 organized laborers to defend the eight hour day as railroads and other employers in New York harbor are perceived ready to lengthen shifts. The drive would involve 4,000,000 AFL members and 2,000,000 independent unions, with initial steps by a committee of local leaders and talks of coordinating ferries and floating equipment strikes. Ferries continue running as leaders warn of a broader campaign to curb the eight hour day.
