Ship Strikers Reject U S Compromise Peace Talks Continue
Marine engineers in a nationwide shipping strike rejected a proposed wage cut of 16 percent at Cooper Union. Union chiefs Healey and Todd drafted a counterproposal and headed to Washington for a morning meeting with Secretary Davis, Admiral Benson, and shipping interests. Optimism rose that an adjustment could be reached, with talks exploring a possible 10 percent cut and retention of the eight hour day. Non union crews sail from New Orleans and government resources begin to backstop Shipping Board operations amid injunctions against union interference.
