Davis Drops Mediation in Ship Strike
Washington May 9 Conferences by Davis with all parties in the wage dispute affecting marine shipping were discontinued after Chairman Benson reiterated his demand for a 15 percent wage reduction. Representatives of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association said they would leave Washington to attend to other matters, and Davis said he arranged further conferences. Benson said he would press the 15 percent cut and implement a bonus plan tied to efficiency regardless of whether wage concessions are reached. Sailings were nearly normal as more officers and men volunteered to return to work.
