Knox Rebukes Cable Company Strikers in Bayonne
Secretary of the Navy Knox condemned workers at the General Cable Company plant in Bayonne New Jersey for striking last week calling the action a dangerous threat to national effort during a critical emergency. He said the Navy seizure of the plant must not be seen as endorsing the strikers and noted the action was not union authorized. Knox sent a telegram to strike leader Michael Petrakian replying to his pledge to double efforts despite production losses from the dispute.
