Navy and labor clash over shipyard cuts under treaty
In Iton on February 16 the Establishment government workers and Navy met to plan redistribution of positions under the International Amatitation Agreement. Samuel Gompers and Mary Denby pressed for the scrapping of ships to be handled by navy yards, with a capital ship project to replace the North David Delaware after Post Jutland. Gompers urged full support for the conference goals while Denby warned against abrupt yard reductions and 10,000 Navy Yard workers facing discharge, calling for immediate, orderly modernization measures.
