Wilson Delays Navy Action in Strike London
Prime Minister Harold Wilson postponed emergency action in Britain’s first merchant marine strike in five years amid union threats to general strike if Royal Navy ships are used to clear clogged ports. Scottish union leader Roy Arnold denounced the plan as a blow against the strike as ships were tied to supply Scotland’s islands. Wilson, already restricting meat exports and warning profiteers, hesitates to declare a state of emergency.
