Cordell Hull and the Buenos Aires peace delegation faced delays in New York Harbor, while eastern strikers adopted a sit down tactic. The West Coast disruption spans from San Francisco to major ports, with 37 000 unionists cited by leaders and disputed by employers.

Violent incidents surfaced in Baltimore waterfront protests. The Munson liner American Legion, carrying Hull and other diplomats, failed to depart due to understaffing aboard.
