Strikes Delay Work On National Defense Programs
AFL and CIO labor actions slow defense construction across several centers. At Wright Field Ohio workers returned after the War Department halted an electrical project amid a CIO closed shop dispute with Penner Construction Co. A looming truck drivers walkout threatened to extend disruption. At Elizabeth New Jersey CIO members strike over bargaining agency as navy orders total 74 323. In San Diego a settlement ended a shipyard stoppage that delayed five boats and left 160 workers idle. Military actions abroad report daylight raids on England and air battles as Derna falls and Greek advances near Valona strain Axis positions.
