New York Longshoremen Strike Demands $2 Hour Overtime
The 7000 to 8000 member strike of longshoremen, checkers, and dock workers became effective this morning to press for higher wages and shorter hours. They seek $2 overtime and $1 base hourly pay, with checkers asking $38.50 weekly and dock workers a 25 percent raise from $35 weekly. Steamship owners say coastwise shipping could be tied up if all members walk out, but the national adjustment commission award until September 30, 1920, limits their ability to meet demands.
