Attlee seeks approval of strike action
In London the Labour government seeks Commons approval for emergency measures to curb a wildcat dock strike. By yesterday 3,077 dockers joined 13,296 out of 25,000, with 127 ships idle and 8 loading under crews. Army navy reinforcements arrive as the Dock Labor Board urges workers to report. The dispute centers on Canadian ships Beaver Brae and Argument tied to the Canadian Seamen's Union. The CSU says a 24 hour settlement could follow if owners sign last year’s terms.
