Machinists at Frisco Reject Mediation Plan
An Associated Press report notes Harvey W. Brown of the American Federation of Labor International Association of Machinists said he would travel to San Francisco to urge striking shipyard machinists to accept President Roosevelt's mediation. The National Defense Mediation Board's recommendations, rejected by CIO and AFL machinists in San Francisco, were prepared for publication in Washington. A separate strike in McKeesport Pennsylvania involved about 175 workers demanding union recognition and higher pay, halting garbage pickup and street repairs. Mayor Lysle announced dismissals as the city prepared to discipline additional strikers. The Defense Mediation Board lacks enforcement power, though Roosevelt urged acceptance of its impartial recommendations. The AFL and CIO factions at the yards pressed for $1.15 per hour and double overtime. offers stood at $1.12 with time and a half. The strike has slowed a $500 million shipbuilding program, while a back-to-work movement by AFL workers has mostly returned operations to normal except machinists.
