Nationwide strikes halt Kearny yards and Detroit transit
Unyielding deadlocks prolong two major strikes in New Jersey and Michigan. At Kearny the Federal Shipbuilding yard idled 18 000 workers as negotiations with CIO leader John Green and company president L H Korndorff after meeting with President Roosevelt failed to yield a deal. Officials frame the conflict over a maintenance of membership clause with Korndorff calling the union demand a closed shop. Roosevelt suggested government takeover only if needed. Detroit transit workers remain idle as talks stall, the piece notes, with future action anticipated.
