Navy expansion plans halted by Carderock strike
A strike at Carderock Maryland halts conversion of a 3.5 million model testing plant used for Navy fleet expansion. Turner Construction Company said about 300 workers are disputing the relocation of large sections for a building nearly 1,200 feet long with four basins. Tests of warship models were due to move from Washington Navy Yard. Completion was hoped three months early before the August 1939 contract date.
