ANTWERP DOCK STRIKE
BRITISH WORKERS SUPPORTED ANTWERP, June 28. Antwerp’s 17,000 dockers announced on their second day of an unofficial walk-out today that they are supporting the British dock strike. The strike committee in Antwerp said that the Rotterdam and Amsterdam dockers are backing them. They referred to their “British comrades.’’ More than 100 ships are held up. The dockers, who have been urged to return to work by both the Socialist and Catholic trade unions, are claiming an increase of 40 francs (about 5s 9d) a day, and the abolition of the two working categories into which they are divided.
