U.S. SHIP YARD WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE
(Rec. 10 a.m.X NEW YORK, June 26. Repair and construction work on 73 major vessels was halted to-day when more, than 40,000 C. 1.0. ship yard workers in 10 East Coast yards struck for higher wages
It was the first union-approved walkout since the "passage of the new labour-law. The strikers are the vanguard. of 150,000 ship yards workers who are scheduled to strike on July 1, when tlie current contracts expire. Union leaders have stated that they are willing to be the first to test the powers of the new labour law. It is unlikely that the strike could be regarded as a violation of this legislation unless it delayed ship repair construction to a point where it could be called a national emergency.
