CRITICAL CONFERENCES
’ LABOUR IN AMERICA SHIPPING HOLD-UP PROBABLE SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29. (Received Aug. 29, at 10.30 p.m.) This week will probably decide whether San Francisco shipping is to be held up on the same scale as in 1936. A dozen critical labour conferences are scheduled, and Mr Harry Bridges has taken charge of the workers’ fight. The situation is made more serious by growing fears of a break between the longshoremen and the ship owners. The Pacific Maritime Federation, formed by Mr Briwges to organise a united front against the shipowners, decares that the shipowners are attempting to split the federation by delaying the renewal of contracts.
