STRIKE BY WHALERS
DISPUTE IN NORWAY BRITISH SEAMEN JOIN LONDON, Aug. 26. The Daily Telegraph's Oslo correspondent says that the whaling strike has taken a serious turn owing to 120 British seamen, sent to replace Norwegian strikers, deciding to support them. Four tugs arrived at Sandefjord having in tow two Unilever floating factories, the Southern Princess and the South Empress. While going across the North Sea the strikers are reported to have kidnapped the mate of the Southern Princess. The blockade of the whaling fleet appears complete. The Seamen's Union has over 100 motor launches ready to carry pickets to any ship where strike breaking is attempted.
