WHALING STRIKE
BRITISH SEAMEN JOIN BLOCKADE OF FLOATING FACTORIES Received Aug. 26, 11.20 p.m. 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 the Norwegian strikers deciding to support them. Four tugs have arrived at Sande Fjord to tow the two Unilver floating factories Southern Princess and Southern Empress across the North Sea, but the strikers are reported to have kidnapped the mate of the Southern Princess and the blockade of the whaling fleet appears complete. The seamen’s union has over a hundred motor launches ready to carry pickets to any ship whore strike-breaking is attempted.
