N. Y. LONGSHORE
STRIKERS REFUSE
eOV'T DEMAND
*
Special to the Nome Nugget by The Associated i’ressv
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The committee engaged in directing the long
shoremen's strike here has flatly refused the ultimatum of the War Depart
ment demanding that they handle the cargo of four freighters and six passen
ger’ships now enroute to New York from various ports. The committee has
returned an answer to the department declaring that the longshoremen will
handle the ships only on consideration of their demands being accepted by
the companies and not even the department claim or urgent necessity will
'cause the strikers to recede from their declaration to handle no more vessels
until the strike is settled.
The rejection of the War Department demand is expected to result in
the government exerting pressure to bring about a compromise to avoid a long
shipping tieup.
The strike- has virtually tied up all harbor activity here and fears are
expressed that the strike may extend to all Atlantic ports unless an early
settlement is reached.
The strikers are demanding an increase of pay which will raise the
present scale from'65 cents to $1.00 an hour.
