IUMSW Strike
Hits Shipyords

NEW YORK July 2 (LPA)-
A strike of more than 10000
members of the Industrial Union
of Marine & Shipbuilding Work
ers-CIO closed down 10 eastern
shipyards, nine of them owned
by Bethlehem Steel, last week.
An additional 5000 at Federal
Drydock, Kearny, N. j., and
Sullivan Drydock, Brooklyn,
N. Y. were expected to join the
Walkout this week.
IUMSW leaders declared that
the dispute practically amount
ed to lockout, that shipyard
owners had virtually asked to
incorporate sections of the Taft
Hartley law into new contracts
and proposed a 40c-an-hour
wage cut. In addition the union
was asked to sanction speed-up
systems, abandon any control
over piecework and incentive
systems and exclude foremen
from bargaining rights.
Expectations were that unless
settlement formula is reached
this week the strike will spread
throughout all except Navy
yards on the east and gulf
costs, affecting more than 100,-
600 workers.
