SHIP STRIKE IS
IN FOURTH WEEK
SAN FRANCISCO.--(U.P.)-- Pacific coast industry and business,
stagnated by labor troubles, today
demanded immedaite settlement of
the western maritime strike as it
entered the fourth week without
prospect of conciliation.
As Alaskan residents looked tor-
ward to a turkeyless Thanksgiving, and Hawaiian housewives
viewed with alarm their fast-depleting larders, powerful groups
in San Francisco and other affected cities protested the $7,000,000
daily loss and demanded that ur
ions and shipowners "get together
and break their deadlock.
A series of telegraphic exhorts
tions   streamed   toward   Washing
ton Friday night apealing to Pres
dent Roosevelt and- the  labor de-1
partment to end the strike.
The shipping merchants associs
tion of San Francisco banded tc
gether 100 leading business firm
and asked them to appeal to the
government on the grounds San
Francisco was sustaining a loss of
$3,000,000 each 24 hours. The California farm bureau federation, representing 21,500 agriculturalists,
the San Francisco purchasing
agents association and the San
Francisco apartment owners association issued vigorous statements
calling for peace.
