OTTAWA. June 5.—(4*>—Canadian
labor department officials scheduled |
separate sessions with shipowners and
Canadian Seamen's union represents- .
tives Wednesday in an effort to bring
the two sides together for discussions
I aimed at settling a shipping strike
now in its 11th day.
The Weeland Ship canal wax blocked
briefly Tuesday for the second time
since the strike began when five union
members convinced 14 non-union crew
members of the collier Osler that they
should leave the vessel stranded in
a lock.
The blocking of the canal followed
a fight between 100 strikers and police man, mouth injured,
at Humberstone in an attempt to pre- ----- ~—
vent the placing of non-union seamen
aboard three strikebound vessels.
In Vancouver James Thompson,
vice-president of the Canadian Sea-
men's union, told the AFL labor coun-
cil here Tuesday night there is a dan- .
ger the Great Lakes seamen’s strike |
may spread to the west coast. [
Thompson said that unless the gov-
ernment takes some action to stop
strike-breaking activities, the strike is
likely to spread to both the Pacific
and the Atlantic coasts.
