Dock Workers
Strike In Hawaii

Hawaii tightened its belt today for
another ordeal. CIO dock workers
struck at midnight Saturday and
only a trickle of the vast tonnage
of food and other commodities the
Territory needs is expected to
reach the islands.
Nor can raw sugar and pineap
ple, the islands’ principal exports,
flow to the mainland.
Food imports must come by air,
at increased cost.
The CIO international long
shoremen’s and warehousemen’s
union called its current strike by
2,000 dock workers in a fight lor
32 cents an hour pay raise.
Employers offered 8 cents in
stead of 32, then raised it to 12,
but the union said “No.”
