[QUOTE="Mark Baber, post: 40788, member: 79063"] [i]The New York Times, 11 June 1911[/i] --- [b]OLYMPIC CREW WIN[/b] --- Get More Pay from White Star Line---Coal Porters’ Strike Extends --- SOUTHAMPTON, England, June 10---The White Star Line to-day yielded to the demands of the seamen and agreed to pay a crew for the Olympic the same rate of wages as that received by the crews of the Mauretania and Lusitania. It is hoped that this will obviate the threatened trouble and enable the Olympic to sail for New York as scheduled on Wednesday. The trouble on the Olympic began yesterday when in attempting to engage a crew the officials found the men united in a demand that their wages be increased to $30 a month. The strike of coal porters became more serious to-day. A number of outside laborers who had been brought here quit work, claiming that they had been induced to take the place of strikers through false pretenses. The idle men are appealing to the coal porters at other ports to join them in launching a general strike. The port is overcrowded with liners waiting for coal. -30- [/QUOTE]
