[QUOTE="Mark Baber, post: 40789, member: 79063"] 1. Sorry this is late; I overlooked it until tonight. 2. 12 June 1911 was the "Monday" referred to in the article. [i]The New York Times, 12 June 1911[/i] [b]STRIKE HOLDS UP ST. PAUL[/b] --- Liner May Sail on Tuesday---Olympic in Trouble with Deckhands --- SOUTHAMPTON, June 11---Owing to the strike of the coal carriers the officials of the American Line are having difficulties with reference to the sailing of the steamer St. Paul. It was expected that the St. Paul, which was scheduled to sail for New York on Saturday, would be able to start on her voyage by way of Cherbourg on Monday. There has been another postponement, however, and the officials hope now that she will be able to sail on Tuesday. It is doubtful whether the White Star liner Olympic will be able to sail from here on Wednesday, as expected, because the demands of the deckhands, which are that they should receive the same rate of wages as that paid on the Mauretania and Lusitania, have not yet been satisfied. There probably will be some trouble also in provisioning the vessel. -30- [/QUOTE]
