[QUOTE="Mark Baber, post: 40790, member: 79063"] General strike-related dispatches from London, Antwerp, Amsterdam and New York were also reported under this headline. None of those dispatches relate directly to Olympic, so they are not included here. [i]The New York Times, 14 June 1911[/i] [b]STRIKE OF SEAMEN ORDERED FOR TO-DAY[/b] --- Has Already Begun at Antwerp---English Owners Appear Unconcerned --- MAY ARREST SAILORS HERE --- British Subjects Refusing to Go on Their Vessels Liable to Deportation and Jail at Home --- SOUTHAMPTON, June 13---The long-threatened strike of the International Seamen's Union has been definitely fixed to begin to-morrow. The striking coal porters to-day rejected the employers' proffered compromise and demand an immediate increase in wages. The coaling of the American Line steamer St. Paul, which should have sailed last Saturday, is proceeding slowly. The new Olympic of the White Star Line, which is scheduled to sail to-morrow, is coaling with imported labor. -30- [/QUOTE]
