"12,500 STEEL WORKERS OUT AT THREE PLANTS; WAR OUTPUT SUFFERS," Toronto Star. January 14, 1943. Page 1. ---- Loss Set at 170,200 Tons Monthly, Two-Thirds of Nation's Production ---- ASK WAGE BOOST ---- Three of Canada's basic steel producing plants today are tied up by strikes. A total of 12,500 men have quit work at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.; Sydney and Trenton, N.S., to enforce demands for wage increases.

Five thousand workers at Sydney, N.S. - on strike for the third day - were joined early today by 4,000 at Sault Ste. Marie and 3,500 at Trenton.

Strikes at Sydney and Sault Ste. Marie tied up two of the dominion's three basic steel producing plants. It was estimated by government figures the loss in production at the two plants would amount to; 170,212 tons a month, or two-thirds of the country's basic steel output.

Workers at the Steel Company of Canada at Hamilton have decided to defer strike action until the company management has been approached regarding negotiations with the United Steelworkers of America (C.I.O.).

Picket Lines Set Up The strike at the Sault began officially at 7 a.m. when members of the day shift didn't report. Picket lines were set up.

The strikers were not joined by 500 transportation department employees and machinists, members of American Federation of Labor unions. These entered the plant to work today and were not interfered with by pickets. An additional 500 men engaged on construction work were not direly affected by the strike, it was reported.

It was announced that 300 men had been left in the plant to do maintenance work. No effort was made to stop those who wished to continue their regular work in the plant, but as buses neared the picket lines, a union representative boarded each and read the following statement: "This bus after its next stop will go through a picket line - any working man going through that line to work is undermining the fight of his fellow-workers for decent living standards. Let your conscience be your guide."

Navio-tanque movido a metanol reforça frota sustentável da Algoma

Publicado em 29/04/2025 às 11:26

Saint John (Canadá), 28 de abril de 2025 — A Algoma Central Corporation acaba de incorporar à sua frota o Algoma East Coast, um moderno navio-tanque de 37 mil toneladas de porte bruto (DWT), projetado para operar com metanol como combustível. A embarcação chegou ao porto de Saint John, no Canadá, e já está integrada a um contrato de afretamento com a refinaria da Irving Oil. A informação foi divulgada pelo site especializado Offshore Energy.

Foi construído na Coreia do Sul e é preparado para o frio extremo

O Algoma East Coast foi construído no estaleiro Hyundai Mipo, na Coreia do Sul, e mede 184 metros de comprimento por 27,4 metros de largura. Ele recebeu a certificação Ice Class 1B, que o habilita a operar em ambientes marítimos com gelo, o que o torna ideal para a costa atlântica canadense.

Mais do que resistente, o navio-tanque é tecnologicamente avançado: está equipado para operar com energia elétrica fornecida por terra (shore power), reduzindo significativamente as emissões de carbono durante o tempo em porto. Também conta com melhorias nas capacidades de lastro, projetadas especialmente para otimizar sua performance na Baía de Fundy.

— ARTIGO CONTINUA ABAIXO —

A escolha do metanol como combustível principal é parte da estratégia da Algoma Central Corporation para reduzir suas emissões em 40% até 2030, com meta de neutralidade de carbono até 2050. Além do Algoma East Coast, a empresa também introduziu recentemente navios como o Algoma Endeavour e o Fure Vesborg, todos alinhados com os padrões mais modernos de sustentabilidade, segundo informou o portal da própria Irving Oil.

A bordo do Algoma East Coast, cada detalhe foi pensado para atender às exigências ambientais crescentes do transporte marítimo internacional. Isso inclui o uso de tecnologias de baixo consumo energético e a adaptação às novas regulamentações globais de emissões.

A nova embarcação e seu navio irmão, Algoma Acadian, que ainda será entregue, fazem parte de um investimento conjunto de CAD 127 milhões (cerca de USD 96 milhões). Ambos serão operados sob bandeira canadense e atuarão com exclusividade para a refinaria da Irving Oil em Saint John, realizando rotas frequentes entre portos do Canadá Atlântico e da costa leste dos Estados Unidos.

Essa parceria de longo prazo fortalece não apenas a presença da Irving Oil no fornecimento regional, como também posiciona a Algoma como uma das líderes na transição energética dentro do setor de navios-tanque.

Com a chegada do Algoma East Coast, a Algoma Central dá mais um passo em direção a uma frota mais limpa e moderna. A adoção do metanol e da energia de terra reforça a urgência do setor marítimo em reduzir seu impacto ambiental, sem abrir mão da eficiência logística.

A notícia, publicada originalmente pelo site Offshore Energy, foi complementada com dados da própria Irving Oil, reforçando a confiabilidade das informações e destacando o papel das empresas canadenses na transformação do transporte marítimo global.

"5,000 Steel Workers Strike," Windsor Star. January 12, 1943. Page 1 & 6. ---- Great Plant At Sydney Is Tied Up ---- Trouble Also Likely at Canadian Soo; Wage Dispute Is the Cause ---- By Canadian Press SYDNEY, NS, Jan. 12-Approxi mately 5,000 steel workers of the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation's huge plant here went on strike today in protest over the majority report of the Barlow commission.

The executive of the Sydney branch of the United Steel Workers of Am erica (C.IO.) issued a statement say ing the executive was "in full accord with the action.

NO MAINTENANCE C. M. Anson, general manager of the plant, said the situation was "serious" and "as far as we know no arrangements have been made for maintenance." Mr. Anson requested an immediate conference with union officials and it was expected the union executive and company representatives would meet later today.

One blast furnace was cast before some 2.600 workers on the day shift walked out. The union statement said that the 2,400 steel men on the night shift were also involved.

George Macneill, president of the Sydney union, said that he had been in touch with Alphonse Murray, fl- nancial secretary of the steel workers branch at Trenton, N.S., who had assured him of the "backing" of 3,000 steel workers at the plant operated by the same company there.

The union executive statement said that "the inevitable has happened, with resentment at fever heat in protest against what the men must consider an unjust and unnecessary positlon brought about by legality evasions of the majority report of the Barlow commission…."

MAJORITY REPORT (The majority report of the Barlow commission recommended that, with the exception of maintenance workers, basic wage rates at the Sydney plant and the Algoma Steel Corporation plant at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., remain unchanged. A minority report supported the steel workers' demands for a basic rate of 55 cents an hour.)

"We, the central executive, are in full accord with the necessity for the men taking such a drastic step," the statement continued.

"The men have already proven their willingness to increase the war effort; they have made many sacrifices, but they are firmly convinced that no country can give the principles of democracy to others without main- taining these essential principles a home.

A perusal of the minority re port as compared with the majority findings leaves little for the imagination as to legalistic evasion.

ALL SHIFTS "The walkout this morning will affect all shifts of the plant and special department committees are at work in union headquarters. maintaining . the complete order that has characterized the stoppage since the beginning."

Mr. Anson issued the following statement:

"The men just walked out. The company received no notification whatsoever from the union regarding the strike. The company has asked the union executive for an immediate conference. It is a serious situation - as far as we know no arrangements have been made for maintenance."

The union executive also conferred with Mayor Jack MacLean of Sydney and recommended that the stores operated by the Nova Scotia liquor commission in Sydney be closed during the strike.

AT THE SO0 SAULT STE MARIE, Ont. Jan. 12. -Mayor Jack McMeeken told Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Federal Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell in a telegram today that "unless you in- tervene to adopt the minority report (of the Barlow Steel Commission) before 7 a. m. Thursday, a most grave situation will arise in the steel industry here."

The mayor's telegram, sent with the unanimous approval of the city council, followed reports from Bydney. N. B.. that 3,000 workers on the day shift at the plant of the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation had gone or. strike in protest against the report which recommended against increases in the basic rate in the Canadian steel industry.

MEET TONIGHT Meanwhile employes of the Algoma Steel Corporation plant here - members of the United Steel Workers of America (C.I.O.) - prepared for a mass meeting tonight at which Union Secretary William Mahoney said action to be taken by the Sault union on the Barlow report would be decided. He had no other comment to make on the strike action taken at Sydney. Operations at the Algoma steel plant continued this morning.

The mayor's telegram, copies of which were sent to Ontario Labor Minister Peter Heenan and George Nixon. Liberal M.P. for Algoma West, as well as Mr. King and Mr. Mitchell, said:

"As head of the municipality of Sault Ste. Marie and with full approval of council, I wish to forcibly draw to your attention the serious situation that exists in this city as a result of the Barlow wage report and feel it is my duty to advise you that unless you intervene to adopt the minority report before 7 a.m. Thursday, a most grave situation will arise in the steel industry here. "I believe that, in the best Interests of not only the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie but of the Dominion, immediate action by your government in favor of the steel workers is of imperative importance."

A majority report of the steel commission - which was headed by F. H. Barlow of Toronto, then master of the Ontario Supreme Court and since elevated to the bench - recommended against increases in basic wage rates at the Algoma plant here and the Dosco plant at Sydney.

A minority report urged granting of the steel workers request for a basic rate of 55 cents and an hour plus full cost-of-living bonus in both plants. The present basic rate at Sydney is 4312 cents an hour and at the Sault 45 cents. A full cost-of-living bonus is paid at Sydney and a partial bonus is paid here.

Green Bay Western Action, Part Two

I recently scanned a few slides I made along this charming regional road, the Green Bay and Western. This railroad operated for nearly 100 years, from 1896 to 1993, until it was gobbled up by the Wisconsin Central. Looking today via Google Maps, it seems that most, if not nearly all, of the rails have been abandoned.

I had to ask for help to get locations on these shots—and received it from Dan Luedke, a conductor on the road, and Andy Laurent. The brick farm house is on the Ahnapee & Western between Casco and Rio Creek, Wisconsin; the train is eastbound headed toward Algoma. The second image here comes from Casco and is most likely the same train on its return.

This road seemed to really cotton to Alco locomotives, which is one reason rail enthusiasts were attracted to the regional carrier.
