New York, Nov, 21, One hundred and fifty Danish crew members of three Standard Oil tankers registered under the Panama flag walked off their ships yesterday and demanded that the Danish Consul-
General send them home.
Mr. Thomas Christensen, organizer of the Scandinavian Seamen's Club at Brooklyn, said that agents of Danish Petroleum, which Standard Oil controls, offered the men jobs in Denmark. When they arrived in New York they discovered 1,200 unemployed Scandinavian seamen ' already here, he said, Many of these were also brought to the United States by Standard Oil Company, he declared, The Standard Oil Company denied that the men were brought to New York under false pretences. They said the Danes had all signed regular papers aboard the ship "and then deserted after agitators misled them."—United Press.
