SEATTLE, Jan. s. (UP)-M.
G.. Ringenberg, manager of the
Seattle Waterfront Employers as
ISOLATION. last night announced the
association would sever diplomatic
relations with the International
Longshoremen's association today,
presaging a tie-up of the port OF
Seattle.
The move followed action ear
lier yesterday by the Pacific Coast
Waterfront Employers association
in San Francisco giving authority
to the local association to act in
a dispute with longshoremen over
the unloading of vessels.
Although the waterfront EN-
ployers were confident the con-
troversy would not spread to other
Pacific coast cities, Matt Meehan,
secretary of the Longshoremen's
association, was not SO optimistic.
"1t is quite possible that this
will spread to q coastwide tie-up,"
Meehan said. However, we will
do our best to localize it. This is
a sit-down strike on the part of
the employers, who, if they can't
get what they want one way will
get it another"
