Plan for Bay City
SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. "a, CUP
A plan to assure permanent
peace on the Pacific coast water
fronts where it holds Jurisdiction
will be placed before representatives
OF maritime unions on Jan. 80,
Harry r. Bridges, president of the
international Longshoremen's and
Warehousemens union, announced
today
Bridges enunciated his proposal in
blistering reply to Mayor Angelo
Rossi. who Monday had devoted the
major portion of his annual mes
sage to the board of supervisors

waterfront leadership.
First inkling that Bridges was
preparing a long term peace pro-
posal came last Wednesday when he
made a two hour talk before the
Junior Foreign Trade association.
The peace, Bridges said. would
guarantee against strikes and work
stoppages and problems arising
would be handled by negotiations
and arbitration.
In return. the union would ask
an equally binding assurance that
none Of the bettered conditions
won Since 1884 will be repudiated
or challenged.
"The plan is simply based upon
a declaration and pledge to be
given by the waterfront employers
and their associates :. that the
waterfront unions will not be con-
stantly attacked in attempts to
take away fundamental conditions
they now have and that have been
established over the past few years, II
Bridges said In formal statement
IF these pledges and guarantees
can be procured from the en-
ployers, there is no doubt that a
satisfactory contract providing fol
permanent waterfront peace witt
negotiation and arbitration of mos
issues can be worked out"
In his talk before the trade as
sociation, Bridges said the plar
would be advanced when "the las
