Invasion Boat Plants
Of Higgins Industries
Tied Up by Dispute
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, June GA la
bor-management controversy which
paralyzed activities in at least two
plants of Higgins Industries, Inc.
which build invasion boats ano
other war material, continued dead
locked today despite a War Labor
Board directive ordering the ap-
proXimately 5000 workers back to
their jobs.
The men, affiliated with the New
Orleans metal and Building Trades
Council (AFL), voted yesterday to
disregard the WLB order and the
next move appeared to be up to the
Government.
Offlcials previously hinted there
was a possibility of the Government
taking over and operating the
plants, but there was no indica ton
today of such move. Under estab-
llshed procedure the WLB could
certify the dispute to President Tru-
man, who in turn could order the
plant seized.
Strike Began Monday.
The men failed to report Mon
day as the result of the cancella-
ton of closed shop agreement by
the company. The shipbuilding
commission of the WLB upheld the
cancellation. The contract was
negotiated in 1910 and was to ex-
pire September 13, 1945.
In announcing the unions vote
yesterday not to return to work, C.
E. Alexander, jr.. secretary treas
urer of the Trades Council, said
Our position Is unchanged. No
agreement-no work"
The company also terminated
contracts with the International
SeafarerS' and International Ma
chinists Unions (AFD after Sea-
farers declined to cross picket lines
and 40 machinists staged SYM
pathy walkout with the metal and
construction workers.
P. J. Lykke,. Gulf organizer for
the Seafarers, said only 40 seamen,
employed by the company to man
the vessels and small craft OF trial
trips, were affected by the canceIla-
ton.
Morris Gottesman, secretary
treasurer of the Higgins Industries,
said yesterday that the company
was preparing list of about $500
men of draft age who are among
those absent from work. He said
the list was being compiled in COM
pliance with the law.
Hiring Ex- -Servicemen.
Mr.. Gottesman said the Bayou
st. John plant operated Tuesday
with the help of foremen and super
visors and a few metal and con-
struction workers, but that the In
dustrial Canal and City Park plants
were idle
Andrew j. Higgins, company pres
ident, said the controversy resulted
because Il am giving returning
servicemen jobs without forcing
them to join any union
Mr.. Alexander declared Mr.. Hig-
gins was using the Servicemen fac
tor "as a smoke screen to block out
the union and asserted that nego-
tiations toward new contract
broke down when the company re-
fused even to consider a clause pro-
viding benefits for returning serv-
icemen.
WLB Explains Situation.
In Washington, the War Labor
Board emphasized that under its
Shipbuilding Commissions order OF
June l, the contract still would be
in effect until July l. and could be
continued beyond then If the union
started proceedings for re-certifica-
ion by the National Labor Relations
Board or if Mr.. Higgins recognized

the Higgins-Metal Trades contract
was that Mr.. Higgins was within his

the union contention that the con-
tract, if not terminated at the end
of two years, could not be touched
until the next anniversary, or Sep

Despite its findings that the con-
tract could be terminated at any
