Mounting Union Rivalry
Threatens New Water
front Strikes

WASHINGTON, July %. -(P)-
Mounting union rivalry and de-
mands on the maritime industry
blew up omnibus new labor clouds
Sunday along the nations water
fronts.
Immediately ahead is a strike
CLIO dock workers have voted for
next Thursday which they claim
may "tie up the whole west coast"
unless an agreement intervenes.
Rival Group
Sunday the ALL disclosed that
seven of it's unions are prepared to
band together in a National Mari
time council. This group would
rival the newly-formed CLIO Com
mittee for Maritime unity (CMU),
the organization involved in the
narrowly-averted maritime crisis
of mid-June.
Already both coasts have seen a
number of AFL-CIO clashes. One of
these occurred at Coos Bay, Ore,
where the GNU refused to load a
vessel manned by members of the
ALL Sailors Union of the Pacific,
declaring workers of this union
had taken over jobs additionally
held by CLIO unionists.

Rehearing Asked
The request by w. D. McCaig,
hospital board chairman, that re-
nearing on a previously set appro-
oriation of a tentative joint city
county contribution of $35, 900, was
received by city officials too late
last week for any official action.
Benson explained that he had not
yet contacted the Board of County
Commissioners, relative to the mat
ter.
Raise Sought
The institution was allocated $27,-
400 for last year, and McCaig SUBJ
mitttd the request for a hehearing
in anattempt to raise this years
appropriation to $39, Ola, SO, a differ
ence from the original city-county
tentative budget, of some $4,000.
This additional money, according
to the board chairman is needed to
offset increased costs of operation
of the hospital, and to pay off a
deficit of Sc, 700 brought over from

turned up with two older ones.
