LOngshOre Discuss Work Stoppages

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-A la Dor relations committee ruling was studied today by CIO long 5hOrcoff. c als planning a series of work stoppage meetings up and down the coast to discuss contract problems.
 Clark Kerr, chairman of the committee, ruled that all such meetings must be held during ov- ertime or holiday hours.

He also suggested that the San Francisco Bay area ILWU choose another opening hour than 10 am. Thurs day.
 ILWU officials called meetings tonight and tomorrow at all Pa cific coast ports to vote on mo contract-no work" policy when their contracts with the water front expire June 15. Portland members already have voted but the vote has not been tallied. Kerr said that none of the meet ings can last longer than six con- secutive hours and that union hir- ing halls must remain open.
 He made the ruling after M. G. Ringberg, president of the Wash ington waterfront employers wired a protest of plans for the Seattle 3 to pm. session Thurs day. Gingenberg called it "con- tract violation" and asked Kerr to call off the meeting. Los Angeles-Long Beach and Portland dock workers planned meetings tonight.
 The ILWU has rejected water front proposals to extend the con- tracts three months and countered with proposals to extend them by a year.

The awe and reverence acquired

property, there will be no more
flags taken from the graves of our
honored dead to be torn, mutilated,
and cast into the gutter next Memo

payment for your freedom. Use
that freedom wisely and teach ap-
probation of it and regard for
property and tradition.
