Ships Don't Sail Two CIO Contracts Still Not Signed

coast ports, in marked contrast with the shipping paralysis in the east, hustled with activity Tues day despite mo contract" situa- ton with two CIO unions.
 The word around the water fronts of Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, San Pedro and San Di- ego was that anything might hap pen" But it hadn't yet-two days after contracts terminated with the radio men CACA) and the cooks and stewards.
 A spokesman for the employers said negotiation meetings with both unions were scheduled yes terday. There had been reports that if the June Is deadline was reached without all unions in con- tract agreement, none would work.
 "We expect to reach agreements with all the unions," said a repre- sentative of the shipowners.
 "So far, we've renewed con- tracts with four big unions and II miscellaneous groups represent 3l 500 men. The two unions not yet signed to renewals have $500 men,"
 The radio men, cooks and stew ards give evidence they would re- fuse to sign on for a voyage while negotiations were pending. But an employer spokesman said none had been asked to sign.
 The two unions without con- tracts said they would only con- tinue to work ships in port, posing questions in San Pedro as to the scheduled sailings of CIO-manned ships and Seattle where the pas senger steamer Alaska was due to leave for the north.
 Portland reported normal" wa terfront activity. No ships were in port at San Diego and none was due for the next few days.
 Six ships cleared from San Francisco Monday and more sail ings were scheduled Tuesday. The unions said Tuesdays sailings oc- cured before any mo work" pro- gram was properly organized.
 A cue for the next development was awaited from two top CIO leaders on the west coast, Harry Bridges and Hugh Bryson, flying in from the east. Bridges long Shoremen have extended their contract. Bryson's cooks and stew ards say they want to entend theirs-but also want an immedi- ate wage review.
 Bridges west coast maritime committee continued appeals in full-page advertisements for a manifestation of immediate pub lie indignation"-and supplied the telephone number of the Pacific American Shipowners association.
 The committee predicted that the shipowners at any moment would exercise reservation writ ten into the renewed contracts and cancel agreements already reach ed with the majority of workers" |"
 A spokesman for the shipown- CTS professed no knowledge of such an intent.

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-12-04

A man who forever complains about
his neighbors should consider well his
own mode of life. He may find something
in it that is contributing cause to faults
he finds readily in his neighbors
In a similar manner, one may judge
the disposition of man by what he has
to say about a community. We have
known of. few persons who have come
here, and complained from the day of
their arrival to the day of their leaving.
Always they took parting shot at Key
West before going away.
~ They were cantankerous while they
were in Key West and you may be sure
they were cantankerous before they came
here and after they left here. 1T is the
nature of the beast" as the saying goes.
Persons of that type are fault-finders
wherever they reside.
Only small percentage of Key West
ers know Captain Harold A. Houser, USN,
commanding officer in Key West for six
months, but every Key Wester can easily
determine the type of man he is by read
ing what he had to say about this city on
Tuesday, the day before he left for Wash
ing to become liaison officer between the
Navy Department and the Senate Military
Affairs Committee. His tribute to Key
West is we'll worth repeating:
"Some of you no doubt recall the
pleasure l expressed some months ago at
being assigned to duty in Key West. That
pleasure is now matched by the regrets l
have at leaving after such short period
of service here.
II have thoroughly enjoyed the asso-
Citations and cooperation which all the citi-
zens Of Key West have freely given in
connection with the solving of our mutual
problems.
"In Washington, and such other places
as future duty may call me, intend to
constitute myself an ambassador of good
will for the city of Key West. hope to
have the pleasure of again visiting Key
West and enjoying the Incompatible eli
mate which you have here"
