Bridges 10 Ask Unions
Overseas 10 Boycott
Army 'Scab' Cargoes
BY the Assocju,ed Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l5.-
Despite only limited success so far.
the Army today sought to sign up
Pacific Coast dock workers to move
military cargo piled up during the
14-day maritime strike.
Harry Bridges, cIO longshore-
mems leader, labelling all those who
signed up with the Army as strike
breakers, declared he would request
unions in all foreign ports to re-
fuse to handle "scab" ships.
This cast an international i'm
plication into the crippling tie-up
and made uncertain the unloading
of Army food and supplies destined
for Pacific areas.
Bridges Heads Pickets.
Army action to hire men directly
was taken yesterday after shipping
employers refused to load or sail
as long as they had to deal with
what they called Communist Party
line leadership" Mr.. Bridges has
refused to sign . on-Commmist
affidavit under the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Mr.. Bridges personally led lines of
his white capped longshoremen
forming virtually a shoulder-to-
shoulder barricade in front of the
Army employment Office at the Fort
Mason Port of Embarkation here.
Men seeking work - mostly nom
unionists-were told they would be
considered strikebreakers and would
be fired by the Army as soon as the
strike ends. But there was no
violence. II they insisted on sign
ing up, they were allowed to pass.
Truman Intervention Urged.
An Army spokesman said only
80 men signed in the first two hours,
but the signup went on all day and
continued today. The total was not
announced, but clearly was far short
of the $50 men the Army says it
needs here.
The longshoremen's union re-
affirmed its willingness to work
Army cargo under conditions pre-
vailing before the strike and asked
President Truman to intervene, to
change the Arny's attitude
Addressing his longshoremen in
front of the Fort Mason Office, Mr..
Bridges declared:
Lets make sure this thing hops.
They (the Army are offering a COM
plete open shop. This Is strike
breaking 1913 style-the Army ana
the shipowners."
$50 Vessels, $4,000 Men Idle.
The strike, basically over wages
and Interpretation of the hiring hall,
has made idle $50 vessels and about
5000 men in Pacific Coast ports.
Foodstuffs were reported jammlng
freight terminals all along the coast.
Meantime, the National Labor Re-
lations Board planned to reopen
hearings today on employer charges
that the longshoremen's union is
guilty of unfair labor practices by
virtue of insisting on a hiring hall
made illegal by the Taft-Hartley Act.

Truck StrkeNediato
Seeks Wage Solution
On 0'Dwyer Order
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Mayor
William ODwyer has named spe-
cial mediator in the Metropolitan
truck strike, and has told him to
clear up the chaotic" conditions
in the industry's labor relations.
The mediator, Hugh E. Sheridan,
a truck company owner and i'm
partial arbitrator In the industry
for eight years, was called into the
dispute yesterday as strike develop
ments took a turn for the worse.
The Mayor asked Mr.. Sheridan to
find some way in which order can
be made out of the chaotic situa-
ton" in regard to varying union
wage demands. and diverse policies
Of employers in meeting the de-
mands.
Mayor ODwyer said confusing
and unhealthy condition" has re-
suited.
Would Need "HOudini.
Mr.: Sheridan, former truckman
himself, commented that it would
take q "Houdini" to untangle the
present complex wage knot.
Here is the situation he has to
deal with:
The city's largest local of the AFL
International Brotherhood of Team
sters. No. S07, which spearheaded
the two-week- -old strike, is demand
ing a 1712 -cents-an-h hour wage in
crease and various welfare benefits.
On the basis of these terms, it
has signed contracts with 727 in
dividual trucking concerns, sending
about 1900 of its members back to
work. About 4,500 still are on
strike.
$500 Truckers Still Idle.
Local 2S2, the city's second largest,
has raised its demands to Is cents
an hour, and about $500 of It's $500
members have walked OIL their jobs
without a strike call.
This means that total of about
$500 truckers are idle-nearly as
many as at the start Of the strike
September /.
With the two locals demanding a
separate set of terms, the city's third
and smallest Teamsters Local, No.
816, has kept its members working
under still another wage formula
worked out by union and employer
negotiators before the strike.
This calls for a 15-cent hourly
increase.
Hauling of Cargoes Disrupted.
The new walkouts yesterday
caused more disruption in the move
ment of food and freight.
Hauling of cargo of the Pennsyl-
vania and New York Central Rail-
roads from yards to ship piers was
halted as drivers charged clock
out" by truck firms serving the rail-
roads in waterfront operations.
Milk supplies for schools and
stores were imperiled after Local
807 withdrew an emergency agree
ment to deliver fiber milk contain
ers used generally here instead OF
bottles.
