U. 5. Gets Injunction
Dock Strike
Scheduled Tonight
Loneshoremen to Obey
Court Order, Continue
Contract Negotiations
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The
Federal Government today OBJ
tanned a temporary injunction
barring a strike of $4,000 East
Coast dock workers set for
midnight tonight.
Federal Judge Harold r. Medina
issued the injunction against the
AFL International Longshoremen's
Association. 1t will be effective un-
til August 81.
The injunction was requested by
the Justice Department on the order
of President Truman who said a
strike would "imperil the national
health and safety"
The President acted after presi-
Dental fact finding board said a

To Ask 8O-Day order.
Joseph M. Friedman. special as
sistant to Attorney General Clark,
said the Government would ask
Judge Medina next Tuesday to ex-
pand the temporary restraining
order into an 80>day cooling OF"
injunction as provided in the Taft
Hartley Act.
Joseph p. Ryan. president Of the
lila, said I'VE naturally will live up
to it and I hope We will be able to
adjust our differences and be able to
get a. good agreement before the
SO-day cooling of period Of the in
junction"
Overtime Pay Dispute.
The major stumbling block to
settlement-during some two months
of negotiations-has been a dispute
over the basis of computing over
time pay.
Longshoremen currently get a
straight time rate Of Sits an hour
for regular hours worked Monday
through Friday. They get a higher
rate-S2621a an hour-for all hours
worked at night or on Saturday and
Sunday, regardless Of how many
hours a week are worked.
In addition, the wage-hour law
requires employers to pay at the
rate of time-and -one half for hours
over 40 in one week.
Computed on Straight Time.
Up to now this overtime rate has
been computed on the basis Of the
straight time rate of SITS an hour.
A Supreme Court ruling last June
7. however, held that in computing
overtime employers must use as a
basis the average rate per hour a
man gets for his first 40 hours,
rather than the straight weekday
rate. 4
In ether words. for men who work
part of their 40-hour week on week
ends, the average Is greater than
the regular rate-and the resulting
time-and-a-half after 40 hours is
much higher.
The companies have baked at
the added costs, and also have
