United Office & Professional

The gathering also voted to
raise per capita dues from DC to

600 members, the extra three
cents will bring in about $4,000

third to meet increased expenses

labor movement. Murray de-
manded that they make it clear
whether they intend to follow

Truman S Aid SOUGHT
In Port Pay Dispute
BY the Associoisd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. g. President
Truman's aid will be sought in
settling a dispute between AFL
longshoremen and East Coast ship
owners-in which the union sympa-
thiZes with the owners on a major
pay issue.
The contract dispute, which part
ly involves a Supreme Court de-
cision on overtime pay rates
threatens a work stoppage by $4,000
longshoremen from Virginia to
Maine next month.
Joseph Ryan, president Of the
AFL International Longshoremen's
Association, said yesterday the union
and the ship operators will ask
Mr.. Truman to help change the
effect of the court decision, handed
down last June.
Mr.. Ryan has said he agrees with
the employers that the decision
works a hardship on them. Both
the union and the employers say the
decision and its Interpretation by
the Wage and Hour Administration
prevent them from reaching agree
ment on a new contract.
The Supreme Court ruled that
night and weekend work performed
in excess of 40 hours a week must
be paid at a rate of one and one
half times the present time-and-a-
half rate of $2.624a an hour.
Mr. Ryan says the union will not
accept a contract without straight
and overtime pay rates in it.
