Bridges Defies Use Of Military In Loading Ships

SAN FRANCISCO (P)-Leaders of striking CIO longshoremen ar ranged to meet with army officers here today to discuss the army's shipping in the light of the week old tie-up of west coast ports.
 Harry Bridges, president of the longshore union, said in Seattle last night that "all unions in the nation would support the steve dores" in case army personnel is used to handle military cargoes.
 An army spokesman in Washing ton said military personnel would handle army cargo essential for overseas bases if an agreement is not reached with the longshore- men.
 Bridges said his longshoremen would load army ships if the pre- vailing port wage is paid. He said a 15-cent an hour wage raise in cluded in a new contract with in dependents in Seattle would apply to any army work.
 Bridges was to meet with army officers here this afternoon after holding telephone discussions with army port officers in Seattle yes terday.
 No break was indicated in the strike which has idled 28,000 men and 160 ships on the west coast. Besides Bridges union, four sea- going unions are involved. After collapse of negotiations, chiefly on wages and the disputed hiring hall issue, the operators withdrew all previous concessions. They an- nounced they no longer would ne- gotiate with unions whose leaders failed to file non-communist affi- davits under the Taft-Hartley act. Bridges has refused to file such an affidavit.
 Nine hundred members of the San Francisco employers council yesterday voted its unanimous support to the ship owners.

Vetch, wild winter peas, burr

excellent winter cover crops. Be
