Labor Disputes Have
Tied Up Shipping In
Nation S Seaports
Old Contract
Expired Last
MiclnighE Won't
Sail Without One

WASHINGTON. June l6-tPl
Labor disputes have tied up
shipping in every big seaport in
the nation.
CIO maritime union members
on the Atlantic and Gulf coast
ports refused to talk about a
strike, but operators wondered
whether they would sail without
new contract. The old contraet
expired last midnight, and feder-
al ncgotiators admitted failure in
their efforts, TO bring thc1atwo
sides togetb6ra oaoh
The president Of the CIO Ma
tionaE Maritime Union, Joseph
Curran, said. 81 expect our men
will net sail ships, because they
have mo contract, | know
wouldn't"
In San Fransico, the CIQ radio
operators called strike as soon
as negotiations broke down early
today But despite the radio
mems strike, negotiations appear
ed to be spproaching settlements
IN other West Coast maritime dis
putes.
The Independent Marine Fire
mems union agreed to l5-day
extension Of It's contract and the
CIO marine engineers agreed to a
30-day extension And last night
he Independent Longshoremen's
and Warehouscmcn's union on
west coast approved a contract
calling for a package pay increase
of 20 cents an hour 10 cover wages
and pensions Five cents will be
added TO wages and Is TO the
union pension fund
Meanwhile, a plea by shipown-
ers for White House Intervention
on the east and gulf coasts fail
ed President Truman declined TO
intervene.
New York police headquarters
says that the contract dispute be-
tween Atlantic and Gulf Coast
shippers and three maritime uni-
ons docs not have the status Of a
strike.
The police explained that there
is no strike yet because right
now there arc no large vessels in
the Port of New York for the men
to sign on.
They added there will be no
picketing before Monday because
there is very little activity in the
port and no vessels coming or go
