their blessing to the AFL's move
to ouSt the lila from the decks.
Despite this extra aid. some Fed
eral labor officials here doubt
that the Federation will be able
to break the ILA's hold in New
York, although they believe the
old union may lose out at other
ports. These officials doubt that
the AFL will be able to crack the
loyalty of the rank-and-f1le LILA
member to his union officials.
Despite the racketS and crime in
which some LILA officers have
been involved the union has been
successful over the years in
getting wage increases from en-
ployers, and that counts heavily
with the union member.
The wage dispute with the
water front employers, the i'm
mediate cause of the present
strike, probably will not be set
tied until it is determined
whether the old lila or the new
lila is to repre- sent the workers.
Employers in Middle.
The employers are the ones
really in the middle. Naturally
they wish to have peace. But
they can't sign up with the old
LILA even if the ir small monetary
differences are settled, because
the AFL has served legal notice
it will ask for an election to un-
seat the LILA. If the employers
sign with the lila, they would
surely face legal action for in
terfering with a Government
conducted election in the event
the AFL lost out in the balloting.
And they can't sign up with the
AFL because the lila is still the
legally-represented bargaining
agent for the dock workers and
will remain so until it is over
thrown in membership election.
AS a result of disclosures of
corruption before the New York
Crime Commission, a New York;
New Jersey Water Front Com
mission was set up with the ap-
proval of Congress to clean up
the water fronts. All persons
who wish to work on the docks
after December / will have to
register with the Bi-State group
and be licensed. In that way it
it hoped to eleminate mobsters
and criminal elements from the
docks. The lila has instructed
its memberships not to apply for
registration. Despite that order,
the commission already has dis
tributed several thousand appli-
cations. But more trouble is ex-
pected on December l.

Eisenhower 10 Get
Dock Strike Report,
May Ask Injunction
BY ihe A.soeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Quick
presidential intervention into
longshoremen's strike which has
paralyzed East Coast shipping
loomed today as a three-man
board Of inquiry wound up it's
hearings.
The board was named by the
President to study the walkout
Of so, 900 dock workers from Port
land, Maine, to Hampton Roads,
Va.
After hearing testimony from
union and shipping representa-
tives, members of the board told
reporters the situation is very
serious.
Members of the board empha-
sized that they do not recon-
mend to the President on whether
he should invoke the anti-strike
provision Of the Taft-Hartley
law.
O1earS 1uJunCClOn.
The setting up of the board,
however, clears the track for the
President to seek an Injunction
requiring an 80-day cooling off
period if he should invoke the
anti-Strike clause.
Leaders of the International
Longshoremen's Association have
indicated they would return to
work if the law is invoked.
The board members said they
will write their report here to-
morrow and turn it over to the
President in Washington Mon
day. If he should desire to do
so, the President could ask the
injunction Immediately after
receiving the report.
Joseph Mayper, counsel for
the New York Shipping Asso-
citation, said a continuation of
the strike would cause "tremen-
dous losses" to the Port of New
York, the general public and the
longshoremen.
The Commerce and Industry
Association has estimated the
strike would cost the Port of
New York alone, SIS million a
day and ultimately affect 100000
persons whose jobs are directly
or indirectly concerned with
shipping.
Claims Good Faith.
Mr.. Mayper said the employers
had bargained in good faith with
the LILA for IS years. Notice
from the American Federation
of Labor, which recently ex-
PEELED the LILA as racket ridden,
that it intended to represent the
longshoremen had placed ship
pers "in the middle"
Another factor, he said, was
the need to make any agree
ment conform to regulations of
the recently created New York
New Jersey Bi-State Waterfront
Commission. which does not be-
come effective until December l.
Patrick j. Connolly, vice presi-
dent of the LILA, told the board
that the AFL would not get two
per cent of the LILA membership
if the National Labor Relations
Board conducted an election to
determine the bargaining agent.
Later Mr.. Connolly was asked
by reporters for comment on
reports that John L. Lewis
I United Mine Workers had invited
the ousted lila to affiliate.
He replied: Were answering
no questions on that"
Sought 13-Cent Raise.
The LILA struck when employ
ers failed to meet the union de-
mand for a 13 cents an hour
wage increase and other benefits.
The employers offered 8l2 cents.
Present basic wages average
$2.27 an hour.

sented in bargaining by their
new union or the old LILA.
Mr.. Beck was quoted as say
ing the AFL already could show
a majority among the longshore-
men of New York and Northern
New Jersey. Patrick j. CPacky)
Connolly, executive vice presi-
dent of the LILA, retorted that
the AFL hadn't lined up over
two percent of the workers.
In any event, in order to get
the NLRB to conduct a new
representation election, the AFL
if normal NLRB rules are fol-
lowed, must present signed cards
of 80 per. cent of the dockers.
If that is done, there would be
a hearing on the AFL petition
and then, if allowed, the elec-
ton. The whole process nor
mally takes several months.
No rules have been made, but
presumably the NLRB would
hold a separate election at each
of the IL major ports where the
workers are represented by the
LILA. The AFL would have to
win the elections to take over
the bargaining rights and GUST
the LILA.
Meanwhile, the lila is not
standing idly by and allowing
the AFL to run over them. So
far a few, but only a few. lila
leaders and locals have gone
over to the AFL. And most of
the union strong men in New
York have indicated they will
fight it out for their old union.
Deals with some of the lila big
shots with clean hands have
been reported in the making, but
so far none has materlalized.
So far the AFL's drive has re-
suited in little or no violence,
but&only because the docks are
under guard of hundreds of po-
lice. Just what will happen
when the AFL steps up its Or
ganizational drive and the pier
workers return to work after
the injunction is obtained, no
one can say. The situation is
full of dynamite. Both sides
have accused the other of arm
ing its organizers with ball bats,
crank handles, two-by-fou and
similar paraphernalia.
The president of the lila is
Joseph P. Ryan, who is under
indictment in New York on a
charge of stealing union funds.
Ryan was discharged yesterday
from New York hospital where
he was under treatment for a
liver ailment. RumorS in high
places are that Ryan is on his
way out as head of the lila and
there are a flock of fellow union
officers waiting around to take
over.
There are differences within
the lila and that fact compli-
Gates the whole waterfront situ-
alton. There are some power
fights among the LILA leaders,
but they seem to be together on
one thing and that is they won't
desert to the AFL.
Possible Ryan Successor.
Best bet to succeed Ryan if he
steps out-or is pushed outs
Capt. William Bradley. the head
of an lila local of 1000 members
who operate the tugboats which
steer the big ships into the New
York and New Jersey docks. Be-
cause of the Importance of the
task performed by Capt. Brad
ley's men, they can tie llp New
York harbor alone any time they
see fit. Actually, the Bradley
forces are not now on strike, but
they are respecting the picket
lines of fellow members of the
lila.

York State officials have o ven
