Court of Appeals of the State of New York.

Chief Judge CONWAY and Judges DESMOND, DYE, FULD and BURKE concur in decision; Judge VAN VOORHIS concurs in decision in memorandum in which Judge FROESSEL also concurs.
Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
VAN VOORHIS, J.
I concur for affirmance mainly by reason of the limited nature of this contract combined with the history of unionization of this industry while under private ownership and the presence in the contract of a clause permitting it to be cancelled by the Authority at any time.
