FOOD, FUEL THREATENED
Tugboat Strike Snarls
NYC Harbor Shipping
NEW YORK. Feb. 4—(P) — A
strike by 3.500 tugboat workers,
supported by 35,000 longshoremen,
tied up shipping in the vast New
York harbor today and cut off a
large portion of the city's food and
fuel supplies.
The workmen, members of Local
3* United Marine division of the
A FL Ink -national Longshoremen's
association, officially left their jobs
at 12:01 a. m. (EST) as the result
of a wage dispute with the tug-
boat operators, organized as the
New York tugboat exchange.
Joseph P. Ryan, president of the
ILA. said the 35.000 longshoremen
of the parent union would support
the walkout by refusing to load or
unload any ship which normally
GM Takes Pay
Off Talk Agenda
DETROIT, Feb. 4—General
Motors Corp, and the CIO United
Auto Workers scheduled negotia-
would be handled by the strikers.
About eight hours after the
walkout started Capt. William
Bradley, president of the tug-
boat local, said the strike was
"98 percent effective.”
He said a "half dozen tugs or
so” still were working on incom-
pleted tasks of escorting ships to
and from berths. These were as-
signments taken on before the
start of the strike, he added.
Bradley said the last time New
York harbor was tied up by a
strike as extensive as the present
one was in 1919 when the men
stayed out for seven weeks.
Morning meetings were schedul-
ed with both union and company
officials by Edward C. Maguire,
labor advisor to Mayor O’Dwyer,
and William C. Liller of the U. S.
conciliation service, in an attempt
to settle the strike.
The union itself planned a mem-
bership meeting for 2 p. m. (CST).

from abroad, will not be affected.

grass toward settlement of the
lay strike was expected unless
Special Mediator James F. Dewey
can inspire some agreement as to
what issues will be discussed first.
The corporation has held to the
assertion made before current
talks began that it would not dis-
cuss the wage increase demanded
by the union until certain "unsatis-
factory provisions'’ in the old con-
tract, which KM terminated Dec.
10. are eliminated.
