Labor Trouble Spreading In U.S.
By United Press International
By United Press International A worsening rash of labor unrest spread the country today. It idled more than 100,000 workers and affected millions of others.
At a glance:
- A presidential board was to meet with both sides in New York today in the virtually complete shutdown of all Atlantic and Gulf coast ports.
- Production continued at the McDonnell Aircraft Corp., St. Louis, Mo., where the astronauts, Mercury and Gemini space capsules are made despite a walkout of 184 electricians.
- Publishers reaffirmed their unity in the printers strike that has stopped publication of nine New York dailies. Plans were made to start another newspaper with an initial run of 200,000 Friday.
- Negotiators met with the union and representatives of the Cleveland Press and Plain Dealer in a meeting Mavor Ralph Locher called "crucial."
- Mayor James H. J. Tate asked Philadelphia transit workers to go back to work during negotiations. Both sides met again yesterday without agreement.
PRESIDENT KENNEDY, in naming a three-man board yesterday, said the "point of public toleration has been passed" in the strike which has idled more than 100,800 longshoremen and maritime workers.
Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., one-time member of the National Defense Mediation and War Labor Boards, headed the group that was to meet with representatives of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the various fleets.
The longshoremen walked off the job 25 days ago in search of a 55-cent an hourly package. They have been offered a 23-cent hourly increase.
SHIPPERS ESTIMATE the strike already has cost $600 million.
In New Orleans, attorneys for five banana handler locals sought to delay a court order to return to work.
Machinists and other workers at McDonnell Aircraft honored their contracts rather than picket. Forty-five teamsters did not cross the picket line, and the firemen and oilers union said it was up to their 30 members whether to work.
In Lakeland, Fla., a shipper said the strike would mean the loss of sales to European markets of about a half million boxes of fresh citrus. He said one sale of one million gallons of orange concentrate alone had been canceled.
MORE THAN 26,000 workers are employed at the St. Louis plant, which also turns out Phantom-2 planes. McDonnell President David S. Lewis said he anticipated no interruption of defense production.
U. S. District Judge Frank B. Ellis said yesterday the banana handlers should abide by an unsigned contract agreement, despite the general strike.
The New York Chronicle was scheduled to hit the streets Monday where millions have been without a daily for 41 days. The paper was to be financed by newspapermen, businessmen and lawyers.
THE PUBLISHERS Association of New York City met shortly after negotiations between the printers and publishers were broken off. The publishers said "the adamant stand on economically impossible proposals . . . would threaten the New York newspapers with bankruptcy."
Failure of talks today could lead to the breaking off of negotiations between the American Newspaper Guild and the Cleveland papers. The guild has been on strike 49 days, one day less than the striking teamsters.
The fourth edition of the tabloid,
"The Between Times," appeared on
Cleveland newsstands yesterday with
eight pages of news and advertising.
A million Philadelphia commuters sought other ways to get around after 5.600 members of the transport workers union went on strike midnight Monday.
