Ship Tie-up
Possible
San Francisco—CIO Long
shoremen warned shippers of the
possibility of a West Coast mar
itime tie-up within the next
couple of days and also advised
coast waterfront locals that a
“lockout” impends.
The warning, from the head
quarters of the CIO Internation
al Longshoremen’s & Warehouse

current dispute over the employ
eis’ refusal to recognize the
unionisation of walking bosses.
Harry Bridges warned of a pos
sible “lockout” tomorrow,
Seward (JP)—Striking long
shoremen have agreed to handle
cargo coming on the Denali des

rent woik stoppage here.

2 of the Leite addition was sold
this week by Harold and Peggy
Simmons to John and Marjorie
