Dock Workers Vote On Pact

By WESLEY G. PIPPERT United Press International Longshoremen in New York City today started voting on settlement. terms which could end the 32-day dock strike on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts this week. The ratification vote by individual dockworkers starts Thursday in other ports from Maine to Norfolk, Va. There were indications that if the proposed new contract is accepted quickly by shipping interests and the union in southern and Gulf ports longshoremen would return to work on Saturday. The end of the long strike would provide a big break in the worst siege of labor unrest across the land in many months. Millions of persons have been affected by the maritime walkout, which has idled more than 100,000 workers. Losses due to the strike have been estimated at SBOO million. In other labor developments: —The Florida East Coast Railroad was hit by a strike of more than 1,200 members of 11 nonoperating unions. The railroad ceased operations and abolished the strikers’ jobs. The railroad serves Cape Canaveral and numerous resorts and industrial sites between Jacksonville and Florida City. —Negotiations resumed in the New York newspaper strike and quickened in the walkout at the Cleveland dailies. —A judge studied possible taking over of the strike-bound Philadelphia Transportation Co., in order to resume service to one million commuters. ■ —■Talks were scheduled to resume in the 158-day-old strike at the Shell Oil Refinery at Roxana, 111., where the only issue is whether the company should permit three workers accused of alleged violence to return to work. —Some 180 striking electricians met with the McDonnell Aircraft Corp., St. Louis, makers of space caosules and Phantom jets, with union spokesmen reporting “no comment on anything.” —The Red Arrow Lines, Media, -Pa., were faced with a threatened Jan. 31 strike; the meatworkers of St. Louis threatened to strike Sunday; and operating Engineers served a strike — notice' on the Electric Co. of Milwaukee’. k Provide* Pay Hike The longshoremen settlement calls for an hourly package increase of about 37 cents including a pay hike of 24 cents spread over two years. The International 'Longshoremen’s Association originally asked a total of 86 cents an hour. The shipping firms offered 22 cents. The New York Shipping Association, the pacesetter among the shipping firms, accepted terms of the proposed contract workedout by a panel headed by a former professional labor mediator, Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore. About 280 ships were tied up in New York. The New Orleans Steamship Association accepted the contract “in principle.” But it said the locals would have to return to work immediately. The Louisiana port city has lost an estimated $l.B million daily and had 100 ships at anchor.- * The longshoremen could be back on the waterfront as early as Thursday. The ILA accepted terms of the contract Sunday, and a vote by the membership was all that remained today. Representatives of Gulf Coast shipping interests and the ILA met in Galveston, Tex., to end the walkout in that area. Seek Wage Boost The dispute between Florida East Coast and 11 non-operating unions was over demands for raises of 10.28 cents an hour, retroactive to February, 1962. The railroad rejected the demand, and said it had lost money because of the Cuban crisis. Federal Mediator James Holaren said there was an “bbvious lack of desire” by both parties to negotiate. The railroad laid off road crews Tuesday in anticipation of the strike by the 1,200 nonoperating union members. Publishers and printers agreed to meet today tor the first time since Jan. 16 in the 46-day-old New York newspaper strike. However, the publishers, in a statement Tuesday night, said a proposal by White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger for a study group ‘appears to offer no prospect of a prompt solution.” The publishers also said they had made new proposals to the printers and other craft unions for raises amounting to $8.50 over two years plus a fourth week of vacation after 10 years employment. They estimated the cost of the printers’ original demands at ; $38.37, including sl9 in increased wages. Cleveland Talks Resume In Cleveland, negotiations resumed between the Teamsters and the Plain Dealer and the; Press for the first time this week. Bargainers for the striking American Newspaper Guild and publishers discussed the key issue of union security Tuesday for the first time. . itublishers also were to meet with the pressmen’s union. The pressmen’s contract has expired, but they have not joined the

strike. The Cleveland Record, published by the striking unions, put out 120,000 copies in its seoond edition Tuesday and the suburban Cleveland Sun distributed 60,000 copies. Philadelphia Mayor James H.J. Tate filed suit in Common Pleas Court to have the city take over the transit firm after he failed to I bring officials of the company' and Transport Workers Union to- < gether. The strike was in its ninth day. The major stumbling block was a no-layoff clause which prohibits the firm from firing any worker except for incompetence. The company wants to eliminate the clause from the new contract. To Present Plan On Revision Os Guard INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Adj. Gen. John S. Anderson said today he will present at the Pentagon in Washington next Monday Indiana’s National Guard revision I lan. Anderson said the plan Indiana will recommend to the National Guard Bureau for acceptance under a streamlining program represents a "major revision.” He said Indiana hopes to be the first state to submit its plan and believes that it will be. “I think we have a good plan, a sound plan, and believe it will be acceptable,” Anderson said. The Nation.”! Guard Bureau asked all 50 states to accept revamped troop lists assigned to them under the reorganization. Anderson was in Washington Jan. 9 and accepted the Indiana assignment after conferring with Governor Welsh, who also was in Washington that day. , Anderson said since then his office has been working on the plan for Indiana and expects to “finalize” the plan today, including locations of all units. He will go to Washington Sunday and present the plan Monday Details of the plan will not be announced until after the Pentagon has received it, Anderson said.
