Longshoremen Walk Out as Taft-Hartley Invoked
NEW YORK AP Longshoremen walk off Atlantic and Gulf coast docks after contract expiry. Within hours President Kennedy invoked the Taft-Hartley Act, creating a board of inquiry to report by Thursday and possibly trigger an 80 day cooling off period. ILA president William V. Bradley declared no work until a favorable contract is signed. Negotiations with the New York Shipping Association collapsed Saturday, leaving cargo backlogs and widespread disruption.
