NEW YORK AP The AFLCIO International Longshoremen Association plans a four hour tie up today from 8 a.m. to noon as a show of sympathy with New York longshoremen striking against labor recruitment on Newark New Jersey docks. The move follows the Newark plans to expand the 22 000 member register to add 750 dock workers, a measure the ILA says bypasses its contract and discriminates against men at other New York ports with limited seniority. Gleason notes there is not enough work for all idle men in the port.
