Living Landmark To Irony Harry Bridges
Harry Bridges, aged 73, a longtime West Coast longshoremen leader, survived Hoover era anti Communist campaigns and now serves as elder statesman of labor. The ILWU chief faces a potential retirement next April after internal dissent on merger moves, yet remains active, writing On The Bay and guiding negotiations amid a career marked by strikes, deportation battles, and decades of labor influence.
