Government Attempts To Avert Dock Strike
New York and Baltimore face wildcat dock walkouts as Johnson aides move to halt the labor action. James J. Reynolds flies to Houston for talks with AFL-CIO and shippers while W. Willard Wirtz weighs a settlement. In New York, 700 of 12,009 dock workers are idle as 92 ships berthed but only 30 worked. Baltimore sees meetings break up with 1,000 workers involved and cargo handling suspended at several berths. Union leaders had backed a four year contract with wage gains and a gradual wartime wage rollback plan, with hourly pay rising from 3.26 to 3.62 by 1968.
