Pickets resumed activity at Hudson River piers after a holiday lull in the International Longshoremen's Association strike extending from Maine to Texas. About 60,000 longshoremen are involved, with vessels allowed to dock if idle. Cargo like three million pounds of potatoes aboard the Glenview may sprout if the strike continues, prompting frustration from South Carolina farmers awaiting delivery.
