Judge orders West Coast longshore union to show cause
Federal judge in San Francisco orders the West Coast longshore union to show cause why it should not be held in contempt for defying a court order to resume work. Dockworkers in Los Angeles and Long Beach refused to handle ships in a dispute over first jobs, prompting planned meetings between employers and the union to resolve the dispute. Local stoppages have shut down clockwork in Los Angeles, caused isolated slowdowns in San Francisco Bay, and prompted Seattle longshoremen to employ slowdown tactics.
