Court Injunction Forces End to New York Waterfront Strike

The New York New Jersey Water Front Commission obtained a New York State Supreme Court injunction to halt a 99 day waterfront strike by the International Longshoremen's Association. Justice Thomas J Brady signed the order enjoining ILA and all locals in New York from continuing or participating in the strike. Police protected AFL dock workers as they entered Pier 84 to operate the liner Vulcania, while ILA pickets faced dispersal by officers. The injunction and surrounding events reflect a heated jurisdictional dispute over waterfront control.
