Dockers Urged To End Strike As Negotiations Resume
Labor Secretary Wirtz urges both dock workers and ship owners to renew talks for the national interest amid a six day East and Gulf Coast strike. ILA chief negotiator says only a shipowner move can break the stalemate. Violence erupts as a worker is shot crossing a picket line in Galveston. 60,000 longshoremen halt port activity, with exemptions for military and emergency cargo. Wirtz schedules talks with the New York Shipping Association and the ILA. Gleason says a shipper proposal is needed, and ratification by members delays quick settlement.
