Longshoremen in New York Harbor Enter Fifth Day of Tieup
Longshoremen in the port of New York continued a five day work stoppage as union leader Thomas Gleason warned it is hard to predict when men will return to the docks. A Waterfront Commission spokesman said only workers handling military cargo reported for duty on the New York and New Jersey sides. About 22,000 registered longshoremen saw 70 ships idle while roughly 3,000 demonstrated around the city. The stoppage began Monday in opposition to a plan to hire 50 new longshoremen for automated piers at Port Newark and Port Elizabeth, New Jersey.
