Longshoremen strike threatens fast perishables supply
In New York and New Orleans longshoremen walked out as three year contracts expired, risking shortages of fast perishable goods. ILA AFL CIO demanded job security and funded benefits while extending a strike to bulk cargo in New Orleans. Containerized cargo, including foods and some autos, faced disruption as ships evacuated to sea. Negotiations with Southern port shippers continued, with the strike potentially shrinking if a broadened job security plan gains wider support.

Missing Maryland man declared legally dead after seven years
Reuben Upton Darby II, once a Baltimore area entrepreneur, was ruled legally dead after a 1 minute hearing in Washington County Circuit Court. His wife Seba Darby testified of threats and a home fire threat, while son Reuben A Darby I searched from Alaska to Mexico with no findings. Investigators noted multiple debts and past ventures, including a railroad revival effort, with no clear whereabouts or evidence of foul play found. The court expects the declaration to be filed Monday, potentially unlocking life insurance and debt settlement actions for Darby’s beneficiaries.
