ILA chief threatens to halt loading grain to Russia
Thomas W. Gleason leader of the ILA pledged to stop loading American wheat for Russia on every ship along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts unless the government fulfills a 50 percent American-ship commitment. Johnson reportedly sought Meany’s help as tensions rose over the Soviet wheat deal and a boycott on three ships in New Orleans and Houston. The AFL-CIO Maritime Trades Department condemned the Elliott Hodges line and urged government action to keep wave ships American-flag. Reynolds met leaders, promising to press for assurances while a resolution denouncing wheat sales to Communist countries passed.
