Last Minute Parley Ends In Deadlock
New York reports that Joseph Curran president of the CIO National Maritime Union said he and his relocation were invited out of a conference with shipowners and predicted a work stoppage at midnight tomorrow. Curran termed the action a lockout and noted no contract exists after June 15. The NMU and three other unions had begun strike preparations amid five allied unions and a new pact with west coast shippers. The labor department telegram and stalled negotiations left the 39-shipper meeting inconclusive as Curran pledged to fight the lockout and members prepared for possible weekend round the clock actions.
