night conference last night be
tween the waterfront employers

checkers and supercargoes. Previ
ously contract extension agree
ments were reached by Harry
Bridges’ CIO longshoremen, the
CIO marine engineers beneficial

for expiration of maritime con
tracts passed with no noticeable
affect on the west coast water
front other than the indirect af

tracts are working. The other two
unions which have not received
contracts are still negotiating.,
Anything can happen—there may j
be a settlement or a lockout.”
