West Coast May Go
Out In Sympathy
With Hawaii Strike
HONOLULU, <#») — The threat
to spread Hawaii’s 96-day dock
tie-up to the mainland ballooned
yesterday. A union spokesman
said CIO Pacific Coast longshore
men can walk out to support the
strikers.
The reason, said Robert W. Mc
Elrath. is that the West Coast con
tract never has been ratified by
the rank and file ot' the ILWU. He
is the ILWU press spokesman
here.
ILWU headuarters in San Fran
cisco has advised the Pacific
Coast contract will not be ratified
“if Hawaii employers and their
agents in the Territorial govern
ment continue with their strike
breaking program,’’ McEl rath
said.
Coast longshoremen, he said in
a radio address Wednesday night,
have worked under a “back to
work” memorandum since Dec. 6,
1948. That was the date of sign
ing a contract ending a 95-dav
West Coast dock strike.
This memorandum. McElrath
VANCOUVER, B. C. <7P>—Tuna
fishermen don’t like the price be
ing paid by packers and may go
into a cooperative venture to pack
their own catch.
That’s the report of Capt. Nor
man Ryall, a leading Vancouver
tuna fisherman. Ryall landed
7,500 pounds of tuna here last
week, but put it in cold storage.
He said fishermen are up in
arms about the price schedule
which offers payment of $350 to
$380 a ton this year as compared
with 1948’s $600 to $650 a ton.
asserted, was to be effective until
the ILWU membership approved
or rejected the general contract.
Meanwhile, all negotiations to
end the Hawaii tie-up were at a
standstill.
The Hawaii legislature, in the
midst of effort to pass a bill aimed
at ending the strike by putting the
government in the Stevedoring
business, recessed until today.
Both House and Senate Wednes
day bowed to Gov. Ingram M.
Stainback’s last minute plea to
modify a House-approved bill
banning the use of strikers or
management employees. They
passed resolutions giving the gover
nor a free hand in hiring workers.
