Demands Are
“Irreconcilable’*1
HONOLULU, (/P)—Striking CIO
longshoremen were hot yesterday
for arbitration of Hawaii’s 59-day
waterfront strike. Employers were
cold.
This reaction was to a proposal
that President Truman appoint an
impartial board of arbirtation to
settle the tieup. The proposal was
made in Washington Monday by
Senator Morse <R.-Ore.> who used
to be Pacific Coast maritime arbi
trator.
The strike strategy committee
of Harry Bridges’ international
longshoremen’s and warehouse
men’s union quickly issued a
statement promising to resume
work “at once in every port in
Hawaii” if Mr. Truman names an
arbitration board.
"We pledge our word to be
bound by every decision of the
board if set up,” the ILWU state
ment said.
Later, this statement was issued
by W. Russell Starr, employer ne
gotiating chairman:
“We have arbitration in its pro
per field—the settlement of griev
ances under existing contracts. To
extend it to the determination of
future wage rates is wrong and i>
not generally accepted by man
agement on the mainland.
“Harry Bridges and his union
have opposed arbitration when it
suited them. They advocate it now
because their demand for a 32
cents hourly wage increase can
not be justified in collective bar
gaining."
Two thousand stevedores struck
May 1 to boost their $1.40 an hour
wage to $1.72, ten cents under the
Pacific Coast scale.
Negotiation talks Monday last
ed only 55 minutes. A union
spokesman said the wage positions
were “absolutely irreconcilable.”
