Biographical / Historical
This was a Board of Inquiry appointed by the President under Title 2 of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, because the Longshoremen in all East Coast ports had struck when the old contract expired on September 30, 1953 and terms of a new contract had not been agreed upon. The ILA final proposal asked for 10 cents an hour increase in wages, 3 cents per hour towards welfare benefits, a guarantee of an 8 hour day, and agreement in principle to a Permanent Arbitrators. The Association believed that certain provisions should be included in the contract to conform to the Bi-State Waterfront Commission Act, and recognition of the fact that the APL-CIO had petitioned for an NLRB election, problems which were peculiar to the New York Harbor.
Members of the Board were David L. Cole, chairman, Harry J. Carman and the Rev. Dennis J. Comey. Hearings were held in New York City on October 3, 1953.
