To End Tie-XJp
NEW YORK—CP—Many travellers returning by sea
from abroad had to wrestle their own baggage off ships
Thursday as the port of New York remained tied up by
a strike of 25,000 longshoremen.

and leave New York. The inbound
ones carried thousands' of Ameri-
can and Canadian tourists from
Europe.
White collar and supervisory
workers helped unload baggage
but many passengers had to
struggle with the'r own suit cases
and trunks.
The British liner Britannic put
to .sea without 1,700 tons of cargo
it was to have taken aboard. It
also carried 400 tons of America-
bound cargo which it wouldn't
unload.
The International Longshoremen's Association (Ind.) called
dockers off the'Ncsw York waler
front Wednesday in a d'spute with
thc New Ydrk-Ncw Jersey waterfront commission. The strike Was
spreading.

A New York state Supremo
Court order to halt the strike was
obtained Wednesday by the New

c'als were reported giving preliminary, study to the possibility of
invoking ' provisoes of "the Taft-
Hartley labor law, which permits
the president to seek an so-day
court injunction against continuing
the strike.
