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.
This collection consists of transcript of the proceedings of the United States Board
of Inquiry to Report on Certain Labor Disputes Affecting the Maritime Industry of
the United States, conducted on October 3, 1953, as well as the Report to the President,
submitted by the Board of Inquiry on December 4, 1953.
