Ship Tie-Up: East Coast Dock Strike Halts War Shipments. A strike halting vital war shipments to our fighting forces overseas threatens to spread to other east coast ports, as union leaders are unsuccessful in getting stevedores to return to their jobs, and pleas by military leaders are ignored. VS men (union workers) gathered peaceably outdoors. MS the "Anastasia brothers," apparently accused of links to organized crime. VS idle docks. Military police guard cargo at dock.
