Police Escort Curran
From Hall as Foes Bar
Vote on NMU Contract
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 8.—Joseph
Curran, president of the CIO Na
tional Maritime Union, left a hall
under police escort last night at the
end of a noisy, disorderly meeting
of 3,200 tanker crew members of his
union.
The meeting was called to ratify
a contract agreement announced a
week ago between the union and 11
tanker companies.
The meeting ended without a vote
on the pact. Later, however, Mr.
Curran said he considered the
agreement adopted because of votes
of acceptance from tanker crew
members in other ports.
Hope Pact Will Set Pattern.
Some negotiators have said they
hoped the tanker agreement would
serve as a pattern for a settlement
to ward off a maritime strike on all
coasts threatened for June 15 when
various union contracts expire.
1 Mr. Curran’s efforts to obtain a
vote on the agreement at last night’s
meeting w'ere greeted by a barrage
of pennies, pitched onto the stage
of Manhattan Center by those op
posing approval of the pact. They
1 objected to the amount of a pay in
crease agreed on.
The agreement provided a $5-a
month wage increase for most un- j
licensed seamen as well as other j
benefits and extended the current |
j tanker contract, which expires June j
15, for two years. It also continued j
the union "hiring hall" method of
employing ere wmembers—a major
objective of the union.
Pennies Dropped in I.ap.
At, one point during the turbulent,
meeting one of the tanker crew
members leaped to the stage, gath
ered up the pennies and dropped
the minto Mr. Curran's lap.
Mr. Curran promptly adjourned
the meeting.
Several police officers then
mounted the stage and left the hall
with the union official.
Outside the hall Mr. Curran said
to newsmen:
•'What a meeting!"
The 3 4-hour meeting was noisy
throughout.
Leading the opposition to ratifi
cation of the contract, which Mr.
Curran favored, was Paul Palazzi,
NMU port agent for New York.
Disagree About Threat.
Mr. Curran and Frank J. Taylor,
chairman of a committee repre
senting Atlantic and Gulf Coast
ship owners, disagreed yesterday
over the seriousness of the effects
of the threatened strike.
Mr. Taylor told a presidential
j fact-finding board that such a
j walkout would be "nothing short
of a national disaster."
He said it also would affect ship
ments under the European Recovery
.Program and shipments to American
armed forces in Europe.
Disputing Mr. Taylor's conten
tions, Mr. Curran told the board that
"over 50 per cent of the freight in i
and out of this country is carried in
'foreign bottoms, so the 'national \
disaster’ falls of its own w'eight."
Five CIO unions, with a combined
membership of 150,000, are involved
