Biggest Peacetime Shipping Boom Seem In S.F.; Many More Maritime Jobs Center for Labor Education & Research, University of Hawaii - West Oahu: Honolulu Record Digitization Project Honolulu Record, Volume 9 No. 24, Thursday, January 10, 1957 p. 6 Biggest Peacetime Shipping Boom Seem In S.F.; Many More Maritime Jobs A boom in Pacific shipping so big that it is estimated from1 500 to 2 000 new jobs will open up for seamen in San Francisco alone has already begun with volume enough to cause a shortage of longshoremen papers from the Bay City report. Last week after everyone agreed a number of ship sailings had been delayed by a shortage of stevedores Paul St Sure president of the Pacific Maritime Assn said the [?]eups are the result of a combination of natural causes.
He refuted charges against the ILWU in the situation saying the union is not to blame nor is it hogging jobs for its members and refusing to allow non-members seeking employment to work. Instead, St Sure said, the volume of cargo has increased, and a considerable backlog from the ILA strike on the East Coast was involved. But Ray Christiansen waterfront reporter for the San Francisco Examiner pointed out in a lengthy piece last Friday that the biggest peacetime boom ever to hit the port is in the making. Some 30 or more ships will be sailing out of San Francisco this year he says including four large passenger ships the Matsonia the Monterey the Leilani and the Panama which will be renamed for some American President. Millions more tons of cargo will enter through the port he adds and each ton puts another $10 in circulation in the Bay area. Freighters For Grain About 18 of the 30 ships are being pulled out of the mothball fleet to haul grain to the Far East Christiansen writes, and more may be brought into trade later. Tonnage through the port last year was some 100,000 tons more during the months from July 1 to Nov 30 than during the same period last year.
No labor dispute is anticipated for the coming year, the waterfront writer says, and there seems little likelihood of work stoppages since the recent history of labor there 'shows that there has been a growing union responsibility.' Harbor authorities have just completed a $2,000,000 short-range program to improve the Port of San Francisco to keep pace with the boom says Christiansen, and more of such improvements are in the making. Even shipbuilders on the West Coast are hoping to get contracts for some of the 65 tankers the Maritime Administration has authorized though it is believed the majority of this building will be done in the East. But if quicker delivery is desired the San Francisco builders believe they may get a share of the contracts even though it be a comparatively small one. B 'pool of 500 men would' be established to handle extra work in San Francisco. These men will report for work regularly and draw 80 per cent of the Class A longshoremen's pay so long as the ship-ping boom continues. 'Deadwood' To Be Eliminated Rohatch also announced the local will create a union program to weed out the 'deadwood,' men who remain on the rolls of the union for, insurance, benefits and no longer really work at the piers.
Also, the Local 10 president said, an effort will be made to discourage a practice prevalent among some companies, of ordering larger and more gangs than they have work for, then paying off the men with a half-day's pay. Rohatch added that efficiency might be increased if one security pass is issued to a longshoreman to admit him to any commercial or military pier.
At present, different outfits require then own separate passes and do not honor others. Men in the B Class pool who fail to report to work when called, Rohatch said, will be dropped from the rolls and get no further chance to join the Class A registration list All these plans, the Local 10 president emphasized, are subject to approval of the membership of the local.
