changeably in this bulletin.
Strikes, in this special use, would
thus include lockouts.

in 1964, the nationwide stoppage and one confined to the State of
Michigan. Unless noted otherwise, subsequent references in this
bulletin are to the former stoppage.

This stoppage involved the Pacific Coast Association of
Pulp and Paper Manufacturers and the newly formed Independent
Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers. The developments
leading to the strike were as follows: In May 1964, the Inter
national Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers
and the United Papermakers and Paperworkers— two unions which
had been serving as bargaining agents for the production employees
of the Association's member firms— negotiated a new 1-year
agreement to replace that scheduled to expire at the end of the
month. This agreement was rejected by the rank and file, an
action reportedly resulting more from dissension within the unions
than from dissatisfaction with the contract provisions. The inde
pendent union formed by the dissident group within the established
unions petitioned the NLRB for a representation election in June
1964. In the election which was held in September, this union
polled a majority of the votes and was certified as bargaining
agent. The work stoppage, which began in mid-November, oc
curred during the independent union's efforts to negotiate its
initial agreement with the employer association.
Since there had been a change in bargaining agents, and since
the strike occurred while the new union was striving to negotiate
its first agreement, the stoppage was classified for statistical pur
poses as one arising during the negotiation of the initial agree
ment, rather than as a contract renegotiation dispute.

This stoppage, which precipitated a threat of a
nationwide rail strike, resulted from the ra il
road's refusal to bargain locally on the "w ork
ru le s" issu es on which national agreement had
not been reached.
It was terminated when the
parties agreed to President Johnson's request
for a 15-day status quo period, during which
negotiations would be held on a national basis.
Tentative agreement on all issues in dispute
was announced on Apr. 22, 1964, 2 days b e

1 The New York Shipping Association is authorized to bargain for employer associations in the North Atlantic area with respect
to wages, hours, employer contributions to the welfare and pension funds, and the term of the agreement. Settlements on these
issues, generally referred to as the Master Contract, are then incorporated into local agreements in these ports. Negotiations on
working conditions and other matters are conducted on the local level.
In the South Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports, there are several employer associations and groupings, with separate negotiations
being conducted in Miami, Mobile, New Orleans, and Galveston. Negotiations in these ports are influenced by the New York
settlement, but there is a general tendency to follow the New Orleans agreement on economic issues.
2 Reports were subsequently issued for the following ports: Baltimore, Boston, Charleston, Galveston, Houston, Jacksonville,
Mobile, New Orleans, and Philadelphia.

2 Aggregate figures on workers and strike idleness are rounded to three significant digits. Figures to the right of the third
significant digit appear as zeros; the last digit is always rounded to zero. To illustrate: an unrounded figure of 5,014,000 man-days
would appear as 5,010,000; an unrounded total of 26,457 would be presented as 26,500; and a figure of 493 woikers would appear
as 490. Totals and percentages, however, are computed from unrounded figures.
