federal order restraining

government of laws.”

Grant praises maritime union restraint
destined for delivery to the
Soviet Union. The NLRB
order came some five weeks
after the unions agreed to a
settlement stipulation that
they would discontinue the
practice.
Grant said the NLRB
order ending union in
terference in Soviet gram
dealings does not repair the
damage of the 1975 union
boycott, but agriculture is
hopeful that it will stand as a
landmark precedent to head
off any future violations of
free trade by intervening
special interests.

highest incidence of rabies
with three cases being
reported, all of which were
bats.
No rabies cases were
detected in the first three
months of 1976. In April of
this year one rabid bat was
reported from York County.
Three rabid bats, one from
Northumberland County and
two from Allegheny County
were detected in May. One
bat from Bucks County was
diagnosed rabies positive in
June.
The NLRB order marks
the Completion of action
started August 25, 1975, by
the AFBF, Texas and
Kansas Farm Bureaus when
they filed a complaint in the
Houston regional office of
the NLRB charging the
International Longshore
men’s Association with
engaging in unfair labor
practices.
V he Farm Bureaus based
their complaint on the fact
that the ILA in August, 1975,
engaged in and encouraged a
work stoppage of ships being

loaded for the Soviet Union
at the Houston and
Beaumont, Texas ports.
On September 19, 1975, the
acting general counsel of the
NLR board authorized the
issuance of a formal com
plaint, after investigating
the charges filed by the
Farm Bureaus that the ILA
and two local ILA unions had
conducted an illegal
secondary boycott in
refusing to load the ship
Bosanka with Soviet
purchased grain. The NLRB
found that the ILA violated
provisions of ,the National
Labor Relations Act
prohibiting secondary
boycotts.
On April 24, 1976, the
NLRB submitted a cease and
desist order agreement to
the ILA and the Farm
Bureaus which was signed
by all parties. Approval of
the agreement by the NLR
board came June 22, 1976.
Grant said that the refusal
in August, 1975, of the ILA to
load Soviet-bound grain
ships, “was a patent
deception by the union to
pressure the Administration
to order a substantial portion
of the grain to be shipped in
American vessels.” He
added, “Union wage scales
on the American ships raised
maritime costs well above
the world rates and are paid
in great part by American
taxpayers under the terms of
a general maritime subsidy.
Government estimates are
that American grain going to
the Soviet Union this year
will cost U.S. taxpayers
about $BO million in subsidies
for ship operators and
workers.”
Grant recalled that the
Ford Administration
capitulated to the union
demands by halting sales of
U.S grains to the Soviet
Union from August 11, 1975,
until late October, 1975, when
the United States signed a
five-year grain sales
agreement with the Soviet
Union. A companion
agreement provided a $16.00
a ton minimum rate for
shipping grain to Russia,

“The government action in
negotiating sales and
shipping agreements with
the Soviet Union that set
price terms and locked in a
maritime subsidy on behalf
of organized labor only
compounded the damage
done to U.S. export
markets,” Grant said.
