C3B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 2,1980 BY LAUREL SCHAEFF Staff Correspondent STOUCHSBURG - Guernsey breeders from Berks, Lebanon, Schuylkill, and Dauphin Counties gathered Saturday to celebrate the 50th An niversary of their organization. Highlighting the affair which included a luncheon at Kisser’s Restaurant, here, were presentations by Ginger Sechnst, Penn sylvania Guernsey Breeders Association, and Harvey Farm Bureau to sue longshoremens union HOUSTON, TEXAS - The American Farm Bureau Federation and the Texas and Kansas state Farm Bureaus have filed secon dary boycott charges against the International Longshoremen’s Associa tion. The charges were filed in efforts to force the union to load grain shipments bound for the Soviet Union under unfulfilled agreements. Charges were filed with the Houston office of the National Labor Relations Board. A secondary boycott is an illegal union action against parties not directly involved in a labor dispute. Earlier in Phoenix, Arizona, AFBF voting delegates had backed President Carter’s embargo of 17 million metric tons of grain to the USSR. The gram the longshoremen are refusing to load now is not part of the embargoed 17 million tons, but part of an eight million ton com mitment made in a 1975 agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union. Approximately 2.8 million tons of the 8 million ton commitment remain to be shipped. Robert B. Delano, newly elected AFBF president, said the 17 million em bargoed tons are over and above the eight million tons under contract. “We want the people of the world to understand that we keep our commitments,” Delano said. “We had a legal contract to sell to the Soviet Union eight million metric tons of gram, and con sequently we think we should fill that contract and ship them the other 2.8 million tons.” Under NLRB procedures, an investigation will be launched.
