PhiUy Dock Strike Looms PHILADELPHIA UP -Some 4,500 longshoremen boycotted voting on a contract offer from employer! Thursday and a union spokesman said a strike was next Tuesday, when an fiO- day injunction invoked by President Eisenhower expires. The dock workers lived vip to a statement made two weeks ago when they announced they would ignore the balloting. They claimed the latest contract proposal was not an since it was not made to the union locals individually. The workers are members of five locals of the International Association. The balloting on the contract offer was sponsored by the National Labor Relations Board under the terms of the Taft-Hartley Act.

Teamsters (Continued from Page One) Beck would return and submit to questioning. Here is what the Teamsters constitution, approved at the 1952 union convention where Beck was elected president, has to say on the subject of his travels and health: general president, for the purpose of promoting the interests and welfare of the international union and the making of diplomatic contracts with other organizations and institutions, and lor tiie purposes of conserving his health, may in his discretion travel in this country or abroad and may take periodic rests. Included among the other and the union has financed for its president are his IlftO.OOO Seattle home and all the furniturie in it.

The imminent walkout, which would affect some 25,000 dock-workers, added to the woes of the busiest port, afe-eady burdened by aiT eight-day tugboat strike that has cut off 70 per cent of fuel deliveries to the greater New York area.

Dock workers in other ports tween Portland, and Hampton Roads, also are expected to walk out on Tuesday when an 80-day cooling-off injunction expires. The injunction, issued at the request of the federal government under a provision of the Taft Hartley law, temporarily halted a nine-day strike of longshoremen along Atlantic and Gulf Coasts last November. The strike became a virtual certainty last night when the National Labor Relations Board an nounced that the rank and file members of the International Association had turned down, by a vote of 14,458 to 1,185, a contract offered by the New York Shipping Association.
