Despite stiffened employer resistance and a labor position weakened by inter-union feuds, longshoremen were not quite willing to grant the outright guarantee against outlaw "quickies" which President Almon Roth of the Pacific Coast Waterfront Employers Association originally demanded. Instead the Bridges union agreed to punish contract violators by suspension or expulsion, to put disputed cases up to five permanent arbitrators, in no event to stop work while the new peace machinery functions.
