Last week there was a split in the shipowners' ranks, as 27 coastwise companies made separate overtures to the longshoremen, the chief Pacific union with which they were concerned since they hire almost all their seamen on the cheaper Atlantic. Deep-sea Pacific shippers still were obliged to consider all maritime unions. With this schism in sight, Harry Bridges...
