DIFFICULT TASK
QUEEN MARY DOCKS UNAIDED BY TUGS ON ACCOUNT OF NEW YORK STRIKE. STOPPAGE BY'LONGSHOREMEN AVERTED. * (Received This Day, 9.25 a.m.) NEW YORK, October 18. The Queen Mary, with 1,600 passengers aboard, achieved the most difficult task of docking under her own power, in thirty-four minutes, arriving at the pier unaided by tugs, owing to a strike of 2000 tug workers. Thus was averted a possible longshoremen’s walkout, if non-union tugs had been used, thereby tying up the port.
