New York -- Pier Picketed in Maritime Strike -- Members of the National Maritime Union picket a Farrell Lines pier on the Brooklyn waterfront today as seamen began a strike that could tie up the nation's merchant fleet. One of the key points in the dispute with shipowners over a new contract is whether American-owned foreign flag vessels should be unionized.
