Original Toronto Star caption: Longshoremen mill about the water-front while a ship lies idle in the background on the second day of a wildcat walkout by 500 stevedores. The men said they won't go back to work until their newly elected business manager is installed in office. Two factions are fighting for control of Local 1842. Walkout costs shipowners $1;200 to $3;000 a day.
