SERVICE

This original brass key opened the door, in the 1890's, to one of several

Gillen had another key in those days and still has it... the key to pro- viding the finest in lighterage and towing services. We will be happy to show you how long experience and the best equipment can open the door for you ... to better service keyed to your needs.

LIGHTERAGE AND TOWING

WEST END AVENUE, OYSTER BAY, NEW YORK, N.Y. 11771 • 212-895-8110 dores have both a large fiduciary interest in the way of pier rentals and equipment, as well as in moving cargo of all descriptions for their clients—whether container or breakbulk car- riers. The contracting stevedores do not own ships or transport waterborne cargo. As han- dlers of tonnage across the docks, their pri- mary interest lies in increasing the volume and keeping the Port competitive.

Speaking on behalf of the new board, Mr.

Dickman, president, said: "Our objective in the coming negotiations with the I LA is to achieve a contract that is equitable, that can be lived with by all segments of the industry, and that will sustain and strengthen the com- petitive position of this great port. With the united support of our membership, I am con- fident we can achieve these goals."
