Action Postponed on Newport Dock Petition Portland U.R) Federal Judge Gus Solomon has post 'poned action on a National Labor Relations Board pition for a restraining order against threat ened picketing by the teamster's union on the Newport docks. Judge Solomon based the decis ion on the grounds that a simi lar petition is pending in the state courts of Lincoln county. Two Newport companies had filed unfair labor practices charges with the NLRB against the teamsters for picketing and the longshoremen for refusing to work behind the picket lines. The NLRB asked the court to restrain any picketing pending an investigation. Circuit Judge Fred McHenry granted a temporary order against the pickets which was attacked by the unions on the grounds of jurisdiction. Judge McHenry has the case under advisement.
