It would be interesting to kno® the exact direction of the “adjustments” that. are periodically made and on whose shoulders the bur- “den falls. Perhaps the answer can be found by this significant quotation from the survey: “although it (the union) has to look out for the wel- ~ fare vf the rank and file of its mem- hers, it calls upon them to make sac- rifices in the interest of extending harmonious relation So the-cat is jet out of the bag! Isn’t it just too bad that the bureaucracy of the union “has to leok out for the welfare of the yank and file of its members!" If it could inst dispense with that entirely, it would perhaps call upon the rank end file members to make even great- er sacrifices — perhaps to work with- » out renuneration” — al! in the in- terest of extending “harmcnious” re- ations to the fullest extent! Har- “mony, while the bosses are cutting Er ' * wages! Prattling about cven extend- ing»the harmoniovs relations, wnile the @mployers are slashing the living standard of the workers; To such depths sink the “abor lieutenants of capitalism” on the muddy road of class collaboration. Nor is this all. The industrial sur- vey continues “it (the union) asserts its readiness to arbitrate. It states that it is not merely concerned with ‘compromising conf ng’ interests but prefers a adjustmen which are to the mutual! advantage wi the employers and the union.” And then, as if to prove that the betray- ers of the workers in the unions have not yet reached a limit of treachery, the survey states: “It (the union) ‘ declares its belief that there is no there is reyealed | { | Deaths among barge and tugboat ‘s are a daily occurrence. | Collisions and drownings iake a heavy yearly toll among these men. | The picture shows one sinking where the tugboat workers had a narrow escape.

The story was told to me by one of |the crew of the Tirpitz. | “We were going thru the Panama {Canal from west to east. Near the |city af Callio on the’ western’ coast, }some sailors were standing on deck singing folk and revolutionary songs. | “The captain heard this and told us |to keep our mouths shut. We refused |because we have a perfect right to |sing. We told him that there were no flunkeys there. “Then the captain came down and asked who was singing. We replied that we had all sung. “The captain violated a law which says that all captains must stay on the bridge when passing thru the Panama Canal. “Seeing that we were all united, the captain wanted to scare us so he grabbed one man by the collar and asked him if he had sung. { “We told the captain to take his hands off our brother. This led to a quarrel which lasted several min- utes’ The quarrel ended when he de- cided to send one sailor and the cap- tain to the nearest German consul. “When they came to the consul, he tried to arbitrate the question. He wanted that particular sailor to apol- ogize to the captain. The man re- fused. Then the consul himself apol- ogized in behalf of the whole crew to the captain, The consul did this because he knew that the captain was passed under t | wrong. | One Dollar Apiece. | “When the boat arrived in New! York harbor. the captain gave every jman_one dollar aniece. The Interna- tional Seamen’s Club gave us a law- ver and we wanted to sue the captain |for more money.

Paul Orlac, a pianist, who loses his hands in a railroad accident, a has Mueller, of the S. S. Tirpitz, | was the main speaker. He said in part: “Tt is a shame for every German sea- man to receive such treatment as we do, Germany is not as free as you people in America imagine. We are not allowed to sing. When you do, you are punished. “We can change the German sea- men’s ordinance by organizing x strong seamen’s union on a revolu- tionary basis. We call upon all sea- men for unity in our common strug- gle. We call upon the German labor parties and the trade union congress to support us. We will not make any compromises with the capitalists. “We call upon the labor fractions inthe Reichstag to help us, gain our demands. Do not rely too ‘much on the Reichstag, too, for our battles will have to be fought over the street bar- ricades, 50,000 to: Organize. Mueller compared the life of the German seamen with the Russian sea- men, “In the Soviet Union they get a vacation with pay. In Germany they get nothing. Only 8,500 German seamen are organized out of a total of 50,000. The fish we eat is decayed and the meat stinks.” The speaker then thanked the In- ternational- Seamen’s Club for their help im arranging this meeting. Another said that the German trade union congress is not becoming revo- lutionary. It is becoming reactionary. A resolution was then unanimously adopted protesting against the Ger-! man men’s™ordinance of 1902. It calls upon the German government to | annul the act. Further it calls upon The chairman then spoke in Eng- lish, Mueller then summed up. Hé’ said, “The Soviet Union is our fatherland.” This was followed by long applause. He denounced the German social-dem- ocratic leaders for their neglect in not organizing the German seamen. He ended by saying, “The victory is ours.” ] The meeting was.closed with the singing of the International and the! salute of the Red Front Fighters. As the seamen filed out of the hall they sang a song about Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. —A. B. S.

The report says in part: “Harmony prevailed at the meeting” which was held under the auspices of the recently incorporated “Mexican Mutual Aid Society of Imperial Val- ley,” a different atmosphere entirely from the prevailing situation a month ‘ago when Mexican meetings were for- bidden by the sheriff's orders and many were in jail for conducting sim- ilar congregations.” Well, the Mexicans went on strike and came, out victors over Sheriff Gil- lett and the growers. Will the A, F. L. call a general strike to force the authorities to release Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings?
