Men Prepare to Resist Sell-Out Men Doubt “ ew Deal” and Officials in Nego- struggle for higher wages and | tiations for New Agreement; Dissension in Ranks of Local 1291 By W. ©. McCUISTION. Last year the deep-water longshoremen of Philadelphia were members of Local 1116 of the International Longshore- men’s Association, affiliated to the A. F. of L. The wage nego- tiations last year as in previous years, were conducted by the officials of the IL.L.A. Last year, however, the rank and file of the I.L.A. openly rebelled against the bureaucracy of the leadership. A few days before the new agreement was signed, the longshoremen marched from an? open air meeting held by the Marine | Workers Industrial Union to the LL. A. Hall, and there demanded an open meeting to discuss the negotiations and to act upon the proposed agreement. | This opposition, although broad in | leadership. | character, was without ‘The I.L.A. officials were able to iso- late the militants and sign the new} agreement. Despite the looseness of | the opposition, the I.L.A. officials were | unable to stop its growth, and as the} militancy increased the fakers sought new methods to keep control. A few) meetings were called, but at each of) these meetings the demagogy of the le: led and motions were carried by the membership to remove t leadership. The offi- cials @eclared the motions ‘unconsti- ona)’ and hastily adjourned the meetings. This Ligh-hanced procedure weak- ened the position of the bureaucrats so they resorted to their “ace in the hole,” revoked the charter of Local 1116 and established a new Local 1291 with the same officials.

The present longshore scale for coastwise long- shoremen is from 40c to 65c per hour. The I.L.A. deep-water agreement calls for 75e per hour straight time. In- dependent companies pay as low as 25c per hour, The number of men employed in loading and unloading a ship has been reduced by half. The amount of cargo these men must handle has been more than doubled. Safety and sanitary provisions have been practically eliminated, and graft and favoritism are found on every dock and in every gang. The Marine Workers Industrial Union continues to organize these groups and campaign for rank and file con- trol of the I.L.A. At the same time the M.W.LU. is actively working to organize the unorganized and to de- velop dock and action committees to struggle against the already miser- able wages and conditions and for the demands of the rank and file lJongshoremen contained in the rank and file longshoremen’s “code.” The longshoremen are moving! They will answer the attacks of the shipowners with the workers’ weapon which is being used everywhere. The long- shoremen will strike! Our task is to prevent the rank and file from being isolated from the coming struggle and to isolate the fakers of the I-L.A. by developing an understanding and| acceptance of the correct class-strug- | gle policy, methods and tactics of struggle.

Since the | convention, for the first time in many years, struggles for an increase in wages, improvement of conditions, National Convention of the| have taken place under the leader- | ship of the M.W.LU. These attempts | M.W.I.U. aroused the mass sen-i mark the beginning of mass strikes in the industry, offering the possibil- ities of rapidly building a mass Ma- rine Workers Industrial Union. The code of demands for the ma- rine industry, covering seamen, long- shoremen, harbor workers, worked out at the convention has received wide popularity in all ports, Mass support of these demands, and strikes that were being conduct- ed, forced General Johnson to give a hearing to the delegation authorized to present them, The M.W.I.U. dele- gation was the only trade union that succeeded in forcing an interview with Johnson and in breaking the silence of the capitalist press in con- nection with delegations representing T.U.U.L. unions, The Strike of the Diamond Cement The strike of the Diamond Cement, which forced a $15 increase in wages and improved conditions, had a far- reaching effect although it directly involved only 25 or 30 men. In sup- port of this strike, a united front of thousands of seamen and longshore- men, employed and unemployed, Ne- gro and white, was formed. Although Baltimore officials of the I.L.A. were opposed to the strike, the rank and file supported it. A crew of unem- ployed shipped from New York re- fused to work thé ship when they reached Baltimore, The strike of the Diamond Cement was carried on in the ports of Bal- timore, Philadelphia and New York, and a mass boycott declared against one shipping shark because of scab herding. One of the distinguishing features of this strike and most strikes in the marine industry, is the fact that this small strike immediately involved the masses in other ports and necessitated @ prompt reaction by the M.W.LU. in at least four ports. Without a func- tioning apparatus in these ports even | } mall strike would not have been carried on successfully. One of the main weaknesses of this strike re- sulted from the failure of the Phila- delphia T.U.U.L. and Party to under- stand this fact, and the consequent weak mobilization for support of the struggle. The strike of the “Diamond Cement,” followed by one on the “Cornore” for higher wages, roused the seamen in many ports, and already there are indications that many other ship crews are preparing for action. Longshoremen Swing Into Action ‘The progress made among the long- shoremen since the convention has been the most encouraging since the birth of the union. Nine hundred Jongshoremen are on strike in St. Louis, under the leadership of the M.W.1.U., for an increase in wages. Several hundred of these have or- ganized the St. Louis Branch of the M.W.LU. In Savannah several hun- dred Negro longshoremen have ap- plied for a charter from the M.W.L.U. One of the most significant strug- gles carried through in this period among longshoremen in Norfolk re- sulted in winning relief for unem- ployed members. The mass struggles, long maturing in the marine industry, are rapidly reaching a head. Sentiment for the M.W.I.U. has never been stronger and a campaign for the recruiting of thousands of new members is being launched. Quo- tas are being set by each branch, and the utmost attention being paid to the consolidation of ship groups, the maintenance of close contact with all ship groups, in preparation for the calling of conferences in the near future to discuss action on a mass Scale, In order to carry through the tasks immediately confronting the union a campaign has been launched for a $1,000 Fighting Fund. Such a fund is immediately needed and all work~- ers and sympathizers interested in building a revolutionary union in the marine industry should join with the seamen and Jongshoremen in sup- porting this fund. Collections should be taken up aboard ship, at meetings and affairs, and sent immediately to the National Office, Marine Workers Industrial Union, 140 Broad St., New York City. (By a Seaman Correspondent) Aboard Fellow workers: This 20,000 ton ship, Santa Elena of the Grace Line, is operated on deck by 8 A.B.’s, 4 Ordinaries and the Bosun. They work two twelve hour shifts (you couldn’t call them watches) but ac- tually work only about 914 hours of the twelve at present. This trip they fired the two salon deckmen, so we will find the shift pretty well filled up. Besides, they gave the Bosun and Ordinaries a cut. The Bosun was cut from $65 to $58.50. The Ordinaries got a dollar taken off their $38.50. They won’t cut the A.B.’s till later, when the OS. has got used to their cut, “DON'T CALL THEM WATCHES ON GRACE LINE” —WRITES SAILOR ‘The Quartermasters work four on and eight off, but the watch below is broken into with a field day of four hours shining brass and clean- ing woodwork, or anything else. So they work a 12-hour day too. Last winter Mr. Grace was blessed by the Pope because he gave his ships Saint’s names, and chipped in a chunk of dough for the church. That blessing is passed on to the crews in the form of more work and less pay. What these ships need, and some of us are working for, is three watches full crews and full wages like the MWIU calls for in its code of demands, —Afi B. jand his young wife bummed their KILL DOCKER Safety Law Ignored in Olympia, Washington (By a Worker Correspondent) | A few weeks ago Paddy Morris and Bjorkland, I.L.A. delegates, held a meeting in Olympia with 13 men present. At that time they told the men that the NRA gave them the right to join a labor organization. Several weeks later Tom Evans, man- ager for the Olympia Stevedoring Co. also held a meeting. He told them that ‘hey ‘ad the right to organize under the NRA, but they could join either the ILA or build a company union like the Loyal Legion of Log- gers and Lumbermen, Bjorkland and Paddy Morris got the group to apply for a charter. This is the first time any LLA. organizers have been around here. Six years they had a charter but the organization died off. They never} conducted struggles and the workers left it alone. But now, with the! Company’s permission, they are active once more. On the Norwich City four years ago they were handling such heavy loads that gear and four booms and masts were pulled down. Yet, these ILA fakirs never even let a peep out of them. Two weeks ago on the T. & O. Liner a winch driver was killed while handling a deck load. On this ship the winches are sticky and hard to control, never overhauled, and are working with sticks lashed to the valves, the oiler goes around with wrench in his pocket, a can of oil, looks at the winches with the yowl of the officers ringing in his ears: Let Go! Winch drivers, when hand- ling a deck load are by law supposed to stand on a platform above the load, but this is not done so this worker was caught like a rat in a trap and killed. The ILA did nothing, —H. Jackson. Seamen Church Outfit Makes Woman Slave; Charges Her For It (By a Seaman Correspondent) MARCUS HOOK, Pa.—Hyar Fellers: Passing through Marcus Hook the other day, I stopped by the Sea- men’s Church Institute and got talk- ing to some of the fellows there I met. It seems the SCI has a new racket. On investigation this is what I found out. About six weeks ago an engineer way in there from Galveston and asked for relief. They got relief for a couple of days and then the en- gineer caught a job on a Sun Oil Tanker. The Holy Racketeer promised the engineer he would take care of his wife. This is how he did it. He gave said wife a room in the Holy of Holies (that’s the 50c joint, not the 25¢ one. They are kept separate). He got her to do the housekeeping and cleaning of this dump which is a day’s work in itself any day, and she kept the place clean and made beds there, doing a nice job by all accounts. A few weeks later the husband came back and the Rev. had the collossal gell i> poss him a bill which in- cluded the light and gas bill, for his wife’s room and board.

ON CAPITOL HILL WHILE GREEN FAULTY WINCHES | THE GHOST OF ROMANCE FLITS BY INA TRANCE Seamen Face More Hunger in Code Given by Bosses International Seamen’s Union Officials Aid in Move to Put Over $40 Month Scale for Sailors By JOHN ADAMS The “new deal” is on its way for over 100,000 American seamen and it is opened with deuces from the coldest deck ever dealt. The American Steamship Owners Association proposes $40.00 a month as the “minimum” wage for able bodied seamen, and equally low wages in all other de- partments. This announcement is greeted with “indignation” by Silas Axtel Victor Oleander and the other traitors of the International Seamen’s Union. One would think that they had nothing to do with the drafting of this code, yet the contrary is the fact, The proof? Victor Oleander, vice-president of the LS.U. and “head” of the alleged Great Lakes section, was drafted onto the National Recovery Administra- tion board as the “representative” of the seamen. The New York Times of Sept. 5 states that “several shipping men, representatives of the prominent pas- senger and freight lines, have been invited to Washington to talk over the code with Shipping Board men and William Davis, NRA deputy.” Oleander was then a member of NRA. Not a word of what was going on in these secret conferences was given to the seamen, Joseph P, Ryan, head of the racketeer ruled International Longshoremen’s Association, and Oleander were invited and attended, while # representative of the Marine Workers Industrial Union was refused admittance. As late as Sept. 12, Davis sent a letter to the M.W.LU. denying that any code was submitted or that one was “expected within the next two weeks.” Yet on Sept. 14 the capital- ist press announces that a code is ready for submission. The gentlemen heading the 1.5.U. are reported to have held a meeting in the office of Axtell. At this meet- ing they authorized Axtell to be their spokesman. Axtell was disbarred by even the corrupt courts of New York for his defrauding seamen in: acci- dent cases. With a record like this behind him Axtell stated: “I do not believe that ported code once the conditions un« der which American seamen work become known to him.” Endeavoring to get the seamen to place their con- fidence in the general and NRA, Ax- tell conceals the fact that Oleander is on NRA and that the NRA iteelf admits it accepts only the codes pro- posed by the bosses. He further states, “I fear that thousands of seamen will walk off American ships’ What is to be “feared” by the seamen if they do walk off and tie up American ship- ping and enforce their demands? Nothing; but Axtell voices the “fear” of the bosses, whom he really rep- resents. Axtell goes on to state that the 1S.U. is in favor of three watches, but opposed to four watches. Why is the LS.U. opposed to four watches? ‘This would mean more work for the thousands of jobless seamen. It is looked on by sailors internationally as one of their major demands. Following this opposition to four watches (and when did the ISU, ever fight for three or for anything beneficial to the seamen, for that matter?) Axtell advances an unheard- of, utopian “demand,” “We are for the carrying of extra men in case of sickness or accident among the crew,” Axtell states. He doesn’t. state whether or not these men are to be paid and thus leaves the door open for legalizing workaways. The real demand is for full time off equal to any such work done, and payment of overtime, along with increase of the manning scale as demanded in the code of the Marine Workers - trial Union. What must be done? The Marine Workers Industrial Union has already had its code endorsed by over 11,000 seamen and endorsements are still pouring in. It did what no other Jabor organization has been able te do: forced General Johnson to hear a delegation authorized to present its code. ‘The code submitted By the M-W.L.U. calls for the payment of the 1929 Shipping Board scale, increase of manning scale by 3371-3 per cent, and & MINIMUM YEARLY PAY AT THE AB. RATE OF $62.50 or $625.00 a year for 40 weeks, no .workaways, full time off for extra work because no navigation needs, eté.
