Code Draft Cheers Unity Call Made at I. S. U. Membership Meeting NEW YORK.—Cheering and ap- Plauding, two hundred seamen, mem- bers of the International Seamen’s Union, expressed their approval of the unity proposals of the Marine Workers Industrial Union, Thursday night. The sailors, representing all de- partments, had been called to a “mass organization” meeting by the misleaders of the I. S. U. There, Axtell, disbarred and fraudulent law- yer, presented the ‘‘code” for the in- dustry. It made no provision for the unemployed seamen, who are in the majority, or for a guaranteed min- imum yearly wage. These omissions were pointed out by Howard J. Farmer, longshore or- ganizer of the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union, who addressed the men. Farmer secured the floor after the membership had roared a demand for allowing him to enter. His cre- dentials were read by the chairman as “someone from the Communists wants to get in.” The chairman constantly interrupt- ed Farmer, but the men told him to continue and cheered the call of the M. W. I. U. for “one code and one struggle, regardless of organization or misleaders.” When Farmer finished, Axtell at- tempted to raise a red scare and spoke of “Moscow gold.” The men showed their disapproval and the chairman hastily adjourned the meet- ing without taking any vote or throw- ing the floor open for discussion.
