oh ARCH 9, 1934 Page Five DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK. FRIDAY, MA CHANGE By Limbach Chicago Workers to Honor Hammersmark At Banquet Saturday Southern Croppers Have Lost Faith in Roosevelt | | ——THE— , WORLD! ——By SENDER GARLIN TF YOU want to know how different is the life of the sea- men from that depicted in such romantic yarns as Rafael Sabatini’s “The Sea Hawk,” then you ought to get ac- «uainted witi the activities of the Mavine Workers’ In- iustrial Union. I had. been. bearing and reading a great deal about the hell-raising of this union“not only along the Atlantic seaboard but along tlie Pacific Coast as well. So I got in touch with an old-time seatiaii Who's seen lots of ups and downs in the American labor movement. He's editor of that swell paper, “The Mariné Work- “ts’ Voice.” x This is what Hays Jones, editor of the “Voice,” the iong-range organizer of the M. W. I. U., told me when I asked him to give nie the actual details on how the marine workéts in Baltimore contfol and administer the federal funds for relief. “We've been fightifig the holy racket (the Anchorage, a Y. M. ©. A. outfit similar to the stab-hérding Seamen’s Church in New York), for more than two years. There’ve beefi nutzerous arrésts as a result of this struggle, and*6n several océasions the seamen sent the cops to first-aid stations afd hospitals. Our guys raised so much hell down in that oyster-town that the cops finally became disinclined to engage in any more hand-to-hand encounters, and the government shortly afterward took ovér the relief, instead of the guys in the holy racket. “This only spurred our boys on, with the result that the federal government thought ij wise to turn over the actual administration of the relief to the seamen themselves. How does it work? At first only 200 meh were on the beach, but after word got atound about the victory of the marine workers, re-enforeements began to stream into Balti- more, until today thé"government has tg feed at least 600 unemployed men. Hach man géts an allowance of 85 cents a day in the form of thFee 20-cent meal tickets, and a bed in one of the hotels along the waterfront. Two hwhdred men are im the ‘relief’ station project, separate from the men on the cash allowance. * . * seamen Run the Works Me hee poirit is that the seatnen themselyes are running the works, through a committee which carries out the fighting ptogram of the Baltimore Waterfront Unemployed Council. ping Bureau. This bureau at present controls about 80 per cent of the jobs availablé on ships leaving Baltimore. We ship out men on a vojary system regardless of race, color, creed, or governmental black- list. r “The only ship that has succeeded in getting out of port since these activities started was the Munsumo of the Munson Line. (Another Munson ship, the Walter D. Munson was tied up today by a strike for the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union code). The Munsumo got away only because the cops acted as scabs and cast off the lines. It was a couple of weeks ago, about four o’clock in the morning. A towboat pulled the ship, minus the crew, to @ nearby port, * * * . Tt was an Icy Cold:Morning “fT WAS an icy cold, morning, but when the word spread along the waterfront that the. Munsome was trying to cast off, more than 400 men came pouring out of the hotels and flops to picket. “About that colliers’ strike on the 14 New England ships. Colliers are the gents that carry coal from Norfolk, Va., to ports in New Pngland. The strike started about February 15 and lasted 14 days. These guys are among the most viciously exploited seamen, and the strike showed the attitude of the government beautifully. They sent boys from the C. ©. C. camps to scab on the ships—though they weren't seamen, and in Boston they had cops with machine guns on the docks. “Aboard the Glenn White, where the men were on strike, the cops shoved guns in their bellies and forced them all up the gangplank, So they simply struck aboard ship. “What was the-result of the strike? We won, as a result of this sirike on 14 ships, taisés of $10 a month for men on 100 ships, and this raise brings wages above the proposed code scale of the shipping bosses. In addition to this, another job was created aboard all ships—that of third engineer. A “Public” Emergency “wan the strike broke out the government considered it an ‘emer- gency’ and acted in a typical fascist manner. The Federal Emer- gency Relie? Administration returned all the coal it had bought for ‘poor relief’ to the coal dealers to help them out. In other words, ‘from him who hath not it shall be taken, and to"him who hath it shall be siven.” ‘This business in Baltimore has been a great inspiration to the sea- men everywhere, and the seamen in New York are now hurling a series of barrages 10 Holy Racket here, which is the Seamen’s Church x. M. ©, A's, the Norwegian Seamen’s Home, ete. * . . * * ’ Where the Moneiiee “WMIOW you take thé: n’s Church Institute down on South Street, here in New York,” Hays went on. “That's the outfit that hangs the cross, turns their’ collars backwards, so as to live handsomely on public charity by dispensing as small a portion as they can of what they collect, and using the rest of it for-the highest overhead in the world’s history. ‘ “Right here in’New "York they collected 300,000 bucks in 1931 and spent 67,000 of this onthe Social Service Department, 25,000 of which were ‘loans’ and the test were ‘salaries’ and ‘expenses.’ So actually $25,000 in ‘loans’ was ‘the total gotten by the seamen out of $300,000 collected. a “Who supports outfit? Why the list of supporters reads like a Directory of Shipowners’ Wives, and on state occasions the shipowners themselves come arotind, like they did at the funeral of the Holy Goat (Archibald R, Mansfield, superintendent of the Seamen’s Church In- stitute). » “He was 63 when he kicked off, they say from heart failure. But the seamen on the waterfront are sure that he didn’t pass away from eating the “Ten Cent Special” sold by the Institute. “Some of the seamen observed the funeral by fasting, because the doors of the relief kitchen were locked until the funeral was over, > * * . A “Sailor’s? Funetal ih ‘T funeral was sure a swell affair. Sixteen men in skirts and crosses and a whole flock of men in frock coats and top hats. There were ladies, too, in silken robes and furs, so that you could hear the swish of silks along with the rustle of the wind through the torn shirts of the sailors. “To provide the proper ‘atmosphere,’ they had 25 of the Mission Mice (institute flunkeys) dressed in nice blue serge suits, and they made them take off the suits again when the ceremonies in the funeral of the Doghouse are Lady Ashley Sparks, | the Cunard Line here; ne “The relief victory resulted in the organization of a Central Ship- | CHINA TODAY, Voiume 2, number 2-3, Published by the Friends of | the Chinese People, 168 West | 23rd St., New York City, 5 cents, | Reaytered be CONRAD KOMOROWSKI |SUESTIONS concerning China | | have assumed a leading import- | ance today, in view of the growth | |of the Soviet power and its con- | & a) solidation into the second worker and farmers’ republic.

The Daily Worker, within limits of Space, does i this informa- tion. But Today specializes in bringing this information in a correlated, more embracing, man- ner, and more of it. Several numbers have already been issued. The currené issue shows improvement over the pre- |ceding numbers, although they too | were good, and augurs well for the printed magazine promised for the Fall. This number deals with the latest events in China particularly, |and in the Far East generally, in detail, linking them with the whole chain of events now transforming the Far East. The aftermath of the Fukien rebellion; proof of the direct negotiations between the Na- tionalist Government and Japan } for the virtual sale of China to the Japanese imperialists; the effects of dJapan’s occupation of North China in terms of the increased misery of the workers and peasants; figures on education in Soviet China—these are a few of the out- standing articles presented in China Today and nowhere else available.
