By a Marine Worker Correspondent NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—A strike of the deck gang of the S. S.

They presented their grievances there, and with the support of the M. W. I. U. local decided to strike for the following demands 1. A wage scale as provided in the I. S. U. agreement 2.

Of the men here few have been | allowed to escape the forced labor plan. Those who have excused themselv in the past on individual “hospital” pretexts are now herded into the projects and fed a special soft diet, It is said that the forced labor plan is to apply to all ports strike one hundred per cent. After two ond a half hours the mates succeeded in letting go of the lines and shifted to Norfolk. The sailors still refused to turn to. In Norfolk, Shipping Commis- sioner EB, L. Posey came aboard and | fired five of the men, but conceded the demand of $57.50 per month. Of the seven men that struck, two were members of the M. W. I.! U., two were in the I. S. U. and the} other three were unorganized. Following the strike, the entire deck gang. including the new men éndorsed the merger proposals of the M. W. I. U. and raised the price of a telegram to Victor Olan- der stating their demand that he concede to the M. W. I. U, pro-| rosals Illness him and a policeman who said that he was nowhere near the alleged attack and succeeded in tangling himself in such a maze of contra- dictory statements that in less than 15 minutes the case was thrown out of court.

Many of them wait hours in the cold without obtaining work. West Coast Longshoremen conducted their eighty-four day strike. Ten Hoar Wait ‘For Shape-up ‘On Fruit Docks Marine Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—How long are we men on the United Fruit going to let the company treat us like cat- tle? They keep us waiting outside | for the shape-up like we were | | horses ready to have the saddle and harness put on us whenever the | | bosses damn well feel like it. | Look what happened last Sun- day.

In other words we waited six hours for nothing. But that isn’t | all, At 5:30 there was another | Shape~up.

I voted for the Democrats in the last elec- tion. But, I think you people are trying to do the right thing by fighting for better conditions. For instance one thing about the waiting room on Pier 7 N. R. of the United Fruit Company. This room is about twenty by forty feet, and sometimes as many as seventy-five men are crowded into it. The room is filthy and has a bad smell. On cold days the room is too cold to Stay in. Now, what I would like to know is this—isn’t it strange that the Company is so careful to keep the. bananas from freezing, but it doesn’t care at all if the men freeze or get sick?

These compulsory | | leaves of absence, which are tanta- | mount to a wage-cut and which is/ Gimbel’s pet method of getting around the meager N, R. A. mini- mum, reveals Gimbel’s sincerity of | reducing unemployment. The thinly disguised patriotic slogan of | their “January sale of American- made goods to increase employment” is so much wool intended for the eyes of their employees and for mass public consumption. A further inconsistency is re- vealed in the policy of this great emporium that “tells the truth” in the light of the fact that De- partment Stores in general have in- dicated that there was a consider- paratory to initiating mass action against forced labor. It is planned to synchronize activities so that all Ports can act at once. A commitiee elected at a meeting yesterday were to address the Baltimore Executive Labor Council in an effort to enlist their support in the fight against forced labor for seamen. The ad- | dress was postponed till next week. Merger Proposals Early in the week Drummond,/ local M. W. I. U. secretary led a| delegation over to the I. S. U. hall to offer proposals of merging the | two unions. The delegation was elected from the flcor of the M. V TI. U. after the entire body of a: sembled seamen approved the pro- posed action. Members of the com- mittee, headed by Drummond, rep- resented both major organizations and the unorganized seamen here | who expressed a great desire that UNITY should exist in the Marine Industry. The I. 8. U. officials, | however, refused to entertain this| committee. So the I. S. U. rank and file is being appealed to to force the | merger. The local Unemployed Council is also carrying on a campaign urging the I. S. U. rank and file to bring | @n Official I. S. U. reversal of their declared policy of exclusion of cer- tain militant seamen. M. W. I. U. Men on Trial Four members of the M. W. I. U.| went on trial, early in the week, to face charges ranging from simvle trespassing to assault and battery on the I. S. U. delegate named Humphries. These charges grew out of an alleged attack on Humphries by these men. The four seamen contended that they only defended themselves in an attack planned and carried out by Humr™-ies and his henchmen. During the trial the Judge cau- tioned the seamen that if they were ever brought before him again on Similar charges they would meet with severe punishment; he specifi- Cally indicated Humphries at this peint and warned him that “strong- arm” tactics would not be tolerated by him for any reason whatever. Humphries admitted on the stand that he was responsible for the Statement that he would “organize this port by terror if necessary.” He introduced as witnesses a/ dock watchman who declared that the men were total strangers to Pape r Praises Labor-Hating St. Louis Judge By a Worker Correspondent | ST.

Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—Two weeks ago the Company Union at the Morris | Park Shops passed out a lousy | sheet called, “The Railroad Shop Man.” Now this paper didn’t just come from the sky. It was issued as a drug to deaden our senses against the good work of the Com- munist Party in the shops. What does this sheet tell us? First, that prosperity is here—or coming. Second, that “justice must dominate,” if we are patient. Third, that the Company Union is a means of getting representation in “OUR COMPANY.” Fourth, that only by organizing in the company union (which calls itself Brother. hood of Railroad Crafts of Amer- ca) can we get better conditions, Not a word about the 49 who were suddenly furloughed, not a word about unemployment insur- ance, is to be found there. What else are we interested in if not in these things? SOME PAPER FOR US. First as to what they say, As to prosperity—ask the 49 who were given the gate. They'll tell us more about prosperity than Charlie Robb and the crook, T. H. Davis, can tell us from their soft offices in the Penn. Second, “Justice will domi- nate,” if we don’t organize into a ratty outfit like this Company Union. Third, about representation, we don’t want representation in the company. Workers and bosses can’t play ball together, and if the work- ers have “anything left on their ball,” there will ‘be a screw-ball on the bosses’ pitch. Then it’s not “our company” yet. Fourth, they lie. Only by uniting in the A. F. of L., under the leadership of the rank and file can we win anything. By Longshore Decision SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 17.— San Francisco longshoremen got the first major example of the anti- labor character of the Longsho:e- men’s Joint Labor Relations Com- mittee of San Francisco, set up when the recent strike was settled. Arbitrator Judge M. C. Sloss ruled that workers must sling fifteen cases to a load in place of the demanded | twelve. The judge also ruled that | the workers should not have come out on strike at various piers when disputes arose, but should have shoremen’s Board.
