F. of L, show the CI) sinilar consid- eration, Reason for action py the CIO is because the members of the. fellow union have been given in- creases in wages amounting to $22.50 a month, while the ad- vances of the ClO seamen total $17.50. The average monthly wages of A. F. of L. seamen is now $172.50 @ month. From San Francisco news was received here that the A. F. of L. seamen were ordered to return! to their ships, but no further word has been received since the | CIO decided to go on strike. Settlement of the A.
