He carried out our orders at all times. He also gave each of us.. a copy of the present Union constitution. He suggested that we read those sections of our constitution dealing with the Union tallying committee in detail, which we did. The committee then to·ok over the co·nference room on the 3,rd deck of our headquarters building as the place in which we would do our work while in session. Our sessions were · open to all members. There were no instances of misconduct. Our !ipt action was to elect from among ourselves, L. P. Hogan, H-87, as chairman of the committee. . The full committee then picked up the ballots from Commercial Bank of North America located at -1400 Broa(lway, New York City, as per the constitution and resolution adopted by the membership in . c.o nnection with the referendum.

Cosl of fu'el · ranks next to depreciation as the largest expense · of car ownership. You'll pay more for gas this summer; especially because of increased .gas taxes. The majority of states now tax gas at six cents or more per gallon. In fact; 13 states now tax at seven cenfs. • So you can see why <;ar owners are argtiing over how to get more mileage.

L Speed Cost~ . We hope the argument wasn't · too liot because even experts differ a little. Generally, over 30 mph you start losing · mileage. But the increase is not. signficant until you go .over 40. If at 30 mph you get 21 mpg, then <typically) at 40 you get 20; at 50, 18; at 60, 16; at 70, 14. That doesn't mean all cars . will get the same mileage at these speeds, of course. Other f~ctors affectinf mileage are ·weight, engine compression ratio, condition of the car and driving habits. A 3,000-pound car gets 50 percent more mileage than or,e weighing 4.0oo; other factors equal. You can see why the new compact cars are ·r unning away with car sales this -year. They're 2·,300 to 3,000 pounds. • They dori't provide quite as much mileage as some of the ads claim. But drivers' · experiences so far indicate they yield 19-26 mpg for the manual-shift sixes, depending on wejght. . A high-compression ratio retically helps engines get more mileage out of gas. But the highcompression earl on the road gen-· era1ly are those loaded with gasusing extra accesories like ~auto­ matic transmission and power steer- ing. Also, over a certain ratio, genSeafarer Arthur· Roy, AB, thinks nothing of it as he perches on top erally 9 to 1 or higher, you need of mast aboard Del Rio (Mississippi).

Automotive engineers estimate that about 50 percent of all cars on the road in 1960 will be satisfied with 91 octane gas.

WASHING TON - Competition from J:apanese shipyards has become so tough that the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce acted recently to increase construction - differential subsidies to 55 percent. Gover~ment construction subsidy ceilings were originally set at 50 percent in order to enable American shipb.uilders to compete with foreign shipyards but the Japanese yards, in particular, still can build ships ror less than American companies, even with the subsidies. Cheap Labor A combination of cheap labor and the newest and most modern machine tools and facilities enable foreign competitors to build vessels for so much less than American yards. No matter how much of a subsidy Congress gives on ship cunstruction, foreign yards seem to be able to beat American prices. This is true of many other areas of heavy manufacturing, from railroad locomotives to bulldozers. Jobs Top Registration, SF Reports SAN FRANCISCO-Shipping in the port of San Francisco exceeded all expectations this period as 48 men shipped on the five vessels that were in transit and two ships that were in for sign ons. Also, men were sent to other west coast ports that were short of man-power. This -makes the second period in a row that more men shipped than registered. Forty - eight men shipped to 39 registered. The immediate future looks gloomy, though the next period might be fair. The Fairport is scheduled to pay off soon and three ships will be serviced in transit within the near future. Seafarers Pleased Most of the Seafarers in the San Francisco area are quite pleased with the way the Cleopatra beef _ turned out in that it was so successful in calling attention to a situation ·that never should have existed. During the last period the Maiden Creek and· the, Young America (Waterman> signed on, and the Amers Victory (Victory); Portmar and Alamar (Calmar), Erna Elizabeth (Albatross) and Steel Artisand (Isthmian) we~e in transit.

Files Radiograms • I . . BALTIMORE -The i ·Maryland Port Authority announced recently the inauguration of ' a service to deliver radiograms ,filed aboard ship by members of any -crew. Me!isages can be sent via radiotelegraph station WMH owned and «>perated by the Maryland Port Authority. The station will send messages anywhere in the United States to any person who is willing ·to ·accept the message on a "col.; lect''. basis. · . WMH will also accept and de~ liver return messages and will bill t)le origirial sender at a· later· date. , The service · is · available to all ships sa~ling the Ch~sapeake ·a nd Delaware Bays and on the · nearby high seas. At ·this writing the outcome of the contract dispute between the International ·Maritime Workers Union -and the Incres Line, owners of the pass_enger ships Nassau and · Victoria, is still in doubt. But one thing is ce'rtain~and that is that the IMWU h~s the .solid support of the ships,- crews and of the crews of many other runaway vessels as well. · When the- pickets had to be ·w ithdrawn as tne result of a court order, the company tried to hustle the ships out. This mane.u ver failed because the cr~wmembers refused to work the -ships until they get union representation and some imptovements.in their conditions. No matter what the outcome, the "lncres Line dispute is proof positivf: ~hat, given encouragement and support, runaway ships' crews will fight militantly for decent conditions anq a u.nion contract. This, d~spite the fact that these crews are almost alw~ys aliens recruited overseas and subject to loss of jobs and deportation for· daring .to demand-just treatment and ~onsider-ation for their needs. The IMWU, which was set up with _the joint support of the SIU and the National Maritime Union, has done a fine 'job of organizing ·and solidifying the··Incres- Line crews l;>ehind the Union. But in a sense, the best organizer in this picture is the rµnaway ship operator. By paying mise~able wages·, under-man.n ing his ships, working his crews long hours and ·subjecting them to intoler~ble conditions, he is driving them to join ,a union in self-defense. Once -the IMWU makes· its pro-· .gram more widely-known to runaway ships' crews · a~d offers them . assistance, the runaway operator is .going to find .h e will have to· meet· union conditions to sail his ships.

On March 29 we were at anchor in the :aouston ship channel due to the fog. At 9:45 AM, as we were getting ready to get underway again, the SS Hastings . .passed us. · At 10:25 I wall on lookout on the ,bow when I heard whistles blowing, the sound of anchors being dropped Ahd then, the 1ound oi a crash. : About 10 minutes · later the fog begsn to clear. Almost 500 feet off the port bow we could see two ships which had run together, almost bow to bow. They were the Hastings and the Antinuous, both belonging to the Waterman Steamship Company. We on the Delta Line were glad to see that Waterm~n kept the trouble in their own family and did not invite us. We anchored and stood by for 35 minutes. Then, seeing that they did not ·need help,' we got underway. As we headed for Port Arthur, w~ could see the Hastings was still trying to get her bow out of the' Antlnuous. ,, Waterman~ Woe The ctiief electrician came to the bow when he heard the crash and I sent him to get my camera. <Ed. note: The photos of the collision appeared in the April 8 LOG.> The second interesting event was a hailstorm. which we ran into between Galveston and New 'Orieans. The storm came up suddenly, and some of the hailstones reached %tbs of an inch in diameter. The stones piled into driftS on the deck ·up to· three inches deep. We are now out in the South Atlantic.
