Talking about the need for a nati~nal car!lo policy, Drozak satd that U.S. sliips areforcedtocompete o11 an .. unequal footing" with foreign fleets in world trade. He pointed out that foreign nations use a number of methods of favorable treatments to put cargo on their own ships. Drozalc therefore said that this country needs "a national cargo policy to assure our fleet access to a fair share of cargoes." He pointed out the nccessity of bilateral shipping agreements as a "key component of any maritime trade p()licy.'' Also, Drozak ,said that government agencies should be directed to use the private merchant fleet to tlte fullest extent possible. Current laws should be strictly enforced so that no less than 50 percent of U.S. government generated cargoes go on American-flag ships. Furthermore, Droza k said that American boatage Jaws should be fully enforced . For instance, the Jones Act reserves coast wise trade to American-owned and crewed YCSsels. frupff..,, Volcano Closes Port of Portland 'l r.

Sen. Inouye, True friend of Maritime, Gets Award S .ENATQR Daniel K. lnouye ([)•Hawaii), chairman of the Senate SubcC1mmiuee on Merchant Marine and 'Pourism, has been named this year's recipient of the: prestigious. A<lmiral of the Ocean Seas (AOTOS) award. He is being honored for his lifelong dedication to the maritime industry, and for his persistent efforts to bring about its revival. Throughout his long and distinguished career, Inouye bas consistently sought to stern the decline of the American J)ag merchant marine. He has iotroduced numerous bills aimed at achievjng that g~ the latest and perhaps the most importanr being the ~Ocean Shipping Act of 1980," an ambitious piece of legislation which seeks to develop a coherent national policy on 01erchant $hippin'g. . The AOTOSaward is the latest jn a fong series of honors tha! have been bestowed upon Ino uye for outstanding national and community service. War Jfero During Wo.rld War 11, Inouye left his medicaJ studies at the University of Hawaii to enlist in the defense of bis country. He served with distinction in the 442nd Special Regimental Combat Tcami which was comp~ entirely of Americans of Japanese descenL lie was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, rhe Bronze Star, the P11rple Heart with Cluster. live Batt.le Stars and four Distinguished Utiit Citation$. In the closing days of the war, the Senator received his second wound and suffered the loss of his right arm. His disability prevented him from pursuing a career as a surgeon, so he turned to law instead. After his graduation from the George Washington University School of law. Inouye became involved in Hawaiian politics. In 1954 he was elected to the House of Representatives of what then was the Territory of Hawaii. In 1958 he was elected to the Hawa iian Senate. When Hawaii became a state. he was elected its first Congre!i-~­ man. As Senator. Inouye has served with distinction on the Commerce Committee. He is looked upon by his colfeagocs as an eicpert of maritime atfairs. The AOTOS awards are given annually by the United Seaman's Service: a non-profit agency established during World War IJ to provide a worldwide network of community centers for the men and women of the Merchant Marine and their families. Past winners include a distinguished roster of men and women who have helped nurture the American maritime industry.

By frank Drouk Executive Vice Pre$idenl T HE MOST imporrant thing that this Union Is involved in today is the flghr for new jobs, and the fight to preserve the jobs we presently have. The arena where we slug it out day after day in this crucial fight is Washington, D.C. There was a time in this business when you could get by with a token presence In Washington. But no morel Today, the success and survival of our organization depends in large part on an active, aggressive, effective team in Washington. It is by no means tin overstatement to say that virtually every American seagoing job-deep sea, Lakes and inland-is tied to Federal legislation. The simple fact is that we have to be there every day. We have to be there'to moni!or legislation, to parlicipate in hearings, and to meet face to face with Congressmen, Senators, White House people and others who form maritime policy. If we do not maintain this constant presence to protect our Interests and to fight for new programs and concepts for U.S. maritime, it woukf'be safe to say that in a very few years, there would be no American-flag m.erchant marine left to fight for. VENTS In Washington thi5 month provide a good example of what I'm talking about. During June, there were (wo extremely lmponant hearings which I participated in. First, I testified at hearings before the House Subcommittee on Merchant Marine. The purpose of the hearing was ro decide on the issue of additfonal operating subsidies for mal'itime for Fiscal Year 1980. The hearings, however, turned intoanattackon manning levels on U.S. ships. Had we not been there to present our poslrion on manning, and 10 outline how. ~e have cooperated with management to develop compermve crew sizes, these hearings could have led to further unnecessary cuts in crew levels. That won't happen now. The second hearing was before the Democratic Party Platform Committee. At th~meeting, I presented to the Committee the Union's proposal for inclusion of a pro-maritime plank in the Party Platform. As a rewlt of this effort, and our participation In hearinp in other cities, I am confidentthe Democrats will adopt a pro-maritime plank .at their Convention in August in New York. ,. In addition to these hearings, we continued our efforts concerning the Omnibus Maritime Bill. There are a lot of good rhlnS$ for maritime in the bill. But there are numerous points In the bllf that have to be changed before It g~ to the floor for a vote in ttie House. We~re working on making those changes. N another ;irea, the House of Representatives passe<f the O<rean Mining Bill by a voice vote. The bill Included an amendment mandatfng tlJat the ships Involved in the U.S.Qcean minins effort must be registered American and m1mned by American seamen. The ultimatesuccessof this bill holds a great poteJ1tial for job~ for American maritime workers. Of i;ourse, the fightfor this bill ls far from over. Butthe House action puts us one step cl~ to victory. The thingthatmuTI be remembered is that if the SIU did not maintain an active and highly visible presence In Washington, none of these thlnS$ could have taken place. Again Brothel'$, our Washington operation is crucial to us. In Washington, we are fighting for our jobs and job security. We are fighting for our lfvellhoods. We are fighting for our future. Nothing less than·an absolute commitment and tot.al effort will do. We are putting fonh this kind of effort right now thanks to this membership's support of SPAO. We must all work together to keep it this way.

I SIU Wins Jurisdiction Beef on 5-L Crane Jobs double-barreled victory for the job rig,hts of STU membe!'S who do maintemmce work on Sea-Land's huge Pace<io cranes was handed down last monrh. In two separate ·rulings, the National Labor Relations Board and an lmpartiaJ Umpire of the AFL-Cld said that crane maintenance work at Sea-Land's Pott Everglades facility is the job of a maintenance crew made up of SIU and MEBA·Dlstrlct I Shorepns memben, Both ruJ.. ings struck down claims by the fntemational Longshoremen's Assn., that the crane maintenance work was within their jurisdiction. Though the outcome of bo~ the NLRB and the Impartial Umpire's rulings are the same, the two hearings were held {or dlfferent reasons. On Oct 2, 1979, Sea-Ulnd installed a Paceco crane at their Port EvergJadcs facility. These, cranes arc used to ioad and unload containerized cargoes. The actual operation ~ar the Port Everglades crane, and of Sea-Land's Pactco cranes ill ;New Jersey, Puerto Rico, New Or· -----~.r. tMlu~ W!'it Coast and Portsmouth, Va., is handled by an I LA membe( since it is" part of the loading operation and clearly within the ILA's jµrisdiction. The maintenance of the cranes, however, is the job of a cr:ew made up of SIU and MESA memberi. Under tbe collective bargaining agreement with SeaLand, one MESA- District I engineer supervising two SIU shorep:ng members arc responsible for repair woTlc, routine checking of electrical equipment and other talks involved iii upkeep of the cranes. But when Sea-Land installed the new Paceco crane at Pon Everglades, the: ILA protested the assignment of SIU and MEBA members 10 tbe maintenance crew. lbe Longsboreme11 began picketing the P~rt Everglades facility, stopping only wbeil Sea-Land went ro U.S. District Court for a ratrainh)g order. On Nov. I, the ILA toot I.heir beef over lbe crane maintenance work to the Labor Relations Commiuee, their contractual grievance commi~. The Labor Relatiom Committee. made up of representatives of the ILA and the Southeait Florida Pons Employees Assn.. determined that die ILA llad jurisdjnjOll over crane maintenance work. Sea-Land objected and filed A tz LOG I charges with the NLRB stating that tbe ILA had violated Section 9 (b) (4) (D) of the National labor Relations Act "'by engag· ing 1n certain proscribed activity with an object of forcing or requiring the employer to assign certain work to its members rather than to employees repr~ seated by MEBA anti SIU." A three-man committee of the NLRB was convened to hear Sea· Land's chirges against the ILA. On May 20 the Board ruled that "the employ~ represented by MEBA and the SIU arc entitled to perform the work in dispute. "The record reveals," the Board said in their 10 page determination. "that the Employer's standard practice has been to assign the disputed work to at least one MEBA employee and two SIU employees. The Employer has followed the assignment of wotk at all its facilitic.~ across the country since the late 1960's •• . " and "ls satisfied" with the job the SIU a nd MEDA have been doing. While the NLRB ~a.~ decidin& on Sea-Land's charges against the ILA, the SI U and MEBA brought separate charges against the Longshoremen before an lmpanial Umpire of the i\FLCJ O. The SIU and MEBA charged the ILA with violating the "no raiding" clause spelled out in Article XX of the AFLCIO Constitution. At the end of May, the Impartial Umpire upheld the raiding charges against the ILA and awarded the crane maintenance work: at Port Everglades to the SIU and MEDA. An Impartial Umpire has issued similar rulings over the issue of. crane maintenance work at several other Sea-Land facilities. Most recently. an Impartial ! ! Umpire ruled that the ILA had violated t.he "no raiding" section of the AFL·CIO Constitution by claiming crane maintenance "'work and disi:upting Sea-Land's collective bargaining rel11lionship with the SIU and MEBA at Sea. Land's Portsmouth Va .• facility. In spite of the fact that the ILA's jorisdictioo claims over ctane maintenance work at SeaLand facilities have been struck down time after time, the Longshoremen have continued to protest maintenance work assignments everytime Sea-Land installed a new crane. But because the implications of the NLRB's ruling upholding the Sltrs and MEBA's jurisdiction over the crane maintenance work are relatively broad, obSCTvers feel chances arc slim that the ILA will protest the assignment of SJU and MEBA main· tenance crews in the future.

With these organizations, the seemens labor movement was off10 a firm start, at least on the West Coast Seamen organized on the' Gi:tat Wes at ab.out the same time. The Seamen's Benevolent Union of Chicago was formed in 1863 but soon explted, mai~Ly because its main objective was to take card of siclc or indigent members rather than to taise wages -and improve conditions. Jn 1878, this ·organization was W revived with the name lakes Sea· mens Ben.evolcnt Association, under the leadership or Dan Keefe.

The Union, however, was revived in the l 8901 •nd nrvived lo become pan of the lnfemetiooal Seamens Union. Longshoremen of the Lake1 orpnizcd in Chicago in 1877 and then fonn.cd the National LonBshoremen'1 Association of the United States in Detroit in 1892. This became the International Longshoremen's Association lo 1895. It was al5o on the Great Lakes that the first union of marine engineers waa formed in 1854. II quiclcly faded away but was revived in 1863 and again in 1875 when it became the National Marine Engineers Beneficial Association. Captains and Mates have a history of union activity ' On the lakes dating beck to 1886.

Bureauen.tic mismanagement, bud8¢" tary pressures and Saudi Arabian protests have threatened its existence. The SPR program la impor· llUlt to the merehanUnarlne linte U.S. sbips· an parantttd curlap of at l~f SO percent of the oll earcoes. The Program was drawn up in 1974. Fifteen industrial nations, including the United States, met after the Arab Oil Embargo and agreed in theory that~ch nation had to take positive steps to lessen its vulnerability to shortterm cut-offs of oil supplies. Since that time most of the fifteen nations have done what tbey promised, which is to build up their reserves of· oil. The United States, however, has stood aione in doing nothing to protect itself. 6 Day Resene Ot;partment of Energy officials have llnders~red this failure. If an oil cmburgo were implerne11ted tod.ay, these officials main~in that the United States would be lhe Western nation m95t severely affected, Japan, West Oem1any and Franc:c all have oil resetves of 40 days or more. The United States. however. bas only 91 million barrels of oil in reserve. Al the present rate of eonsumption this is enough ,to meet our nation's energy Qeeds for six days. Domestic critics of SPR. and there .are many, contend that bveaucratic mismanagemeql has crippled the Program. Delicate international consideration have also played a role in hindering the program's success. Saudi officials have made it known that they do not favor a build-up of American oil reserves. Officials from the State Department have been reluctant lo give the SPR Program the attention that it needs because of this country's special relationship with the Saudi rulers. What has hurt the program the most, however, bas been the_ worsening economic situation of the United States. As of late there has been a great deal of pressurtt to balance the Federal budget. SPR has be!Cn one of the programs designated to be cut t>ack so ,that the Federal budget can be balanced. Con~s is presently consideri.ng propQsals to resc1,1e the Program. Key leaders rcmemtier the difficulties this country encountered when foreign sources ofenergy were cur-off. as SIU Helps In Seafffe Shindig they were in 1973 after the Yorn Kippur War and in 1979 during the Iranian Revol11tion. The most recent proposal to n:scue the SPR Program is the one that was incorporated into the Synthetic Fuels Legislation. S. 923, during a meeting of Senate and House conferees. Senators Bill Bradley D-NJ) and Bob Dole (R-Kans) have per:suaded their fellow conferees to include language in the Synthetic Fuels Lcgj$lation I.bat would require thal the Strategic Petroleum Reserve be augmented by 100,000 barrels of oil a day. Unfortunately, they were unable to obtain all the funds necessary to bring that result about. Most lesislative experts agree that the actions of Dole and Bradley will have little practical effect in the immediate future. The Syntheti.; Fuels Bill must first be T"Cturned to the House and Senate and passed by both bodies. And tpen the compromise version mu&t be signed by the President. Even if the legislation is signed into law, the required Federal monie~ would not have been authorized to .bring about the desired resuJt, which is to build up this nation's oil reserve. However, tpe Synthetic Fuels Legislation, if it is enacted with the Dole and Bradley language inUlcl, will serve an ii:nportant purpose. Congress will have made a symbolic commitment to building up our oil reserves.

Many o f his Union brother! would agree that as an SIU member a nd recently retired official. Joe Algina is first-rate. Since he came ashore as a Union organi1er in 1944, Algina served his brother Seafarcl'li in many capacitiei;. In all of them IJe was a devoted and hard working official. His retirement marks the loss to the SIU of one of its most respected officials. His jobs with 'the SIU ranged from New York 1>ort agent to Headquarters representative to assistaqt secretary-treasurer. ,He alsQ served as SIU safety director and as a special representative from the International 10 its fishing affiliates. Joseph J . Algina was born in Worcester, Mass. on May I. 1916. At the age of 16 he started working ashore at odd jobs. But since he knew "some feUows who were shipping out," and because he "always wanted to go to sea," Algina was on his first ship by the age of 21. He made his first trip in the steward department but then switched to the deck department where he remained during. hls active seafaring career. Algina was a member of the fonner International Seamen's Union but as soon as the SIU was fonncd in late I 931!'l1e was lhere • to join it in the port of Boslon.

He was elected Headquarters Representative for 195 I .and 1952 In 1953 he was elected assistant s.ecretary-treasurer, a post to which he was re-elected several times. Brother Algina tQok an active role in many of the Union's fights. Re particiP.ated in the Coos Bay b1:ef and various longs bore beefs, 1be 1946 General Strike, and the Wall Street and Isthmian strikes. He was also very involved in the American Coal Shippillg beef of lhe mid and late J950's. For many years Algina also served on the Union negotiating Committee thal bargained with employers for Seafarers' contracts. ln 1959, Algina was appointed SIU safety director. Jn this position he helped establish criteria for safety aboard ships. Together with the Coast Guard he set up Collective Regulations on Safety. Among other things, these reguJatioDs dealt with safety equipment aboard ship and safe loading and unloading · procedures.

Brother Algma has five children, four grandchildren. and one more expected in August. His children are: Kathleen; James; Patly; Dorrie. and John.
