GUiJ HUOQUARTERS Accuse SIU of Selling Jobs But Cut NMU initiation Fee to Sell Only Membership Books Tile NMU Pilot, followiiitr in tlie footsteps of the Voiee of the Federation, has ijooie to jrrent pains, and no little expen.se. to make much of .the fact that one Japanese by the. name of Kenjiro Suzuki was is.sned a hook in the SIU. Although ad­ mitting that he was once a member of the NMU, they con­ veniently neglected to mention that he had never secured a job Avhile he Avas a member of that organization. They baldlj' .state that the SIU has "Jobs for Sale", and that Ave joined this man on the strength of tiie promise that Ave Avoidd get liim a .job on a ship so that he could get. back to his native land. Although it, is hardly necessary for us to deny this utterly ridiculous statement, ne\'ertheless, we feel that we should offer a Avord of explanation. NOi PROMISES MADE When Suzuki fir.st applied for admittance to the SIU. he Aves refused. Not only once.—^but on several different oehasions. HoAvever, he persisted, and although he AA'as told that the SIU has no ships running to Japan, he insisted that he desired to be a member of our organization, as the NMU had done nothing for him in all the time he had been a member. He Avas eventually issued a book, for a mere transfer fee, and •Was not charged a full initiation, and shortly tliereafter, Avas fortunate enough to ship out on a ship bound for the West Coast. What happened Avhen he got there, Ave don't knoAA', but it is quite evident that the comrats saAv their chance to put out some phoney propaganda, Avhieh, as usual, Avas a lot of distorted fact.s. NMU BARGAIN RATES NOAV,—^while the NMU officials are accusing the SIU of having "Jobs for Sale", the NMU National Council has de­ cided to make a drive on the SIU membership, particularly in the Gulf District, by reducing the initiation fee from $25 to $10. IT'S NOT JOBS THAT THE NMU IS SELLING, BUT MERELY A MEMBERSHIP BOOK, WHICH GUAR­ ANTEES EXACTLY NOTHING! Over sixty percent of their own membership are on the beach, and they want to take in more members! THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY JOBS TO SELL! NMU NEEDS MONEY Their treasury (?) i.s depleted, and they are badly in need of funds. What simpler way of getting money than to de­ clare a bargain on membership fees? As a matter of fact, even at $10, it isn't any bargain! Of course, they intend to intensify their membership drive on SIU members who are employed aboard ships. The strategy of such a move is very easily seen. THEY DON'T WANT THE MEN:—THEV WANT THE SHIPS, AND THE MONEY THEY MAY REALIZE BY SELLING CUT-RATE MEMBERSHIPS IN THEIR OUTFIT! And then they have the supreme gall to state that the Seafarers' International Union is selling jobs! What sublime hypocrisy! They don't even have any jobs to sell, but are actually planning on making an attempt to buy the jobs right out from under the men AVIIO already have them! WIND UP ON SHORT END We've said it before, but Ave'll have to say it again,—that they, tried this same stunt on the Waterman ships, but as soon as the men on the ships got Avise to them, their so-called membership drive flopped! When the Avould-be militant com­ rats and stooges, in the guise of "rugged individualists" in the NMU took it upon themselves to try to terrorize the Watermen seamen off the ships, the Waterman men really fouAd out what the score AA-as. But Avhen it ended up, the comrats Avere on the short, end of the score! PHONEY PROGRAM So, hurry up boys,—get your NMU books fresh oft' the press at bargain rates, Avhile they last!

I was told fha^a fireman and ah oiler, upon arrival of the SS Ormes in San Pedro, contacted. Agent Quinn to ship out of ths IWW liall in New Orleans. Lo and behold! Reminds me of '35 and '36, when the commies were sabotaging with those rotten scandal sheefs on Clay Street. Commies may try to wreck the only Union in the Gulf—the StU. 1 believe that the veal W. C. Fire­ men will stick with us through thick and thin. Eventually the W. C. Firemen will rid their Union of the dis­ rupters who want everything but unity of the seamen. There is supposed to be a letter here in the Gulf, that San Pedro Branch of the Firemen will start the move to ship out of the IWW hall instead of the SIU hall in New Orleans. I have my guess that none other than Bill Patton, brain-trust of the NMU, ex-Secre­ tary of the IWW, New Orleans, would try such tactics to split the W. C. Sailors and Firemen. No! No! No! How can a sailor, or fireman, or messboy, or whatever he sails at, when he sails—-Which is once in every ten" or twelve years—be the brains of the de­ funct NMU? Your guess Is as -j^od as mine. I believe the Firemen should try to visit some of the SHl ships in this port and look the crews over with one of the Delegates; and I aWdure you that he will find damned'good militant crews, and they will back up the SIU to the last man! So, Firemen, take a good .look for yourselves! 'To Hell with the braintrusts, and on t'o a powerful SIU! Fraternally, New Orleans, ^a., March ItIt being imperative that I return to,the Coast, it was necessary that I resign. Things are in good shape at present, with the exception that in the past week we have seen the Waterman ships return to their old tactics of one and two watches tieing up and letting go. On the Maiden Creek, the deck department refused to get oft to enforce the use of all hands, so they wanted to settle the beef in Mobile. WHAT IN HELL IS THE MATTER ^NYWAY? Let's have a little cooperation or find out why. DON'T LET CONDI­ TIONS GO BACK! PU*.« in there and keep punching! What the Hell is the matter with you? Thanking you fofTiast coopera­ tion. Red Carolan, GUP No. 3142 TO THE MEMBERSHIP: Dear Brothers; Just a line to thank you for the splendid cooperation shown to Brother Gunnison and myself during our recent trouble in Tampa. Through the support of you who donated to our .defense fund, and the rest of the members who were with us in every possi­ ble way, we were able to beat the phoney irap that the anti-labor forces were trying to put over on us. The anti-labor union phonies' main Idea is to frame the labor men who can't be bought off, if they canit be controlled by these same phonies. TliiB is one time that' they found out that they had a brilliant mili­ tant organization to fight. Instead of dust a couple of lonesome sea­ men. And when you brothers showed your solidarity by your donat'ions, they realized that they were heading into a real battle, and so the phoney charges were dropped by the man who has done the most to disrupt the labor movement in the Florida district Thanking you brothers for your Support, and assuring you that it makes me proud to be a member John B.

He vvas an elderly brdtjier, who has sailed for years, and is a real old time 'seaman who knows his stuff, and can do it.

The Delegates went in and held a lengthy conference with this mate, and It ended up by this Brother being signed on.

Today, the 'Selma City was in, and when the patrolman and the or­ ganizer went down there, they couldn't get aboard. It's impos­ sible to contact the crew or do any good, unless we do get' these passes. I helieve that if we force the issue here in the Gulf, and also on the East Coast, plus the West Coast, there is no doubt that the company will come coco. The action which took place on the Atlanta City, in New Orlean::, when Dean and the boys lined up that crew, should show all hands that it can be done, and that if should be Jone NOW!

Tli^^ members elected WilUain "Scotty Ross to go to Florida and set up the machinery for negotiating an agreement with the P&O and just before they start the old crap' about domination, he had or­ ders from the members what to go after, and What to do.

I'il Miami, Fia., March 15—rArriyed here last Tuesday night and found that the crew of "the SS Florida had pulled something which had failed. Upon investigating, X found this job-action to be more or less of a mess. The black-gang came off at six o'clock, and asked the other departments to follow them. The other department^ not knowing what the beef was for, felt that, having acquired dem­ ocracy by pledging themselves to the SIU, they were entitled to their constitutional rights. Theg immediately held a meeting, at which the beefs were brought out:i the fresh milk was not fresh, but was a mixture, and the black-gaag had a kick about their quarters« Inasmuch as the company had not been notified about the milk, and the quarters would be changed as soon as tlie material was OH board, the rest of the crew felt if was a bum beef, and refused to bade it up at the time. However, some of the black-gang stayed ashore, and the company put re­ placements aboard, and sailed the ship. Upon the vessel's return, the Union took the stand that in­ asmuch as a man has the right to quit, and that the company had, in times past, fired men on short notice, therefore these men were justified in quitting, as they had a good reason to do so. Also, the company had not made any effort to procure men through the Union Hall. 'These men who took the ship out had to get off, and gpod Union men were shipped in their places, from the Union Hall.

COMMISSION Shipping;^ Comimseioner to Register Unemployed Seamen in Puerto Rico Ac('()rdii\<r to iiifonnalion forwarded from Sa'ii Juan, P. R., the acting Sliipping Commissioner, Mr. Alejatulro Rubio, has opened a Phnk Hall in that port. It is declared to be a sort of registry foi' unemployed seamen wlio arc looking for work on American vessels, or rather, those under the control of' the U.S. Maritime Commission. The claim is that this is be­ ing done in order to avert friction with the seamen's Unions who are at present snpp]> ing the unlicensed personnel to privately own^ ships. Mr. Rubio's- communication to the unem]»loyed seamen states that in conformity with Section "4508 of the Revi.sed Statutes ofThe TJnited States, the office of the Sliippihg Commi.ssioner in the Custom House at San Juan will maintain a registration of the names and addresses of all iniemployed seamen. This registry, it is claimed, is maintained for the convenience of seamen seeking jobs, and also for captains of vessels who desire to employ seamen. It is fiirther .stated that .ships otficers will have the privilege of personally select­ ing men from this registry in the Commissioner's office. So new they have a Fink Hall in San Juan! Just one more step in the program of regimentation fostered by the ship­ owners and their stooges! Let the bona fide seamen in Puerto Rico take actiou against this vicious evil without delay!
