Sellout in Midst of
S.I. U. Negotiations
All seamen should be made aware of the monstrous
swindle perpetrated by the "leadership" of the NMU in
foisting lower wage and overtime standaids on the seamen
under their control. There is more involved than just the
betrayal of the NMU membership. It is a matter of common
knowledge, to those familiar with the history of the labor
movement, that lower standards in one section of any particu

Report NMU Ready to Man Coastwise Ships
If SlU Strikes for Wages and Conditions
The, SIU negotiating committee met with the
officials of the Bull Line last week, on the
union's demand for an increase in the wage and
overtime rate. Our demand was for the regular
$10 per month raise, plus the 10 cents per hour
in the overtime rate. Having previously con
cluded successful negotiations for the ten and
ten, with other coastwise operators; namely. Sea
train, Range, Waterman, C & G lines, etc., the
SIU committee was determined to gain a similar
increase in the BuU One, one of the largest <if

Thus, the action of the leadership of the NMU in estab
