^gQjtiqting Committee Negotiations
Respmed—Picket Line Going Strong!
The crew of the SS ALGlC, operated by the Seas Shipping
Co., hung thehook on the tub in a dispute over the war
bonus to be pa4d by the company for the run to South Africa.
This action was taken when the chairman of the shipowners'
committee, Mr. Mullen, objei^ed to the presence of Morris
Weisberger, a member of the SIU negotiating committee.
Brother Weisberger, Agent for the SUP in the port of. New
York, is a member of the organization committee of the SIU.
The union took the position that it reserved the right to
select its own negotiators without any dictation from the
shipowners, and negotiations broke down following this high
handed action by the shipowners' committee. Following this,
the crew of the ALGIC hit the bricks and established a picket
line around the ship. The picket line is being observed by
the International Longshoremen's Association who ceased
loading the vessel when the picket line was established, also
the AFL TeamstersUriion.
^
Shipowners Apologize
Later the same day, the
company ofhcials called the
Union office and requested
that negotiations be resmned.
THE SIU AGREED TO RE
SUME NEGOTIATIONS AF
TER THE SHIPOWNERS
HAD APOLOGIZED TO
BROTHER WEISBERGER
AND THE UNION'S COM
MITTEE FOR THEIR IN
SULTING ATTITUDE. Our
opinion of the reason for the
shipowner's objection to the
presence of brother Weis
berger is that the SUP had
already established a TOP
bonus rate for the run to
South Africa negotiated by
Weisberger on other ships in
the same run and they knew
Weisberger had the goods on
them.
Bonus Demand!
The SIU Is demanding a one
dollar per day; bonus from the
day the ship leaves the last load
ing port In the United States
until her return to the first Uni
ted States port. This demand Is
amply justified by the fact that
{Continued on Page 4)
IN THESE
PERILOUS
TIMES!
iNothIng is safe in these un
settled times as witness the case
of Brother Daniel Duffy. The
brother, deciding he was as good
as Steve Brodie any day, dived
gracefully from a second story
window In a neighboring hotel
and on coming to at the Marine
Hospital found that his suitcase
and other gear which he had In
adverently left behind in his
room at the hotel had been taken
to headquarters, by the police.
However, upon his release from
the hospital and application at
headquarters for his suitcase, the
police informed Brother Dan that
some lowljfe had stolen his suit
case from the police storage
room. Brother Duffy Is of the
opinion that it's getting to be a
helluva world when a man can't
jump out of a window without
buying his gear stolen, especially
when It's being watched by a
couple of hundred cops.

One of our SIU crews are strut

to talk to after what happened
the other day. The U.S. Steam
boat Inspector went aboard the
COMET Of the COLONIAL
LINE and after making his in
spection had the foilowliig com
ment to make:
A Union that puts out ^nen oj
the kind J find on the "COMET'
should get credit. I have been on
many ships, but have not found
a better lot of men in every de
partment than I now have before
me.
Captain Strickland and his
crew, are, in my estimation, as
good a setup as can be found on
any ship. And as for service in
the Stewards Department, I find
it OK and on this trip I have had
many of the passengers compli
ment the Stewards Department
for their courteous efficiency.
The SS COMET carries a com
plement of 65 men, S9 of whom
are in the Stewards Department
and the Union delegate reports
that all are good union men and
a credit to the organization.

Get Wage Raise on Coatswise Lines!
Tlie RECORD of the past few months of negotiations
mth the Coastwise operators for an increase in wages and
overtime proves CONCLUSIVELY that the wage increase of
$5 per mouth granted the NMU members sailing on the
Coastwise ships was due SOLELY and ENTIRELY to the
militant action taken by the Seafarers International who
WON an increase of from $7.50 to $10 per month PLUS 10
