Announcing that he must "very positively dissent" from
an award "which denies the unlicensed personnel . . . vir
tually all of their demands which had been presented to
the Board for adjustment", Charlton Ogburn, attorney for
the Seafarers International LJnion who served on the Arbi
tration Board in the dispute between the union and the
New England Steamship Company's New Bedford subsi
diary, sharply criticized the decisions of the majority of
the Board.
Arbitration was agreed upon after a four days' strike,
conducted last July by the S.I.U. on the New Bedford,
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamboat Line, was
subjected to a barrage of "public pressure" from various
Chamber of Commerce meetings, state officials and federal
"mediators".
The socalled award is one more example of how arbi
tration is used as a cover underneath which the shipowners
are able to stymie the just demands of seamen with al
legedly "impartial" support.
Provisions of Award

The award, signed by Mr. Earle B. Perry, who represiented the company on the Board and General Cole, who
acted as "impartial" chairman, refuses point blank the
union's demand for a $10 increase in basic monthly pay—
except for a $5 raise for quartermasters—rejects the union's
demand that the company recognize the nine legal holidays
in its agreement with the S.I.U. and in making a "concession" to thie union by granting the 10c per hour increase in

As a member of the Board of Arbitration, I am unable to sub
• eribe to the award by the Chairman, General Charles H. Cole, and
the Arbitrator for the Company, Mr. Earle B. Perry, which denies
to the unlicensed personnel, employees of this line, virtually all of
their demands which had been presented to the Board for adjust
ment, except an increase of 10 cents an hour in overtime to certain
of the unlicensed personnel. In my opinion, the evidence presented
to the Board during the hearings, which began in the State House in
Boston on August 14, 1940, and were concluded on August 21, 1940,
demanded an award granting at least partially the request of these
employees. Since the findings of the majority members of the Board
undertook to draw the deductions from the evidence on which the
award is based, it would be in order for me very briefly to draw the
deductions from this evidence on v^nich my dissent Is based. This
evidence fails Into the following classes;
(a) Comparable wages In the Maritime industry on the At
