NEW ORLEANS S.I.V, OFFICIALS FIND:
Officials of the Seafarers International Union at New Orleans
have been enffayed in traclinf/ down the facts in the case of the.
8.8. Delaryentina, which several weeks ago teas played up by Mer
chant Marine Naval Reserve authorities as a veritable hotbed of
"subversive" activities. .According to a certain Lieutenant Blancq
of the V. 8. Navy, Ncasi swastikas were supposed to have been painted
on board the ship and a Union delegate was alleged to have instructed
the seamen of the crew not to enlist in the Naval Reserve. These
charges were presented to the House Naval Affairs Committee for
Investigation by Capt. John Shafroth, Navy man in charge of the
Naval Reserve Division of the United Stales Bureau of Navigation,
without any attempt being made to verify or substantiate them.
AH was reported in the last issue. Agent A. W. Armstrong of
the SIU Branch at New Orleans flatly denied the charges as soon
aa they appeared in the press. The case has been under further
scrutiny of the Union since and here is what Brother M. D. Biggs,
Gulf District Representative of the SIU, had to report on the
whole affair at the last meeting of the Union:
