AFL To Open "Service Bureau" In New York The American Federation of Labor has opened in New York a city-wide "Service BUreau" which will aid all AFL members in the metropolitan area with their personal and family problems. This Bureau, located at 10 East 40th Street, is supported by the New York Labor War Chest. The SiU has grown so rapidly in size that it has all but outgrown the new hall recently acquired in New York—• at least as far as membership meetings are concerned. At last Wednesday's meeting (the first regular bi-monthly meeting), so many men were on the beach that it was impossible to get them .all into* the meeting hall. 700 men crowd­ thousands of men on the beach ed into the third floor meeting in all ports. room, and the overflow of 300 The first of the bi-monthly were forced to gather on the dis­ meetings (every other Wednes­ patching deck, one flight down. day) was called for 7 o'clock.

"If all of the AF of L unions established Welfare Committees and did an efficient job, we would iiave a picture of 600 t6 700 unions in New York City trying to learn about the available ser­ vices in the dity and endeavoring to establish effective contact with all agencies operating in each field. The effectiveness of so many unions operating independ­ ently would be measurably re­ duced. "Such duplication of time, money and effort of each indi­ vidual union could be elimin­ ated by a central service bureau equipped to serve all unions in Greater New York City, "A cursory examination, of health and welfare services in New York City indicates that there are over 1,100 agencies in this field and that these are, broadly speaking," equipped to handle the following types of problems: ' "I. HealthHospital and convalescent caire. Cancer, tuberculosis, and heart ailments. Physically handicapped. Mental hygiene. Others. "il. Care of the Aged. "III. Children's Services— • Camps — Health Services — Temporary Shelters, bay Nurseries — After school programs. Placement of children outside their homes. Delinquency. "IV. Family Welfare Services. "V. Lggal Aid. "VI. Assistance to the Foreign Born. "VII. Public Assistance. "A central service bureau which is known to and used by all of the AF of L unions in New York City, can help them meet such problems of their members by placing them in contact with the appropriate agencies. "One of the great problems which we will be facing in the near future will be the accom­ modation of demobilized veter­ ans of which two groups are of particular interest to unions: Veterans who are already union members. Prospective union members. "It is important to note that the AF of L in New York City, with its 750,000 members, repre­ sents the interests of approxim­ ately 300,000 to 500,000 families with an estimated population of one and one-half to two million people, or about one-quarter of the total population. We can, consequently, assume that onefourth of the veterans returning will either be AF of L members or will come from families of AF of L members. The AF of L in New York City has a definite responsibility to these veterans and should be in a position to render services to them. "Veterans services offered by the Veterans Service Center, es­ tablished by the War Manpower Commission, include: "The protection of veterans' rights as devised by law under As head of Ihe division bf provision for revision Was a man of prompt decision.

These beefs concerned all hands on deck and the three oilers. The sailors had a beef regarding seciority watches which were stood in Russia; the oilers beef was in regards to carpenter work in the engine room on day work. After contacting the company on these beefs, I Was told that the ship was here in New York and that the company would contact the Ghief Engineer and the Chief Mate to verify if this work was done. The Chief Engineer claimed that the oilers worked thirty-two hours, figuring at the rate of adding each fifteen minutes work­ ed a.«? a full hour. Explaining wasn't necessary, as the company was only interested in whether the men worked or not, and so they agreed to pay the full amount that the oilers claimed. The Chief Mate claimed that the men didn't stand their watch on deck at all hours of the night. His claim was that he only or- rdered one man on deck at vari­ ous times. Well, we convinced him that when a man was on deck during a security watch he was entitled to overtime in ad- ' dition to his regular $6 rate. The beef was settled on this basis. All this money can be collected at Calmar, 44 Whitehall St., N.Y.C. Since Brother Michelet is now Agent in New Orleans, we have k new food handler in the person of Brother Shuler.
