I i: No. 17 SIU Fights Coast Guard Grab For Post War Jurisdiction Over Seamen The United States Coast Guard has opened its long eximcted maneuver to win peace time jurisdiction over merchant seamen. Having obtained this jurisdiction temporarily for the duration of the war, through Executive Order 9083, the brass hats and their shipowner sponsors now hope to continue to keep merchant seamen in a military straight-jacket permanently. A public hearing called by the Coast Guard on proposals to transfer all functions of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation from the Department of Commerce to the U. S.

The interest shown is to be noted as progress, and a fellov/ can hardly keep from comparing the difference in the membership's point of view now and that of a few years back. All hands today realize the problems facing the seamen in the post-war period and the necessity of building up strength and re­ sources for our organization in our fight to maintain and raise our conditions. The enthusiasm and interest shown by the Seafarers' membership on these things, especially the building and strike funds, shows that the membership are aware of our problems. 4. it S. 4 The new booklet, "Here's How, Brother," is causing plenty of comment. This comment comes, not only from our membership who like it very much, but from other trade unions as well. We have had numerous request from other unions in other fields for copies of this booklet. Speaking of educational booklets, the next one of the Seafarers series should be ready very soon for the membership. This is the one regarding the conducting of meetings, both ashore and aboard ship. This booklet, once distributed, should result in better meetings for it gives the manner in which to bring up various points for dis­ cussion, etc. It is worded in the same language as "Here's How, Brother" and it will be illustrated with cartoons by Bernard Sea­ man, the same guy who does the cartoons for the LOG and our other booklets, etc 1 4. 4 5- 4The recently launched organizing program of the Seafarers is getting the full support of our membership, not only in taking jobs with unorganized companies, but for the distribution of our literat­ ure in the various SIU ports. There is no question but what this drive will be successful. With the membership giving their support in such a manner it is hardly possible to do anything other than to succeed. • There is something that our members riding our contracted vessels can do to help this organizing drive. That is, regardless of the port you are in, whenever you are around any crew members of unorganized ships, spread the good word of the Seafarers and tell these people the score. Tell them the benefits of unionism over the cut-throat policy and insufficient living wages and conditions of non-unionism. In doing this, one effective thing to be used is the Seafarers Lqg. For that reason, it is more neccessary now than eyer before that our papers, literature, etc., be given full distribution in all ports of the world. So all of you members in contracted ships should take care of the literature put aboard your ship by the union Patrolman and see to it that it gets into the hands of as many unorganized seamen as possible, regardless of the port. . The men who know, the men on the fighting lines who depend upon the merchant seamen for their supplies, are aware pf the splendid job lhat the seamen are doing. Mai^ tributes have been paid to these seagoing civilian heroes, who until recently had a higher ANTWERP DOCKERS STILL FIGHTING OPPRESSION (LPA) Recently dock workers in Antwerp, Belgium, went out on strike in protest against the low wages on the dockside. On being promised wage raises, they returned to work. The promise was not kept. When they started a protest stoppage, they were locked out for 15 days. The lock­ out was lifted only after a mass demonstration of dock workers went to the Town Hall. European labor leaders are pointing with pride to the fact that the tradi­ tional militancy of these workers has not been broken even by the years of Gestapo terror. Workers who have been in the front ranks of the fight against Nazism are not simply looking for a "return to normalcy." Employers who try to beat them down are going to find that these workers are pre­ pared to fight oppression at home just as bitterly as they fought the Nazi oppressors from abroad. casualty rate than the armed forces, but who nevertheless' kept the ships sailing and delivered the goods. yi& print below a few of the tributes paid the merchant sea­ men by men who know the story. The list is much too long to be included in its entirety, but the latest commendations are given; "In behalf of the men of my command, I thank the men of the Merchant Marine for their pledge of full cooperation in our com­ mon effort to destroy the forces of tyranny and darkness. The huge quantities of supplies that have been brought across the Atlantic are a testimonial to the job that has already been done." General Dwighl D. Eisenhower. "It is a source of great pride to see how these sailors of the United States Merchant Marine are cooperating in every way to enable the soldiers of the United States Army to reach the far shore in the best of condition." The laie Brigadier General Maur­ ice Rose, Second Armored Di­ vision. The men who carry the ships of the merchant fleet to far off ports and up to dangerous beaches^"the men responsible but who are never praised enough, the men of the U. S. Merchant Mar­ ine" received high praise from Cpl. Lawrence E. Albrillon, Mar­ ine veteran of the South Pacific, at a recent launching of a Victo:^ ship in Oregon. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, in a message read to 1,000 Maritime Service officer candidates at Al­ ameda, praised "the valor of the merchant seamen partici­ pating with us in the liberation of the Philippines." "With us they have shared the heaviest enemy fire," said his dispatch, read by Capt. H. H. Dreany, assistant commandant of the Maritime Service. "On these islands I have ordered them off their ships and into foxholes when their ships became untenable targets of at­ tack. At our side they have suf­ fered in bloodshed and death. The high caliber of efficiency and the courage they displayed in their part of the invasion of the Philippines marked their conduct throughout the entire campaign in the Southwest Pacific. They have contributed tremendously to our success. I hold no branch in higher esteem than the Mer­ chant Marine Service." THE MEMBERSHIP VOTES IN NEW YORK iV. ITALY WORKERS ARE FIRM AGAINST FASCIST LEADER (LPA) Threats of reprisals not­ withstanding, workers in north­ ern Italy have refused to desig­ nate representatives to serve in the fake unions of the Fascist government. Mussolini's Minis­ ter of the Interior has threatened the owners of the factories where these workers are employed with court martial, if they do not ob­ tain from their workers a big vote for the government. So far, the workers have stood firm against the Fascist unions. Ready, willing, and able—and eager—are these brothers lining up before the polling booths, to have their books checked.

The story is all about their educational work, "leadership" school and "labor-managenaent cooperation." Last but not least, the story tells how the NMU is teaching the boys that it is wrong to strike even in peace time. Mr. Daniel "Squeaky" Boano is the Master of Cere­ monies with Professor Leo Huberman conducting the sell­ out symphony. The article should have been written by Beatrice Fairfax, but since it really does show the real faker role of the NMU it does all right anyway. Incidentally, Basil Harris, head of the U. S. Lines, happened to be around at the same time the writers were, and was highly eulogized by the NMU fakers as "a great friend of Labor and a true union man"—^so soon are picket lines forgotten. W. M. GETS THE BUSINESS and everything was carefully in­ vestigated by Lt. L. D. Connor FROM COAST GUARD and Lt. J. F. Strumpf of the Several months ago .my sea­ man's certificates were revoked indefinitely by a U. S. Coast Guard officer in Norfolk. I When my ship was in Bizerte, the army had courtmartialed me on a couple of charges—Coming aboard under the weather, tak­ ing a few nips in the foc'sle, etc. ^ I wa." fined and sentenced to thirty days in the army stockade. When I came out I shipped on another boat which was on a shuttle run. I kept my nose, clean for a few months and then had another courtmartial in Mar­ seilles, for which I was fined. JThe Marseilles courtmartial re­ cord was sent to Norfolk, and that is the one where they claimed I was supposed to be pre­ sent for a hearing. My certificates were revoked in Norfolk last December, and an appeal to have the case reopened was turned down by Norfolk. I then filed an appeal with Admiral Chalke in Washington, which has to be done in thirty days. I thought my case was hopeless, so I didn't follow it up. Several weeks later I received a card from the Coast Guard say­ ing that if I was still interested in the case to make a notarized statement giving my reasons for thinking I should have my papers back. My main reason waS' that I hadn't been properly notified that a hearing was to be held, and also that up until last trip I had had a clear record. ^ I proved that I had never been notified; also that the Norfolk unit was very careless of the facts. I could prove everything I said by the dates on my papers Coast Guard headquarters in Washington. The outcome was that the charges against me are dismissed and my papers are OK. The two lieutenants who helped me in Washington went to a lot of trouble. They also took responsibility on themselves by having a dispatch order sent to Norfolk. That dispatch order was a big thing as it had to be OKed by Admiral Chalke, captains, commanders, etc.. It also kept the draft board off my neck as I was scheduled for a pre-induction physical. They are also going to investi­ gate other cases heard by the Norfolk unit; so any one who can give good reasons for reconsider­ ation should get in touch with the Washington CG headquarters. Duke Dushane, here in Wash­ ington, is the man who showed me how to go about all" of this, and he spent plenty of his own time doing it. Duke figures that if I wrote to the Log and ex­ plained my case, it might help others who have had the same trouble. SIDNEY DAY.
