Not only is the SIU bitterly against Fink Bboke, but, since the inception of the program to shackle the seamen, th® Sailors' Union of the Pacific and its Pacific Coast allies suc­ cessfully have fought the Fink Book. In the past two years, even the NMU has come to see the danger to organized labor presented by the Fink Book. If dangerous to organized seamen, how-much more danger­ ous it is to individual seamen! Among a part- of the SIU mem­ bership, there seems to be some bewilderment about this. We hear the book is convenient. It's an easy way to keep one's papers straight.

Grove" left the boneyard here where she has been tied up for some time Plynn, chief-scabherder fcr the Isthmian line, and his stooge Roche, had it all doped out how to create lots, of trouble and confusion. Their policy in the past has been to go over a man's record from A to Z, and If he suited them, maybe he was shipped. They have never called any union hall before, but this time they figured like this: "The SlU u get­ ting too militant. Tney picketed the Fink Hall, and they'll probably do the same with this junk-heap if it doesn't suit them." So, lo and beiiold, Plynn calls "Little Cae.sai" Whalen at Commy Headciiiarters and ordered a crew for the Grove. It seems as though Paddy went right down the line with the Isth­ mian flnkherder by shipping most of his stooges and leaving the rank and file members of the NMU standing on the dock trying to fathom what Paddy the Dope and Pink-herder Plynn were up to.

Tampa Agent Accused In Pistol Fray Charged Witb Attempt To Kill Former ISU Agent; Free On Bond Tampa, Pla. (WCS).—Agent John Gunnison and Brother Hart were arrested last week and charged with shooting Bob Epps, former ISU and AFLSU agent here. Epps has been trying tc stir up an "independent movement' among Seamen, and has applied to the State of Florida for an "independ­ ent charter," it is reported. He has been using goon-squad and gun­ man methods i. an attempt to block progress of the Seafarers' In­ ternational Union at Tampa. When Hart and Gunnison were arrested and held for bail, Organ' jzer Roland Dean got in touch with William Green who was at Miami. President Green gave every possible assistance in getting the men reieased. Tlris was " tough job. Gunnison and Hart are now free on 2,500 dollars bond each, charged with attempting to murder Epps. Epps is reported to be in a hospital being treated for a supposed shot in the hip, said by hospital attend­ ants to be very slight. He says he was called from his fruit and vegetable stand" at Howard and Swann Avenues by two men who hred at him and then ran to a parked automobile half a block away. Epps figured recently in a court suit here jointly brought by the A. P. of L. and the Seafarfers' In­ ternational Union to restrain him from recruiting A. P. of L, mem­ ber s into a riva. "independent" union. no delegates, nothing. She was due to sail at 2:00 P.M. the same day. The Patrolman called a meeting where delegates for each department were elected; then, action started The main squawk was that mem­ bers of the steward's department were overworked, so an additional man was demanded. The Skipper and "he manager were notified, but they said "no smoke." At 12:30 the steward's department all quit the ship. At 2:00, sailing time, the Skipper came aft and asked each member of the crew to back up the company by moving the ship out to the "Point." The crew decided at a meeting to pay off in a body. At 3:30 the first bag was thrown on the dock. Before the bag had come to rest, the Skipper called "Hi." and agreed to ship the extra man The Kenowis sailed with a firstclass crew. Best result of this action is that the rest of the ships carry­ ing over eight passengers will carry the extra man in the Steward's department. LL.A. Wins Out 111 Tiff With CIO Stevedores ^lU Represeiilalives Fired LTpoii At Pier New Orleans, La. — Picket lines were formed around Swayne & Hoyt's "Point Brava" by the local I.L.A. after CIO longshoremen working aboard offered severe provo­ cation. Steam was shut off deck, so the CIO men sat around for the balance of the day. It is alleged that crew members lost personal belongings during the day with the result that all but crew-members were pleared off next morning. To confuse the issue even more, the company ordered the Point Chico from anchorage to mooring at the Galvez S*" eet dock. Early the next mornmg, CIO men swarmed over the dock and dumped the few men maintaining picket watch. SIU representatives went to the pier to investigate the ship's crew and were met by shots fired by some stooge. Members of the I.L.A. rushed to the dock, whereupon the CIO men took out for parts un'cnown, reports state. Several days later, the ships were being worked by I.L.A. longsnoremer under an agreement with the company. ALL HANDS REQUIRED FOR MOORING SHIP New Orleans, La. — There is a tendency on too many ships to chisel on working conditions by using insufficient men on jobs properly requiring all hands present In a recent case of this aboard the "Maiden Creek," the Captain planned to moor the vessel with only two watches on deck. The crew obeyed, but only after entering complaint. Once ashore, they went to the Hall where they were in­ formed that all hands must be used for this work. The demand for all hands was confirmed by the Mobile branch, so there will be no more chiseling on this score aboard the Maiden Creek. It seems the next beef will be to use all hands working on cargo gear. With this rmder our belt, we will be getting somewhere. ttend Tour Union Meeting. \ ^ -V/ IV .- . ; LOfi Friday, February 10, 1939 Beef on Seatrain $75,000 Needed Havana tor Ferries To (Continued from Page One) Resume Service Bull Line Crew Gets Paid For Holiday Work SEAFARERS' At New Orleans, the crew of the Seatrain New York wailked off in a body when news of tlie dispute on Thirty-Five Members Of the Havana reached them.
