SlU MEMBERSHIP VOTES TO
RESPECT NMU PICKB LINES
Membership Resents Propaganda Being
. Circulated by Waterfront Gossips
NMU CLEARANCE NOT NEEDED
At New York Headquarters meeting on April 17, the assembled
memhership iinanimously endorsed the following Resolution:
• * WHERAS: The shipowners have forced a lockout on tankers
.by TOfuaina to renew the agreement, so therefore
,9
BE IT^hESOLVED: That we, the members of the Seafarers'
• Intematlohhl Union of North America, reaffirm our previous
stand, and respect any picket line established against the bosses
. for wages or conditions.
TIKT Resoliitidh was signed* by
Matthew Dushane and Roland
Disan, and,, the membership enthu
siaHtically voted in ith favor.
Vicious Propaganda
Certain elements within the
NMU have been circulating propa
ganda that the STU was planning
to ship finks on the tankers, and
tlieforegoing Resolution gives the
lie to these vicious statements.
The STU has never had any inten
tion, ofattempting to move in on
the NMU *wh6ii

timate strike: in progress, and
does not endorsenor condone Buch
tactics.
' ,
However, we understand that
the NMU powersthatbe have
taken it upon themselves to de
mand that all men shipping out,
regardless of Union affiliation,
must get a clearance card froin
the NMU! Needless to say, we do
uot endorse any such dictatorial
policy. When a man ships from
the STU Hall, and has in his pos
session assignment cards indicat
ing to what ship he is being senf,
it should most certainly be evi
dence enough that he is not going
aboard any NMU tanker!

yS TANKERS SAIL, N.M.U.
ASSERTS 37 ARE TIED UP"
MAKE JOB ACTION WATCHWORD
(Headline in the N. Y. Herald
Tribune, April 21.) '
It is a fine state of affairs when
striking tankermen are compelled
to rely on the Capitalist press for
news pertaining to the progress
made in their struggle with the
oil companies. Without bias, one
can ea.sily state that the, only offi
ciel news put out by the N.M.U.
comes on par with the news found
in'the "Ladies Home Journal". It
there ever was a time when
Joseph and the rest of the brhin
trust (?) owed the rank and file
some clear and definite inforiba
tion, now is the time. The men. on
the picket lines have a daifiUfid
good explanation, coming to them
for the strange antics, arid theo
ries that their representatives
have cbine biit' with so far. Frank
ly, from the viewpoint of men
who have been through a few
strikes, the question: "What is it,
stupidity of deliberate sabotage
that Is behind the policy of the
N.M.U. in its present stand on the
tanker strike?" is not out of place,
nor impertinent.
"Hot Oil" Question
Why has there not been proper
preparations made to get' the
picketlines funtioning at top
speed from the moment the strike
was called? Why has Joe Curran
permitted the SS Exchorda to sail
with "hot oil," thereby making
(Continued on Page Four)
The Eastern Steamship Go. has flatly refused to deal with
the Negotiating Committee on terms any other than their
own, and put up the phoney plea that if they are forced to
sign any agreement for increased wages or overtime, they
will go broke! They claim that if the contract is altered in
any way from the one under which we have been working
for the past year, they will have to tie their ships up. This
is plain unadulterated bunk! With the advent of the World's
Fair here, this company is quite naturally anticipating a de
cided increase in the passenger traffic, and we understand
th^ they are Jilready hooked up solid for practically the
wHol" summer. THERE IS NO VALID REASON WHY
THE SEAMEN SHOULD NOT ALSO SHARE IN THESE
PROFITS! WE HAVE PUT UP WITH THE COMPANY'S
PLEA OF POVERTY MUCH TOO LONG!
Further Evidence
Against Eastern
Refusb to Ad^st
Condttions in
Stewards Dept.
COMPANY PROFITS
Further evidence of the Eastern
Steamship' Co.'s unwillingness to
grant any concessions whatsoever
to the Negotiating Committee, was
their reaction to the following con
ditions asked for in the steward's
department:
1. An increase in the personnel
of the steward's department on all
ships.
2. Adjustment of pay for all
ships, bringing them up to the
scale of the BostonNew York
ships.
,
3. Eight hours in port, and
nine hours at sea for passenger
ships.
4. Vacations.
(Continued on Page Four)
No Un,just Demands
The Negotiating Committee did
NOT make any unjust demands of
the EastCTn Steamship Co., and
asked oliiy fbr what the men on
the ships had ;^already stated they
wanted. They are now circulat
ing the phoney propaganda that
we are deliberately trying to
break them through alleged exor
bitant demands, in a vicious at
tempt to descredlt your officials!
Place absolutely no credence in
any such rumors, because they are
false!
The Committee asked that the
working hours for the steward's
department be adjusted to a more
reasonable standard. The Com
pany refused to even consider this,
and made the statement that the
men In this department do not
actually, work over an average of
six hours a day. When asked to
back this statement up by putting
in. the agreement that the work
ing hours of the steward's depart
ment s.hall not be more than six
hours a day, they immediately
craweled out from under!
Overtime Refused
The Cofaipany inriists that one
hour in twentyfour be allowed for
the purpose of docking and un
docking, and also insist that it
must apply to both deck and en
gine departments. Why should
any man work an extra hour with
out compensatiori? This particu
lar condition has long been a bone
of contention, and must be
stopped!
The Company flatly refuses to
pay overtime to the deck depart
ment for work performed after
5:00 P.M. and^ before 8:00 A.M., or
on Saturday afternoons, Sundays
or holidays, for the wat'ch on deck,
't'he system of sailors performing
manual work at night has long
been outmoded, and there is no
good reason why the ESSCO
should not also get up tq date.
On the New YorkBoston rim
ships, we asked for a double day
for both Saturday afternoons and
Sundays, but the company will
grant the double day for Sunday
only.
Extension Granted
We were gracious enough to
grant the Eastern Steamship Co.,
a fifteen day extension of the:
agreement, but^—what came of it?
Nothing was accomplished during ,
that fifteen days, other than the
fact that it afforded the company
a further opportunity to sta'U
around, and plant a few more
stooges on their ships. Now—
after this extension of time—they
don't want to grant any of our '
perfectly just demands!
Efforts Abandoned
The Negotiating Committee has
abandoned all further efforts to
reach a satisfactory agreement
with the Company, as they are
well aware that they do not in
tend to accede to any of our de ,
m'ands, and have assumed an ada
mant, dictatorial pose! They have
flritly refused to grant any in
crease in wages!!
The questibn noyv copfrontinffM

CONTINUE TO WORK UNDER
THE OLD PHONEY AGREE
MENT? Or: DO YOU WANT AN
AGREEMENT WITH INCREAS
ED WAGES, IMPROVED WORK .
