IV. ' 280 Longshoremen Ask Wage Boosts ' Demands for a H-cent an hour increase in present wage scales and a substantial increase in over­ time rates for longshormen were presented fo deep sea ship opera­ tors by the International Longshoremens Association at a meet­ ing in the offices of the New York Shipping Association, 80 Broad St. The present working agreement - between the shipowners and the union does not expire until Sept. 30, 1943, but contains a provision that it may be opened at this time to discuss possible wage adjust­ ments. According to Joseph P. Ryan, president of the I. L. A., the contract covers 43,000 dock work­ ers in North Atlantic ports from Portland, Me., to Hampton Roads, Ya. The union is asking an increase in the present daily rate from $1.20 an hour to $1.35 an hour and in the overtime scale from $1.80 to $2.05, to meet higher living costs, Mr. Ryan said after the meeting. The shipowners' conference group, of wliich John Lyon is chairman? is expected to meet some time tomorrow and give the union an answer on Friday. Mr. Ryan said the union wanted to continue doing business with the employers through collective bar­ gaining, if possible, without resort­ ing to outside arbitration. Florida Shipyards ' Under AFL Union NEW YORK, N. Y., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1942 United Seamen Service To Raise $5,000,000 For Homes And Clubs - aware of their services to society. An organization known After several months of research into the entire prob­ lem of safety at sea, the United States Coast Guard has is­ sued eight new regulations aimed at increasing the seamen's chances of survival in case of a torpedoing. The Coast Guard's safety directives are binding upon the shipowners and the equipment will be placed aboard the ships as rapidly as the material is available. Many of the new rules were orig­ inally submitted by the seamen themselves, and the Coast Guard has announced that it will give serious consideration to any furth­ er suggestion sent in by the men. It is felt that the men that actual­ ly go to sea are in the best position to know the score, and should take time out to write to Washington to present-their ideas. When writing to Washington, the letter should be addressed to the Merchant Marine Council, U. S. Coast Guard, Commerce Build­ ing, Washington, D. C. It would be a good idea to send a copy of any submitted suggestions to Mat­ thew Dushane, the SIU Washing­ ton Representative. He is at Hotel Harrington, Washington, D. C. The following are the new Coast Guard regulations: 1. New sea anchors shall have No. 2 Canvass. {Continued on Page 2) Navy Disclosures Boost Atlantic Ship Toll to 459 Navy disclosures of the loss of an American freighter in the the North Atlantic and a British ship in the Caribbean — boosted to 459 the count of losses in the Western Atlantic since Dec. 7. Seventy of the ships lost were manned by SIU crews. Two merchant sailors and two naval gunners were lost when Axis torpedoes blasted the me­ dium-sized American craft, b'ut forty-six survivors were rescued from rafts and a lifeboat by a British corvette and taken to a United Kingdom port. One of these men was hospitalized and the others have returned to the United. States. < All fifty-eight crewmen of the British vessel were rescued by a U.S. warship twenty minutes after their . boat went down. Survivors said they did not see their attacker. Chinese Seafarers Free By Authority NEW YORK, N. Y. —ITF — 13 5 Chinese seamen were released last week from Ellis Island where they had been detained by the United States immigration auth­ orities, and are free on parole with the understanding that they will ship out aboard United Nations vessels at an early opportunity. The Chinese seafarers were freed after successful negotiations be­ tween the immigration authorities and Chinese consular and labor representatives. According to the understanding, the men must try to find jobs aboard United Nations vessels within two months after their release. If they have not left the country within the specified ! period they must apply for an ex­ tension of their shore leave and furnish an explanation for the de­ lay. Chinese labor spokesmen also re­ ported the establishment of a branch of the Chinese Seamen's Union in Liverpool, England, un­ der the auspices of the Internation(Continued on Page 2) One hundred per cent union shops and top-notch working con­ ditions were won by A.

Jones Construction Company at Panama City, Fla., and the St. Johns River Shipbuilding Company at Jacksonville, Fla. Vice Presidents J. N. Davis and W. A. Calvin of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers play­ ed a leading part in the bargaining conferences. Davis supervised the negotiations in Panama City and Calvin in Jacksonville. The Wainwright yard is being expanded to six ways and will ' have 8,000 employes at its peak. The St. Johns yard will have 9,000. The keel of a 10,000 Liberty freighter was laid at the yard on Labor Day, with Davis as the chief speaker at the ceremonies. Calvin was principal speaker the same day at a ' celebration marking the launching of a minesweeper at the shipyard of the Savannah (Ga.) Machine and Foundry Company.

Harry Lundeberg is Vice-President of the United Seamen's Service. as the United Seamen's Service has been formed and will established rest homes and club house facilit­ ies for the men of the merchant marine. United .Seamen's Service, which will be known as "USS", has al­ ready established its central appar­ atus and is in the process of setting up branches in each port. The charter members of the organiza­ tion are Admiral Emory S. Land, Captain Edward Macauley, Harry Lundeberg, Basil Harris and Joseph Curran. These same men are on the Executive Board and will con­ trol the policies of the organiza­ tion. The services contemplated by the USS will require a great deal of money and a high pressure public­ ity committee has been established to raise funds from the general public. Douglas P. Falconer, for­ mer executive director of the Greater New York Fund, has be­ come administrative head of the USS, and will be located at 39 Broadway, New York City. Mr. Falconer said that an immediate fund of $5,000,000 would be raised to "finance the aims" of the organization. One of the largest contributions came from Henry J. Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder who constructed the S. S. Andrew Furuseth, who promised $3,000 for each ship building way. "Now that the nation recognizes the personnel of the merchant ma­ rine as the major heroes of this war we are moving without delay to put sustance behind the recogni­ tion," Mr. Falconer declared. "Plans will be completed within the next 10 days to take over es­ tates and other suitable places in New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl­ vania, Maryland and in sea coast cities in the Gulf and West Coast states," he said. A representative is already on the way to England, he added, and others will leave soon.for Russian ports. "It is not the purpose of the USS merely to entertain our mer­ chant mariners between ships," Mr. Falconer declared. "We will sec that their dependents ashore do not suffer from want, fear or ne­ glect and we will operate many services that do not occur as nec­ essary to the average man in the. street."

INFORMATION ON INSURANCE PAYMENTS After you have designated your benefigiary, inform that person. In the event tliat you are one of the unfortunate seaman who does not return, from sea, it is not necessary for your beneficiary to retain a lawyer to collect the $5,000 in­ surance benefit. Tell your beneficiary to contact your union hall for full informa­ tion. This money could be collect­ ed without a lawyer and at no cost to the beneficiary. Some attorneys are charging as high as $1,000. to collect the insurance. h v:I • '.v. ;i �Thursday, -September 17, 1942 THE SEAFARERS' LOG Page Three SEAFARERS' INTERNATIONA!; UNION -er NORTH AKERIGA ATUIIITIC and aULT D18TBICT The American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations levelled some big guns last week on the argument that wage increases necessarily lead to inflation. The AFL arguments were marshalled-by Boris Shishkin, economist, and member of the executive committee of the CPA Labor Policy Committee, in the American Out of the Focs^l ^^Federationist, official organ of the AFL. The CIO case was presented in Economic Outlook, monthly economic survey of the CIO. by X. Recently there appeared a letter in the local press by a woman known as Mrs. E., berating the men of the Merchant Marine., It cer­ tainly got the boys stirred-up on the Sixth Floor. They immediately began to write letters and poems in reply to straighten-out this poor unfortunate woman. To us it seemed like a personal grudge that she probably had against some bosu'n (as Whitey says) who turned her down. With the rest of the world giving recognition to the men of the Merchant Marine, for their valor and bravery,. ,w.e didn't think there would be anyone who would write such an asinine letter. To further educate Mrs. E., we would suggest that she walk around to the Custom House and on that building she would see a placque dedicated to the men of the Merchant Marine, who gave their lives in the World War that Liberty should perpetually endure. - "THESE MEN RENDERED THE GREATEST SERVICES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE FOR NATION AND CIVILIZA­ TION'S CAUSE. HUNDREDS OF PRECIOUS LIVES WERE LOST. A LOSS THAT NEVER CAN BE MADE UP BY THIS COUNTRY." WARREN G. HARDING. AAA In this week's issue appears a list of the Brothers lost up to Sep­ tember 1st. Over 400 Brothers are listed. Last week, another of our ships was lost of wliich 17 Brothers arc missing. Most of the Brothers were on torpedoed ships before, and caught it on their second effort. Telling argument in the AFL arsenal was the statement that workers now making 68c an hour are actually getting only 40c an hour according to last year's standards. Shishkin's argument put it this way: The worker gets 68c an hour which is equivalent to J 8c at last year's prices because the cost of living has gone up about 16%. Take - 10% off for war bonds, and he gets about lie an hour. Take payment of additional taxes off and his purchasing power goes down to about 45c an hour. When you take into considera­ tion that curtailment of install­ ment purchases has prevented workers from buying many things and that some families have a smaller income because a son or father left for the front, the "com­ bined effect is to bring the real wage currently received by the worker for consumer spending well below 40c per hour, even though his money wage is at the rate of 68c an hour."

Down to the Horn that spares not, up to the deathly flow. There is never a sea that daunts them, a peril they do not know. Trained by the storms and breakers, while the scud is flying free; Drilled by a black-out night-watch, while aching hours flee; Rise at 5 to a stinking-hot galley And say, "Hell, we're on our way." Look to your bulwarks, America!. Look to Old Glory unfurled! Point with pride to our Navy,—. The best in all the world. But what of our Merchant Marine, _ : Across the oceans huried? Wiper ,. What will you give them, America,— The men who sailed and died? Nothing, not even a retaining fee, Neither position or credit. But they are the finest that yet may be.
