N.Y.. FRIDAY, MAY 26. 1944 Vol. VI. No. 13 AFL Demands MWEB Restore Bonus ! f W^hing ton Flash !! I '? • "•• %l':' lb WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 25—The Maritime War Emergency Board has wired all signatories to the Statement of Principle that the Seafarers International Union has challenged their authority and wants to call another meeting and leave it up to all signatories. The meeting is to convene at 2:30 on June 6. 1944. In the wire which is printed below this text matter the MWEB attempts to make it appear that the Seafarers International Union is trying to create trouble. They set forth as an agenda for the meet­ ing two points: 1. Shall the present Maritime War Emergency Board be continued? 2. If so. what shall be the jurisdiction and authority of the Board? In the interests of keeping the record clear the SIU states its position as it has lime and time again in past issues of the SEAFAR­ ERS LOG. in the WEST COAST SAILOR, and in countless briefs filed with the Maritime War Emergency Board and in the minutes of the Board itself. The main reason that the representatives of the SIU have work­ ed on the issue of the bonus and kept fighting, is because the seamen are involved. That is the reason that the SIU is still in there punch­ ing, for a cut such as the MWEB recently pulled in the bonuses in the Pacific meant a cut in the round earnings to a seaman sailing there of some $70.00 per month. "it is noticable that the SIU took this position and carried it through without the cooperation of most of the other Unlicensed Unions in Marine; specifically without the officials of the NMU. the officials of the ACA. and the officials of the MFOW—which have been scheming under cover to sell the seamen down the river; for at the last meeting of the MWEB's Advisory Committee Myers and McKenzie of the NMU and their henchmen took the position that the bonus was " a dead issue and there was no use of beating a dead horse to death." We further teike the position: 1. That the bonus cuts must be restored to the pre-April 1st rates immediately. 2. We want assurance that the MWEB shall call not meet­ ings as they have in the past without an agenda, and these proposals already submitted to all Unions' represen­ tatives in sufficient time for consideration. Further, that they shall lake no such arbitrary actions as they have in the past, as exhibited in the recent bonus cuts. Following is the text of the wire: John Hawk. Seafarers International Union of North America 2 Stone Street. New York. N. Y. -To All Signatories to the Statement of Principles: The authority and jurisdiction of the Maritime War Emergency Board under the Statement of Principles to make adjustments in war risk compensation have been challenged by representatives of the Seafarers' International Union of North America and Sailors' Union of the Pacific at a meeting of the Board held on May 23. 1944. The Board takes the position that all of its actions since its inception have been within its authority as prescribed in the Statement of Principles and as recognized by the signatories. The Board is un­ willing to continue to exercise its functions unless and until its authority and jurisdiction are clarified to the satisfaction of all parties signatory and the members of the Board. The Board hereby calls a meeting of the parties signatory to be held at 2:30 P.M. on June 6. 1944. Commerce Building. Washington.

Chief Counsel For Federation, Back SIU Demands For Bonus Increases WASHINGTON, D. C., May 24—Biting comment was delivered before a specially called meeting of the Maritime War Emergency Board here last night by President Wm. Green of the American Federation of Labor, with Joseph Pad way, chief counsel for the Federation, and Mr. Wilson of his staff, as well as Harry Lundeberg, President of the Seafarers International Union of North America and Sec'y-Treasurer of the SUP, ^John Hawk, and Morris Weisberger, both Vice-Presidents of the SIU, together with Matthew Dushanc, the Union's Washington Representative. The members of the MWEB were challenged by the Union in a brief, that outlined all the com­ plaints that the seamen are nowvoicing on the issue of the recent bonus cuts. The fallacy of the position taken by the Maritime War Em­ ergency Board was shown and the right to make decisions was challenged—for it was charged, in essence, that they have usurp­ ed power to which they have no claim and are not entitled to un­ der the statement of principles, which specifically provides that the Board shall make no decis­ ions or call any meetings unless such are made on the basis of an Joseph Padway.

However, witnesses of the in­ cident declare that the big gas bag didn't deflate when it got tited. It bucked about some more in a stixTing wind dmring the Maritime Day ceremonies.+'and ship-owners' speech-making and snapped its cable. With typical disgust of .a gas­ bag for other gas-bags, the bal­ loon, perhaps one of the biggest of them all, started on a tour of its own and stopped first over Battery Park, with some of the boys in their uniforms chasing it in a station wagon. When they tried to drag its cable down the big gas-bag tossed discretion to the winds and took off some more. It then took a little jaunt along South Street, looking over the winos, with the station wagon in hot pursuit. It flirted around v ther^ a bit and then kicked its tail skirts around just as the bojrs in the wagon were about to catch it and headed out over the har­ bor. Not being an amphibious jeep, (commonly and better known as a "duck "), the station - wagon group was, foiled and they returned the commandeered ve­ hicle to its owners and went back to their ship irritated. With the contempt of its kind the balloon took a peek at the ferry boats at South Ferry and gleefully danced off toward Staten Island to see what was going on over there. All aircraft were warned of its being on the loose and out for horse-play; the Army was asked to have some of its fliers take tar­ get practice on it if it couldn't be headed home. All other gas-bags are warned that its is on the loose; perhaps they should be warned of the Army's instructions in case of mistaken identity. ii'l k �^yrT TT? .-•i 'y, 1 '• it Fri4«y.

This decision of April 1st is not only arbitrary and unjust in that St denies to seamen the war risk compensation to which they are entitled, but it is unauthorized and goes beyond the purposes for which this Board was created. The Maritime War Emergency Board was created for the pur­ pose of insuring stable labor re­ lations in the all-important ship­ ping industry after this country fiad been treacherously attacked by the Japanese and had entered Into war against the Axis nations. The President of the United States named its members and approved the principles defining the purposes and authority of the Board, which were drafted and unanimously signed by ship op­ erators and representatives of the Vai'ious seamen's unions. This Statement of principles definitely established this Board to act in a mediatory capacity to settle la­ bor disputes involving war risk compensation and limited its au­ thority to the settlem'bnt of such disputes. This Board then was not established as a triumvirate to determine war risk compensa­ tion for seamen in such amounts and in such a manner as the members of the Board felt were proper, but was established for the sole purpose of settling labor disputes between seamen and chip operators involving q u e s tions of war risk compensation. Yet, over the protest of the Sea­ farers International Union, the Board has constantly assumed this authority to set war risk compensation. I Can Not Go Unchallenged The Board's decision of April J1 ignores the statement of prin­ ciples which created it and it is exercising authority that was never given to it. This decision goes further than any of the Board's previoxis enlargements of its authority and can not go unchallenged and free from pro­ test. In this decision of April 1, 1944 the Maritime War Emergency Board in the absence of any dis­ pute between the Seafarers In­ ternational Union of the Ameri­ can Federation of Labor and any chip owner, and without afford­ ing the Union so much as an op­ portunity to be heard, changed the war risks compensation for seamen in such a way that all seamen suffered a loss of war risk compensation payments, but particularly the seamen plying the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The American Federation of La­ bor protests this decision, not only because it is beyond the Authority of the Board to issue, but also because of the drastic ireductions it has made in the war Wsk compensation payable to ail seamen and particularly seamen iBUpplying the Far East theater of war. I Port Attack Bonus ' First, the decision of April 1st changed the standard for paying bonuses in the event of enemy jBttack. Secondly, the decision unjustifiedly lowered the rate of voyage war risk compensation, jMJd, thirdly, the decision re­ bounds the combat areas in which additional or premium bonuses are paid in such a manner as to discriminate against the seamen of the Pacific. I shall speak first of the man­ ner in which the April 1st de­ cision changes the standard for paying attack bonuses. Prior to the decision of April 1st seamen received additional bonus pay if their ship was in a port under enemy attack. This port attack bonus was paid to all seamen subjected to the attack, whether or not a particular vessel was hit and damaged, or a particular seaman was injured or killed. The compensation was paid be­ cause the seamen had been sub­ jected to the hazards and risk of an enemy attack. The decision of April 1st changes the payment of this at­ tack bonus, so that it is payable only to those seamen on a ship that has been hit and damaged, or on which a seaman has been wounded or killed by enemy ac­ tion. The basis for the payment of the attack bonus prior to April 1st was the risks and hazards of personal injury while under en­ emy attack. The basis subsequent to April 1st is the misfortune of a fellow seaman, or of a ship, and this is a false, absurd and un­ realistic basis upon which to pay such a bonus. Same Risk To All Each seaman in port, while an enemy attack is going on, is sub­ jected to the same risk of being hit. All are subjected to the same fear. Seamen on a vessel that has been hit underwent no greater risks than those seamen on a ves­ sel lying nearby which, fortun­ ately, was not hit. The purpose of the attack bonus was to com­ pensate seamen for this risk they had been subjected to under en­ emy attack; not to compensate them because one of their fellowseamen might meet with misfor­ tune, How unsatisfactorily and unwanted the bonus when it is forthcoming only because a fel­ low shipmate has lost an arm, a leg, or a life. It is our desire that the attack bonus be re-establish­ ed on its original basis of allow­ ing men additional compensation when they have been under eneniy attack while being in port. In addition to changing the basis for paying attack bonuses in a manner which is completely unsatisfactory to the man involv­ ed, regardless of whether or not the change in basis might benefit them financially, the Board dras­ tically cut the voyage war risk compensation for seamen with­ out any sound basis for so doing. Prior to April 1st, seamen were paid a 100% bonus with a mini­ mum of $100. per month on all sea voyages with the exception of shipping along the West Coast. The April 1st decision cuts this voyage bonus by approximately 33 1/3% and extends the low bonus coast-wise shipping area of the West Coast to include about one half of the entire South Pa­ cific. Perhaps this drastic cut in war risk compensation is the re­ sult of the drop in the rate of ship sinkings. However, to lower voyage bonuses because ship (Contimied on Page 4) WASHINGTON — Ten of the 154 ships delivered during April were of the, fast, new .Victory cargo type, the Maritime Com­ mission announces. The swing to fast ships is proceeding as fast as possible, the commission said, and it is anticipated that a ratio of 11 of the fast type to 8 of the slower type will make up the 1944 tonnage. The 154 vessels delivered in April, totaling 1,593,691 dead­ weight tons, brings the year's to­ tal to 564 ships of 5,709,642 dead­ weight tons. This exceeds the first four months of 1943, the ban­ ner shipbuilding year, when 536 ships of 5,360,712 deadweight tons were delivered. West Coast yards delivered 62 of the 154 ships, and East Coast yards delivered 55. Gulf Coast yards delivered 36 and the Great Lakes area delivered one. The West Coast yards built 639,823 deadweight tons, 40.1 percent of the total tonnage in April. East­ ern yards built 606,511 dead­ weight tons, or 38.1 percent. The Gulf Coast yards produced 346,357 deadweight tons, 21.7 per­ cent, and the Great Lakes area, 1,000 deadweight tons, 0.1 per­ cent. The largest number of ships, 22, was delivered by the Permanente Metals Corp., Richmond, Calif., (Metal Trades-AFL). The Bethlehem - Fairfield Shipyard, Inc., Baltimore, Md., (lUMSWACIO) delivered the next largest number, 15. The third largest number was delivered by the New England Shipbuilding Corp., South Portland, Maine, (lUMSWA-CIO), 10. 4>- Hero Under Hazards (Continued from Page 1) Commemorating the heroism of an SIU seaman who died so that his crew mates might live, the SS Joseph Squires is now being launched as a new addition to America's great merchant fleet. Squires and another .se;.iman, Harold E. Whitney, volunteered to stay aboard the foundering Maiden Creek on New Year's Eve, 1942, to tend the falls and get the boats away. In so doing they were unable to get away themselves. The end of the Maiden Creek and the heroism of these two sea­ men was witnessed by SIU Brother Aaron McAlpin, 54-yearold member of the vessel's stew­ ard department. McAlpin was one of the 31 survivors and one of three out of the steward's de­ partment to survive. Bound for New York with a load of ore, the Maiden Creek ran into a severe Atlantic storm about 20 miles off Block Island. For twenty-four hours she was pounded by the seas and on the afternoon of January 31, after losing one of her boats and all of her rafts, she sent out an urgent SOS. Seas were breaking over her decks, according to McAlpin, and the ship was settling fast. Another vessel hove near late in the afternoon and signalled, telling them to abandon ship. But the Captain delayed, hoping to bring the Maiden Creek in, and the other ship, after circling them Geo. W.

Later it • was learned that officers of the ship thought the Maiden Creek' had been torpedoed; it didn't want to endanger itself by "hang­ ing around." Says McAlpin; "Just about dark she started to go down by the head and the skipper gave the order to abandon ship. The waves were terrific, thudding against the deck houses and giv­ ing the ship a terrible pounding. Worst of all, it was cold and all of us were soaked by the spray. "We used the starboard boats. Number one got away first. It hit a big sea but the crew knock­ ed the blocks out in a hurry and pulled away without smashing. It was mighty good seamanship. We wondered if we could do as well. "Our number thi^ee boat was next, but it was evident that someone would have to stay on board and handle the lines if we were to get away. "Squires and Harold Whitney, the Deck Engineer, volunteered. They lowered us away very care­ fully, timing it so we'd hit the water at the right moment. No one seemed a bit nervous or ex­ cited. A wave broke over us but we didn't swamp. "We had to fend the boat off to keep from being smashed against the hull and a few seconds later a sea carried us away from the side of the ship. When Squires and Whitney slid down the falls we were too far away and they had to drop into the water. Whit­ ney disappeared. Squires started swimming wuth all his might but he couldn't reach us. The Captain threw him a line and tried to maneuver the boat over to him, but-the waves were too strong. After a few minutes we lost sight of him." Besides paying tribute to the two men whose skill and sacrifice launched the boat, McAlpin also lauded the expert seamanship that kept them afloat in such heavy seas. "We had some mighty good sailors on that ship," he said. "They knew what to do and worked like a team." The men, some of them nearly frozen, w"ere picked up after four daj's. The other boat was never heard from again. Destiny Each Dawn, each Dusk, Forever finds us trying To reach our goal. The dream of millions.

Following presentation of the medal Admiral Vickery awarded the pennmit to the Delta Com­ pany. In so doing he congratu­ lated the men and women work­ ers for a job well done. Shortly after Pearl Harbor, Ad­ miral Vickery said, the President handed the merchant shipyards of this country one of the great­ est challenges in history — the construction of 8,000,000 tons of Shipping during 1943 and 16,000,000 tons during 1944. : Transpcriation Vital "There is no more vital part of war production than your assign­ ment," the Admiral told the workmen. "For battles are won by men, equipment and supplies and yet all three of these would be of little use without transpor­ tation to deliver them to the batJlefronts. "American shipyards met the feommander - in - chief's 1942 goal jand his 1943 objective they ex­ ceeded by 20 per cent. "The Delta yard has played an Important part in the tremendous (accomplishment. "The award you are receiving today places yoii in a class with the leading yards in the country Truly you have made the allAmerican team of merchant ship­ building." Urges Greater Efforts E. B. Williams, vice-president bf Delta, who served as masterbf - ceremonies, said more - than 6500 men lost their lives in the merchant marine during this war land he lu'ged the workers to greater efforts. Also making pleas for increasied achievement were W. H. Gerbauser, president of Delta, who jaccepted the pennant and James Dalzell, general superintendent of |he shipyards. Others termed the shipbuilding program the "backbone of the whole war program." Pointing out the impossibility bf conducting a war "with the fleet we had at the end of 1941," one official said, "before Pearl Harbor the American people had b strange disregard for their mer(Chant marine." Although the United States b'as a leading maritime nation, jfluring the days of the famous iclipper-ships it . began to turn its mind inland in later years," he others decorated posthumously include three SIU members from New Orleans who were aboard the same vessel as Alther. They were awarded the Mar­ iner's Medal which is said to be equivalent to the Purple Heart for members of the armed forces. Today's recipients are; Saul Howard Herman, first of­ ficer, whose four-year-old daugh­ ter, Sari Earlyn Berman, will re­ ceive the medal. She is the daughter of Mrs. Ethel Berman. Frank James Miller, SIU mem­ ber, a boatswain, whose sister, Mrs. Agnes G r a z a 1 a, 1027 St. Philip St., will receive his medal. Wren Joseph Reagan, SIU member, an able seaman, whose mother, Mrs. F. Reagan, 913 Dub­ lin St., will receive his medal. Henry Peter SmJth, master. whose wife, Mrs. H. P. Smith, 668 First St., Orleans Parkway, will receive his medal. Andrew Asp, SIU member, able seaman, whose wife, Mrs, Tule Asp, 2311 Baronne St., will re­ ceive his medal. Lewis Dewayne Jarvis, first as­ sistant engineer, whose wife, Mrs. Lewis Jarvis, 4422 S. Liberty St., will receive his medal. declared, and "only suddenly have we become aware of the meaning of ships." Viclory Ships Later Admiral V i c k e ry con­ trasted the desperate marine transportation problem which confronted the United States just after Pearl Harbor with the situ­ ation today, when 34,000,000 tons have been added to the nation's GROWTH OF OUR MERCHANT FLEET merchant marine. Admiral Vick­ ery stressed the issues which will arise in peacetime and said "we are endeavoring to make sure that our postwar merchant ma­ rine will be capable of doing its share in the job of making vic­ tory permanent." Praising the shipyards for the record-breaking construction jobs they have turned out, Admiral Vickery said; "I am sure, that as taxpayers, you will be pleased to know that they have kept costs far below those of the last war's program. And they have done this, not­ withstanding that today's ships are larger and better and despite the fact that shipyard wage rates are much higher." Admiral Vickery emphasized the accelerated production o f Victory ships, larger and faster than the old Liberty vessels, as a definite contribution to post­ war maritime progress. "But the best ships in the world," Admiral Vickery said, "are no better than the men who sail them, and we can all be proud of the courageous perform­ ance of our merchant seamen at war. During the height of the U-boat campaign, when the mer­ chant marine was suffering an Building ships around the clock for the WSA cargo fleet: "Ships—more ships" to smash the Axis even higher percentage of casual­ and to create the greatest merchant fleet in history!

But thousands of ships now building will survive this war to carry our cargoes for peace. Liberty Ship Program Ending giu MEMBER DIE^ gROM STAB WOUNDS Additional contracts for awards on construction of Liberty ships are not contemplated, but the fu­ ture program calls for the pro­ duction of standard type vessels. Rear Admiral Howard L. Vickery said last week. The Mai'itime Commission vice chairman said that the produc­ tion program was at present about evenly balanced between Liberty ship production and that of the standard types, with about 75 building ways producing the slow moving emergency vessel. ! -.Just a few hours after the seajgoing tug "Point Judith" arrived back in San Francisco, after a three months' trip, the body of Joseph Reha, 27, oiler, was found bn deck, slashed by five deep stab wounds. He was dead when dis.ipovered.. . i Reha, police said, was one of a .j|roup of crew members that had |[one ashore to "celebrate" imme, ftiately after the vessel docked. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Baymond Bateman, 15 Warren -Jload, Essex, Maryland. Although the Merchant Marina Act of 1936 called for the con­ struction of 500 ships, 50 a year over a ten-year period, the most recent figures available reveal that American shipjards fi'ora 1938, up to and including the first three months of this year, have delivered into service 362 tankers and 366 standai-d C-typ© cargo vessels. The increase in the long rangg: program has been achieved ex­ clusive of the 2,008 Liberty ships which have been construe^ ed over the same period. Principals at launching—Admiral Howard L.

Sail On! to Victory And to the heroes' fames Their memories shall our vows renew. Upon the lone sea lanes. Two members of the SIU Who knew not doubt nor fear. Squires: who died in mountainous seas The lifeboats' crew, to clear. The wild winds sound his requiem. The restless deep's his bier. Alther: who faced the Nazi bombs. The terror from the skies; To save his ship and lives of crew This hero had to die; His face still turned towards the foe. While he on deck did lie. Thus died in line of duty These sailors of the sea Courageous, fighting merchantmen Who keep our Nation free. The selfless Souls of Courage True to Man's Dignity. No speech nor blare of trumpets. Nor praise on printed page. Nor witness of a spoken word But only wild seaS rage. And hell of Nazi fury; This was their lonely stage. These ships shall live, in Seamen's hearts Through the deeds that won their names, ' The floating Shrines of our Golden Age, To their eternal fames! Proudly!
