It is a brazen pimp, indeed, who advertises his trade in the public press. Their way is to pluck at your sleeves from the shadows, plying their sorry profession with a minimum of publicity. But no such scruples, it seems, inhibit the ptofessional labor finks who flaunt their scabbing activities shamelessly. In an adjoining column, we reproduce an advertise­ ment that appeared in Rob Wagner's Script, the voice of producers around Hollywood, offering to the employers of that area the services of "highly-disciplined" veterans to *'protect" their plants, and their "most unique specialty, the ex-Marine Guards Intelligence Divisions" for confiden­ tial investigations. We don't know personally who is the "chief of staff," the "adjutant and inspector" or the other men in this setup. &ut we do think the military setup, replete with titles and discipline, the wording of,, the advertisement, are all too transparent veils not at all masking the old fashioned strike breaking outfit such as flourished a few years ago. We think that the ad, had it been written with more candor, could have read: "Do you want a goon squad to keep union organizers out of your plant? Do you want to hire labor spies to infiltrate the trade unions, disrupt them and put the finger on the leaders? We have on hand a se­ lect group of highly disciplined veterans, who have been successfully inoculated with an anti-union prapa^nda." It is inevitable, when profits are more important to some producers than any human rights, that an unscrupul­ ous operator should take advantage of the situation to sell the services of professional goons. But more is involved than a few immoral characters looking for an easy thirty pieces of silver. This advertise­ ment poses two problems that the American labor move­ ment will have to face in the near future. First is the spectacle of some employers already prepar­ ing for that postwar period. Even while beguiling the la-i bor unions with honeyed words of cooperation, some oper­ ators are already hiring armed guards and "intelligence" men. Second, is the use of veterans of the armed forces as an anti-labor force. As the Seafarers Log has pointed out on more than one occasion, the great danger facing Ameri­ can trade unions is the employment of the jobless veteran as a strike-breaking, anti-labor unit. Fascist spellbinders ivill attempt to rally unemployed, maltreated veterans iaround a standard of dumping the civiliam off the gravy train. This is what happened after the last war. Unless the 'unions bestir themselves and make a conscious, determined effort to bring the veteran where he rightly belongs, into labor's camp, it will happen after this war.

Truman seems to be economic-minded regarding the spend­ ing of federal dough on overlapping bureaus. The Seafarers has a candidate for this cutting down process. We offer the RMO Division of the WSA. These people pay out plenty of good dough to men to stand by in the various ports. This was getting to be such a big joke in the maritime industry that even the WSA got the jitters and made some mild attempts to change things. Nevertheless, this dough being spent is still going out. In addition to this, a comparison of the WSA's operating ex­ pense for each man shipped with any maritime union in the field, will show that there is expense padding some place. These people are charging the Government thousands of bucks for the handling of very few men. 4 President Truman Installs New Regime In Labor Dept. There is finally going to be a change in the Labor Department. Next month Madam Perkins will step down as Secretary of Labor, and her place will be taken by Lewis B. Schwellenbach, a Fed­ eral Judge and former Senator from Washington. During his term as Senator, Schwellenbach had what was known as a "liberal" record. He was an orthodox New Dealer and supported such legislation as the Social Security Act, Wagner Act, Lewis B. Schwellenbach, 50- Wage-Hour Act, and other sim­ ^ear-old former Senator from ilar bills.

(LPA) bach, AFL President William Messmen Seen Important Cog In Ship Operation Last week the New York Dis­ patcher received a letter from the Smith & Johnson Port Steward, which made a good point. Frank P. Hoover pointed out the vital role played aboard ship by the "lowly messman." If ever there was a bunch of fakers- drawing good government dough for Joing absolutely nothing, then it is certainly these people. Every man on the ship has im­ To make room within their organization for the various commie portant work to do, and none stooges whom they seem to prefer to anyone else, they certainly should be looked down upon by other members of the crew.

Their shipping system and handling of men is obsolete, but then what can you expect from a "bureau?" They figure, and this is<the angle taken by all bureaucrats, that the more awkward these things are handled, then the more jobs there will be for some of their bureaucratic pimpsi OLDTIMERS RETURN TO GULF From all reports heard up this way, the Gulf area is beginning to pick up now. A couple of old timers shipping out of the Gulf— Bill Frederick, and- Danny Byrnes—paid off here recently and .stopped by the hall for a while before they grabbed a rattler heading for New Orleans. These, fellows told us that the Gulf is returning to the old style now as in the pre-war days. • It is good that some of these old timers do drift back into the Gulf as we know that during the war, shipping fell off in that area considerably and as a result many of the old timers from down that way started to ship from both east and west coasts. Now that ship­ ping is retu^rning to all Gulf ports, it looks as though it might be quite a boom there. Our old timers should go back into that area and help to educate the green membership down there and work with the officials in seeing that the expansion of the Seafarers is handled properly. In the very near future, the Ports of New Orleans and Mobile will' probably have the ships traffic in those, ports increased by at least 100%. This is due partly because of a return to those ports of some of the operators using them as key ports in their peacetime set-up as well as the fact that quite a bit of the overflow from thej west coast will be handled there. , Page Three "You yourself, as a seaman, know that no matter how good a crew you have, if your Stewards Department does not function correctly it upsets the whole mo­ rale of the rest of the ship." Well said, well said. All hail the messman! And we, on our side, would like to point out that Mr. Hoover is one Port Steward with whom it is really a pleasure to deal. The SIU has always found him gen­ tlemanly and courteous in hand­ ling the various disputes that arise between the company 'and the union. Green's statement declared; "We regard Judge Schwellen­ bach as a most capable and wellqualified man to serve. He show­ ed that he possessed a very clear understanding of labor and la­ bor's problems when he served in the United States Senate. His record there was excellent from a labor point of view. We look forward to his service as Secre­ tary of Labor with a feeling o£ confidence and satisfaction and will gladly cooperate with him as fully and completely as possible. "In addition to that, we are go­ ing to urge that he take steps to consolidate within the Labor De­ partment all the agencies of Gov­ ernment that deal with labor problems and labor questions and in that way to expand the ser­ vice of the Labor Department. "We hope that he may set up an advisory committee so that we may serve with him and cooper­ ate with him in his work as Sec­ retary of Labor." New York Shipping Sets AU Time Record Nearly 20 per cent of the 77,000,000 tons of supplies shipped to the battle fronts from all Am­ erican ports last year went through New York harbor, set­ ting a record. The tremendous accomplish­ ment of the merchant seamen in maintaining the supply line un­ der the greatest of difficulties has brought acclaim from military and governmental leaders, as a vital contribution to the victory. BOSTON AGENT IN NEW YORK Censorship Ends {Contimied. from Page 1) is no objection to publication or broadcasting of the identity and arrivals of transports from Europe in Atlantic or Gulf Coast ports after they have reached quaran­ tine. Vessels arriving or departing at East Coast ports with military cargo, particularly if consigned to the Far Eastern combat zone, will continue to be treated as during the earlier years of the war, even although they happen to touch en route at ports within the "free" zone. Johnny Mogan, Boston Agent and Vice President of the Inter­ national. stopped off in New York last week on his way through to the Great Lakes on union business.

Even though Seafarers' jobs are the best paying in the industry, even though Seafarers' working rules have always been pace setters on the waterfront, the SlU does not confine itself to winning shipboard conditions. Seafarers' halls are organized to give the meii off the ships the maximum comfort and relaxation. Part of this is the mainten­ ance in every port of efficiently operated baggage rooms. All Isthmian Men ore invited to use the Seafarers' free baggage checking service. A pack­ age or a brace of sea bags will be checked for a day or a month. Your gear is safe and fhere is no charge. All Seafarers' halls are conveniently located near transportation and port facilities. The SlU Brother in this picture just paid off a transAtlantic ship and is checking his gear with the baggage master in the New York hall. He will prob­ ably leave it checked until he ships out again.
