cept it.
Probably less than a fourth of the
ships that take crews at San Francisco
are listed in the Shipowners' Association.
The others are managed entirely by their
owners or by special agents and have

sailors do. not feel disposed to surrender
the greater source of employment for

union in forcing the outside shipowners
to join the association. That, they as
