captain declared it was unnecessary
fer men loading lifeboats to wear
preservers, saying they could work
faster without them. The men of
the crew were not allowed to save
their clothes and other effects.
Members of the crew charge that
the lifeboat containing the ships
papers was deliberately wrecked by
the officers to destroy evidence.
The crew and officers were all
picked up by the steamer Montauk,
and the men, mostly Canadians,
were assisted with food and cloth
ing by her Chinese crew.
The action of the Chinese work
crs was in marked contrast to that
of the Dutch harbor commissioner,
who refused them needed clothes
and blankets, saying that Uncle
Sam is very poor"
Forced to Work.
The men were brought to Seattle
on hoard the U. S. revenue cutter
Chelan. The officers demanded that
the "shipwrecked" men work their
passage, saying they should be will
ing to do this as good Americans"
When the men refused, they were
treated like swine, were fed or swill,
and were, despite their refusal.
forced to wait tables and wash
dishes. They were given no soap
CT towels, and no fresh water dur
ing the whole nine days on board.
All this time, one of the crew Of
the Alloway, who was sick, was left
in a hammock swinging on a
draughty deck.
But the officers of the Alloway
were treated royalty, given rooms
and showed no concern for the crew.
Cheated of Wages.
The Alloway crew shipped with
the understanding that they were to
receive pay in Yokohama and get
their passage back, but all were
cheated out of one days pay, and
an attempt was made to cheat many
of them out Of from $40 to S95.
The men declare that one men,
Der Of the crew, whose story was
played up by the capitalist press,
has been bought by the owners to
hetray the crew and support the
story of the officers.
The entire crew, with the excep-
/ ton of this renegade, came up to
The headquarters of the Workers
| (Communist) Party to report on
this incident, under the leadership
of member of the Marine Workers
League.
The men are bitter in their de-
runciations of the swindle and dan
ger they have suffered, and say that
when American imperialism calls on
them to dodge submarines i'll the
next world war, they will take up
guns only against capitalists.
