The Conference Of Skip Delegates
and Ship Visitors held by the Marine
Workers Industrial Union in New
York on May % was of outstanding
importance.
The Ship delegate is the best or
ganizer and main builder Of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union
Ships remain in port only few days
This means that the union cannot
be in the union hall but must travel
and function wherever the ship goes
Port organizers and full time off,
cials of the Union have the oppor-
tunity to speak to members of the
crew for only half an hour or an
hour at the most Even this means
of establishing contact is becoming
increasingly difficult.
In this basic industry, so import
n ant in the imperialist war plans, the
government and shipowners are TAX
ing every possible precaution, through
Especial watchmen and other mea-
sures, to hinder the activities of the
revolutionary movement. The Union
can maintain permanent contact with
the ships only through Ship Dele
gates, who as members of the crew
are able to react to all their grievan-
ces and issues when they arise, ut
ilizing these issues for the purpose
of creating organization and develop
ing struggle, building ship commit
tees and recruiting new members in
TO the Union.
Also the activities of the ship Wis
itors, who visit ships while in port
and aid the work of the delegates
and lay basis for their activities,
are not to be underestimated. The
tremendous amount of this work to
be done in the industry makes it i'm
possible to merely rely. upon the
work Of few full time function
aries. The utmost attention must be
paid toward developing the initiative
Of the rank and file members and
involving them m the daily work Of
! The union.
"smell the Ships Coming
Il The Conference was attended by
delegates from Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York. Out Of SO de-
Iegates, only were from the Ma
,ional Buro, functionaries from the
various ports, and the remaining 38,
most Of whom spoke, participate in
he daily activities Of the Union as
Ship Delegates or Ship Visitors.
These delegates, with their close
contact with the industry, gave
rood picture Of the conditions on the
hips which we're APPLY summarized
~ one reporter when he said, ION
he Bull and Munson Line condi-
ions are so bad that you smell the
hips coming into port" In regards
the sentiment of the men he also
tated that the "crews agree that
he union is all right but getting
hem to do something is = different

MILLINERY UNION
HEAD IN FRAUD
Zaritsky Reports Fake
Wage Increase

NEW YORK.-zaritsky, president
Of the A. r. Of L. milliners' union,
stated in the capitalist press last
week that the union had gained a
Is per cent increase in wages for all
union shops and had even caused
non-union shops to raise rates.
This is case of bare-faced lying
by a so-called labor official in sup
port Of the Roosevelt campaign to
produce prosperity on paper. The
Daily Worker has definite proof of
wage cuts in millinery shops in the
last week, shops controlled by Zarit-
skYs union.

10 Months Pay for II
MonthsWOrk for Pilots

BY a Marine Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK CITY. The Pilots
were lucky last year they got 10
months pay for IL months work, pi-
loting ships into and out of New York
harbor for the shipowners who got fat
mail contracts from the generous gov
eminent.
And then the manager Of the Black
Diamond line told them to use their
influence ito see that the government
don't cuts out the mail contracts, for
If they do, you fellows won't get paid
for your plotting"
The Munson line is the worst COM
pany out of New York to get paid
from. They pay you when you catch
them.
