2 KILLED AT SEA
ON SPEED UP JOB

NEW YORK-An oiler and a fire.
men were scalded to death on the
8. S. Munlisto, OF the Munson lines,
on Dec. %. The oiler had his clothes
and shoes blown off his body. He
died instantly. The fireman lived
until the next afternoon.
1t happened when they were forced
to go into shut down boiler to make
some repairs. Speedy work was
necessary, because the crew has been
cut down so small, and the amount
OF work is SO great. The Munson
lines follows the principle that the
smaller the crew and the smaller the
wages-the bigger the profits.
Gases exploded in the boiler, after
the men had been hustled inside.
Their bodies were taken off by a
coast guard cutter from Wilmington
No publicity was given to the tragedy.
When the Munlisto reached New
York, the company refused to pay off
the crew. The men were offered
Is per cent of their wages. The COM
pany says it will pay the remaining
rs per cent when suitable; and is
upheld in this robbery by the Ship
ping commissioners.
The crew on the Munlisto Is ready
to organize to put an end to the
mad house conditions aboard.

Waterfront Council
Hits Stagger Relief
Gag of Height Group

NEW YORK.--Jane Street Mis-
sion, a part Of the Seamen's YNdCA,
used to house seamen under tire
charity of the Haight Committee, is
starting plan to stagger the sea-
men on relief. The Haight commit
tee Is disseminating its drive for
funds, and each seaman in the Jane
Street mission will be staggered to
conserve the funds the committee
has at the expense Of the hungry
seamen.
The local branch of the Waterfront
Unemployed Council is putting UP a
fight against this variation cf the
"stagger plan" 1t is demanding an
open accounting Of the finances OF
the charity racket, and organizing the
LEGAL unemployed to fight against the
effort to cut meL off the list.
One obvious aim of the plan is to
rid Captain Page, director of the
Jane Street Mission, Of the group of
organized unemployed in the mission.
The Haight committee Is composed
OF men prominent In shipping cir
cles. It's activities are to weaken the
demand for unemployment insurance
and relief Of the seamen at the ship
owners expense. The "stagger plan
has already been applied at the Sea-
mems Church Institute, and is rous-
ing great dissatisfaction there.
