I am bound to say that I do
not think that a genuine united
front in North Carolina or Geor-
gia or elsewhere has been served
by the Communist policy of open
attacks on the U T. w. when
the strike was at its height and
1 should not advise the North
Carolina comrades to sacrifice
their largest influence and use
fulness by the kind of united
front you seem to want.
You will understand that I
fully appreciate how much is
wrong in the Southern situation
and am much imposed to the
action of the Charlotte author
tiles in denying you the right to
speak. I am, however, of the
opinion that your Party policy in.
the labor field is hurtful rather
than helpful to the policy that
we want to achieve

Union Delegations to Attend c. p Convention and Rail
NJ II. I. u. Insists on Voice
In Marine Demands ParLey

/ Oct 8. We are determined that
our demands shall be granted. Fail
ure of the shipowners to meet with
our elected representatives and
grant our demands before the strike
date can and will result in strike
action on that date.
From the daily press, we learn
that the Shipping Section of the
N. R. A. is considering meetings of
the shipoWners and representatives
of the workers, further to discuss a
code for the marine industry. We
also note that various MIRA. agen-
cies are discussing the pending sea-
mems strike with some labor repre-
centatives and that these agencies
are considering arranging confer
ences between the shipowners and
workers.
I'VE wish TO serve notice that
such negotiations, conferences or
meetings will settle nothing unless
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, which has in its ranks thou
sands Of marine workers and whose
influence entends far beyond its
organization, is represented at all
such meetings. In the name of its
own membership, the thousands
who have Endorsed its strike call,
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union demands the right to be rep
resented a all or any meetings
where the demands of the seamen
are being discussed.

NEW YORK-A delegation of
seamen and longshoremen, headed
by Roy Hudson, national secretary
Of the NJ. w. I. u, will present to-
day the following statement,
adopted by the mass meeting at
Manhattan Lyceum on Wednesday,
to the n. R. A. Administration in
Washington:
Statement of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union to the National
Recovery Administration,
Shipping Division;
Sept. &c, 1884.
For over a year the N. R. A.
has failed to bring forward a code
for the marine workers. This in
spite of many promises and three
code hearings where representatives
Of the seamen and longshoremen
submitted demands which have
been ignored. Conditions and wages
have not been improved, and dis
asters such as the Moro Castle
to occur because of under
manning.
THE seamen are now determined
hat only through using the strike
can they force the shipowners to
grant the demands which they put
forward. The International Sea-
mems Union was compelled by the
pressure of the rank and file sea-
men to call strike for Oct. 8, 1884.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union has simultaneously issued a
strike call to all its thousands of
members and to all seamen and
to strike on or before
