Chicago Seamen
Fight Discrimination

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Sea-
mems Relief Commission carried
through its first action here yester-
day following a meeting of Great
Lakes seamen Tuesday night, at
which McCuistion, Lake organizer
Of the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, spoke.
A delegation of seamen cornered
the Federal Relief Association Off
Gals, Sands and House. They
pointed to the discrimination
against unemployed seamen in the
handing out Of relief, whereby sea-
men are forced to get letter from
the shipping commissioner. They
demanded the abolition of this
practice.
The seamen have set up sepa-
rate advisory committee and forced
the relief officials to go with the
committee to survey relief project
and give them a promise Of three
meals day for the unemployed
seamen.
A meeting has been called by the
seamen's rank and file committee in
South Chicago on Friday night to
register all unemployed seamen'

recent period. Such strike strug-
gle as that of the steel workers
will electrify the whole labor
movement and open up a new
page in the struggles of the work
ers against wage cutting, low

1--WE feel fully justified to make
an appeal not only to the steel
and metal workers whose strug-
giles we have led throughout the
existence of our union, but also
to all workers and workers or
ganizations to rally to the sup
port of our union and help us
carry through a complete mobih-
cation of the steel workers for
action.
Our National Executive Board,
at its sessions in Pittsburgh, May
10, perfected plans for the de-
velopment of a gigantic organiza-
ton drive to build the Union, set
up Action Committees in the key
mills and plants, build united
front with the rank and file of
the A. F. Of L. steel union all
in preparation for waging and
carrying through successful

nine. They we're dropped into
nameIess graves in a desolate spot.
The inscription over them says they
were hanged for mutiny against
the o. S. Government.
"A federal military board was
appointed to investigate, but it was
a hush-up board. To my knowledge,
no report ever was made public,
nor have I ever seen anything about
it printed, beyond the distorted
newspaper reports at the time"
Mflitancy Based on Experience
Out Of the memories Of such ex-
perences, the seamen's militancy
springs. Out of such memories,
their revolutionary working class
viewpoint is built. For every fat
assertion made as fellow worker
Daniels drawled in strong Dixie &C
cent: "You know, fellows. 10000
seamen were lost in the World War
for somebody else's dollars - we
won't let it happen againl" the
rank and file remember a dozen
personal encounters with class enc
mics. Out of this militant rank
and file they chose most Of their
leaders. Reed himself faithfully
served on their leading subcomnit-
tee for weeks.
Their dependence upon untried
inexperienced men weakened their
leadership at some points, however.
1t resulted in endowing certain in
dividusls with a prestige which, in
at least one case, hampered their
battle. 1t fostered individualism
and careerisn so that at least this
one was utilizing the gains made
by the movement to further per-
sonal ends - to strengthen his
standing before government Off
Gals at the expense Of the seamen's
program. Two Of these new leaders
actually left the waterfront to take
rest on the farm Of friend,
nearby, at a time when the struggle
was critical.
The seamen, however, were strong
enough; they kept control in the
hands Of the men sufficiently we'll
to shake off weak elements and
go forward. They demonstrated
again how proletarian struggle de-
velops its own heroic proletarian
leadership.

NEW YOR K-The Northwest
Union Meeting Association, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, meeting in Tacoma, Wash,
has unanimously passed resolu-
ton against the imposition of COM
pulsory arbitration on the railroad
workers. The resolution disapproves
of Senate Bill S. 1855, which would
do away with the railroad workers
right to strike and force arbitration
on them, The resolution also con-
dennis such bills as the Wagner

other legislation by Congress of the
U. S. A. to limit or restrict the
rights of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers or any other group
of organized labor, to the use of

settlement Of wage disputes and
working conditions"
The Union Meeting Association
meets in each region of the country
with members of the B. of L. E.

about a week later, however,
rumors began to be spread through
out all parts Of Texas, in which
Negro troopers were stationed, to
the effect that white women were
being molested by these Negro SOL
diers. Sentiment was being built
up against the Negroes in Browns
vile, San Antonio, and other cities.
One night about twelve O'Clock, we
heard rumor that two white wo-
men had been attacked and raped
by two Negro soldiers.

Relief Cuts Newest.
LaCuardia Schemes.

ETC., are never met. Seventy per
cent of the rents of the unemployed
are never paid, thus perpetusting
an eviction policy. Moving expenses
are never paid. The rent checks are
so small that, together with the re-
luctance of landlords 10 accept
them, super-slum areas are rapidly
being set up in vernin-infected fire
traps.
For the single unemployed who
are being eliminated from the relief
rolls, there are only the lighthouses,
with all the attendant forced labor.
On May l, 200 single unemployed
were taken from the Municipal
Lodging House and bundled off to
the Orange County prison farm.
AS the city's relief rapidly APP
proaches a crisis, LaGuardia, in the
manner of his usual grandstand
play, made flying trip to Wash
ington. AS a result, $37,000,000 Of
P. w. A. funds will be allocated to
New York City for construction,
This, it is claimed, will to a great
extent meet the relief crisis. Yet,
in the meantime contracts must be
awarded, and even then, it is ad-
mitted, this will only provide for
the employment Of 5000 men for
periods ranging from four months
and upward The bulk of the P. w.
A. funds, after the plumber of graft,
| inefficiency and useless expendi-
ture, will go for materials. AS for
the rest of the total Of 1892, 900, 900
which New York asked of P. w. A.,
Secretary Ickes said: New York
must take its place with the other
applicants until we can see how
much money Congress will allow"
Obviously, P. w. A. can not solve
the relief problem in New York.
Scrap Bankers Agreement!
Central in the demands of the
unemployed must be the scrap
ping of the bankers agreement by
which a group Of Wall Street
bankers, notably the Rockefeller
and Morgan banks, hold a re-
ownership over the city's income,
and under which the city has
mortgaged the lives of the UBr
employed. In no case will the
unemployed permit the forced
labor schemes to go through. Jobs
at union rates of pay or cash re-
lief equal to C. w. A. wages must
be the central demand, endorse

ment Insurance Bill (H.R. 1898,
