This is a direct result Of the class

inception of the strike, these so
called leaders tried to put a wet
blanket over the militant spirit of
the strikers. They raised the red

and the NRA board against them.

After the NRA board ruled against

and after the state police began
their first acts of terror against the
miners, breaking up the picket lines

entirely in face of the terror, and

ACTION
BY MWIU Correspondent

Seattle. Wn., May 4-The crew
OF the ). ;. Workman, organized as
a ships committee under the lead
ership of the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union, yesterday won the
following demands: Eight hour day
for all day work, pay for overtime,
immediate betterment Of food lin
en- to be changed every week, soap,
towels, buckets for all the crew,
coffee time for crew, recognition of
ships committee.
On the presentation of these de-
mands by the committee the cap
tain refused at first to grant them.
However, after seeing a committee
of unemployed seamen from the
port pledge solidarity with the crew
aboard and after hearing the long
shoremen pledge solidarity with the
seamen if they went on strike the
captain changed his mind and
granted all demands.
Many longshoremen were heard
to remark, THAT is the way Wen
have to win our demands-by rank
and file action" Captain Cole of the
Seattle police cleared the ship, and
looking up the gangplank, remark
ed, You fellows are getting real
active, amt you?"
Points Way to Longshoremen
This is one of the many actions
now taking place throughout the
country lead by the Marine Work
erS Industrial Union in order to

ment. This agreement calls for
compulsory arbitration and the
home local of the district leader
ship of the lila, Paddy Morris and
Bjorkluni has just recently voted
against acceptance Of this gentle

on the lOngshoremen to organize
rank and file committees within the
union in order to win the original
longshoremen's demands, S1.O0 an
