JOBLESS JAILED PICKETlNG

Portland, Ore.-The first day of
the Longshoremen's strike in Port
Ia nd passed with everything o. K.
and all the ships tied up 100 per
cent. Several ships crews also
walked off in support of the strik-
ers.
One of the significant features of
this strike situation in Portland is
the fact that while the strikers are
picketing the waterfront the I'm
employed are picketing the employ
ment offices. There is complete
solidarity.
The Single Workers Local is
picketing the Single Men and Wo-
men registration bureau, with ban

Five pickets were arrested for

TACOMA SEAMEN RALLY TO
SUPPORT OF STRIKING

striking members of the lila to pa
| troll the docks where vessels were
tied up, and any docks that ships
were due at during the day, to see
that no strike breakers could work

When the pickets reached the
docks they were met by a delega-
ton of seamen organized in the
MWIU who pledged their solidarity
and support of any action under
taken by the members of the lila.
Only three Japanese ships were in
the harbor at o'clock in the morn
ing and on going to these the pick
cts were met by several Japanese
seamen, who, upon being asked by
the workers what action would be
taken if asked to work cargo, re-
piled I'VE no touch. Strike here
same as in Japan. Japanese seamen
no touch" This was the sentiment
of all three ships.
Leaving the longshoremen the
seamen went to an American ship
that had come in while they were
asking and getting the solidarity of
the japanese seamen. This vessel,
will Zipo," was already picketed
by the longshoremen when the sea-
men arrived. As the crew was still
tying her up one of the seamen
made an appeal to the seamen
aboard not to load or unload cargo
or to supply steam to scabs. The
second mate who was on the poop
deck tried to bemuddle the seamen
on the ship by stating that there
was no strike on, that a clerk had
just come on board and said the
strike was off. Upon being correct
cd by the seamen the men aboard
continued to do ships work but be-
ing approached by the MWIU secre-
tary when they came ashore at
night, stated emphatically that they
would not load cargo and would
not sail with scab cargo aboard.
Today only one other ship arrived
in Port and was promptly picketed
All docks are idle with seamen,
foreign and American, pledging SOL
idarity with the striking longshore-
men.
