'sShipmates Voice. Sells
Thousands of Copies
In West Coast Ports

SAN. PEDRO, Calf. - Several
weeks prior to the departure of the
fleet from Southern California,
there was revealed another express
sion of the dissatisfaction and dis
content among the enlisted men
with the conditions in the navy.
Appearing as an 8-page paper, and
issued by and for sailors and
Marines" "Shipmates Voice was
circulated in thousands of copies in
all the important naval ports on
the western coast. From all indica-
tions, the paper was eagerly read
by all sailors and marines who
could secure copies, and many com
mented openly in favor of the aims
for which the paper was founded.
Throughout the paper appear ar
ticles and letters written by enlisted
men, expressing their grievances,
arising from the Is per cent pay
CUT loss of re-enlistment bonus. re-
duction of allowances, etc. Not re-
manning content to merely expose
these conditions, the paper concrete
ly suggests measures by which the
men can abolish many petty injus-
tices and by a well organized pro-
test and demand from us will make
Washington sit up and take notice,
and force the restoration of our
pay losses" (Shipmate'ss Voice.)
While the high ranking officers
have expressed themselves as conf
dent in the high morale of the men
in the navy, yet they are extremely
worried about this concrete express
sion of discomfort displayed by the
"Shipmate'ss Voice" and are trying
to stop its circulation.

The election for new officers of
the International Jewelry Workers
Union, Local /, A. F. of L. will take
place on Tuesday July "a. The
workers in the union must sum-
Marie the accomplishments Of the
old administration. They have to
reach definite conclusion as to how
and whom to elect as their new
officers in order to establish a strong
and consistent leadership to fight
to maintain whatever there is left
over from past struggles. The work.
erS have to realize that only
through militant rank and file
leadership they can attain better
conditions in the struggles they are
facing in the near future.
Our past experiences prove too
clearly that the old leaderShips
were weak and inconsistent in the
defence of the rights of the jewelry
workers. They did not show any
backbone in maintaining the few
good points of the agreement which
they themselves railroaded and
manoeuvered through at the last
strike. In justifying their inactivity
they admitted later and claimed
that the agreement became" a
straight jacket which did not per-
NIT them to do anything in behalf
of the workers until July, 1885.
They were sitting every effort of
the workers who were Disseminated
against by the bosses, right after
the agreement.
On every occasion they said, I'VE
cannot do this--we cannot do that.
They showed lack of a definite
policy in so far as they depended
on conferences, with bosses without
relying on the strength of the
workers. But the class and union
! conscious workers to whom the
unions was a life question, realized
that no matter how bad the agree
ment was, a. struggle was necessary
to- fight the bosses for the main
tenance of the few good points of
the contract.
An organization committee of 80
active members was elected at the
membership meeting in order to
police the trade and to exert pres
sure on the bosses and on some
workers to maintain union condi-
lions. What were the results? L.
that the dues, payments were in
creased tremendously; 1.-THE at
tendance OF meetings were much
larger; 3-less chiseling in the
trade; Anew members joined the
union In short, the membership
was permeated with new life and a
new spirit was visible But that
did not suit the Royal Highnesses
of the executive board. The activ-
tiles, and good work of the organi-
zation committee actually out
Swallowed the work of the adj
ministration.
That was too much for the
leadership. They attempted, with
out any success. to- undermine tn

committee. They felt irritated be-
fore the membership. Then the at
tack began. The administration be-
came hysterical. 1t was the hysteria
of frantic and treacherous generals
seeing their army advancing in
spite of them. What shall be done?
On the basis of the established
facts they were forced to admit the
good work done by the organization
committee. But they claimed that
the organization committee had
overstepped its jurisdiction by giving
orders to the executive board
The truth of the fact was that no
such orders" were given. The or
ganization committee was merely
making recommendations to the
board which were OF vital impor-
lance to the Union. One of the
recommendation was to abolish
overtime of those who were still
working. At the time when two
thirds of the workers were unem--
ployed the organization committee
thought to draw more workers to
work in order that they should earn.
at least something for their fami-
lies. But our honorary president,
Garcia, had the audacity to refuse
to entertain a motion to that effect.
The spirit of William Carlin and st.
Williams worked in Garcia all the
time. AS result of that the
machine instituted a red scare
charging the organization committee
with being communiStic. Even
though there were only about two.
communists among the thirty-four
members. 1t is very important to
note that the vice president, George
Rosen, who always assumes the
role of an almost communist,
joined the chorus of the, red
baiters by not protesting it, at
a time when even conservative
workers could not tolerate. it any
more. The Forward" came out the
next day rejoicing at the great
victory of the machine over the
organization committee.
The workers realize that the left
wingers were correct in their poll
cies, by attacking the administra-
ton on the merits of concrete facts.
They also see that they are at the
crossroads.
The Rank and File Group has
come out with a united front Slate.
1t proposes to all workers of the
local to whom the welfare of the
union is at heart to elect the follow
ing brothers:

Wave of Messengers Strikes
During the month of April there
were a succession of messengers
strikes throughout the country. On
April the Postal Telegraph mess
engerS in Minneapolis struck for
higher wages and won a 20 per cent
increase. IN Detroit, the Western
Union messengers struck on April
10 and gained a proportionate in
crease and union recognition. On
April IA messengers of both the
Postal Telegraph and the Western
Union in Cleveland struck and won
wage increases and other conceS-
SionS.
Strike Preparation
Inspired by the example of these
successful struggles the New York
messengers began to think of strike
preparation. On April 80 at a mem
bership meeting of the union the
boys voted to prepare for strike.
Representatives of so offices met at
a. conference on April "a at the
union headquarters to formulate
plans. The next day the telegraph
companies started their own asSoci-
ationS of messengers. They ar
ranged swimming meets, hikes, and
baseball games for the messengers,
hoping that this would make the
boys forget their miserable condi-
tionS, and soften their awakening
