Try to Keep MWIU.
Out Of Federation
By MwIU Reporter

SEATTLE, Jan. 17-Rank and
file sentiment for a Pacific Coast
rank and file federation consist
ling of all unions in and directly
,, connected with the marine in
dustry) has grown 50 strong that
the AFL misleaders heading ma
rine unions have been forced to
not only go on record for it, but
to organize a federation.
The misleaders began their
sabotage by attempting to split
the seamen. longshoremen and
teamsters by proposing the use
of constitution drawn up by
the International Longshoremen's
Association district secretary,
Paddy Morris, which contains a
clause barring dual unions,
meaning the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union.
Further, a motion was made
by Morton, lila president, Seat
tie local, to bar all delegates
mot officially elected" To bar
them from participating in the
arrangementes and organization
of the federation
This is aimed at the teamsters,
for everyone knows that Beck,
Brewster, O'Reilly and Co., will
not permit a rank and file repre-
sentative of the teamsters to
participate. This was proved by
two recent acts.
lila delegates have been re-
fused the floor at the Transfers
Union meetings. This motion was
made after rank and file team
ster had spoken against this
clause of dual unionism and for
a federation of all unions in, and
connected with, the industry.
An International Seamen's I'm
ion official and camp follower
ISU delegate Buckmaster expos
ed the whole game at Mondays
ISU meeting when he said it was
to be a Puget Sound Fedora
tion." He added as an after
thought until a coast fedora
ton Is set up"
Not content with trying to
split the northwest from the
south he added an amendment
OF the proposed constitution,
That no decisions made by the
federation be binding on any I'M
IONS" o.
We can see it's neither Pacific
Coast, nor rank and file, nor a
real federation.
Buckmaster said there is
group of longshoremen, seamen
and teamsters from the LILA, ISU
and MWIU and Transfers, in
Guiding some Central Labor COun-
ell delegates, who are organizing
rank and file federation.
We Sos W bOob IAo iouh
and file in the formation of q
Marine Federation. They are
all Communist rats" were Buck
masters exact words.
The maneuvers of these lila
and ISU labor misleaders are
obvious attempts to smash the
federation and split the seamen.
The MWIU calls on all maritime
workers to reject them, and
fight for Pacific Coast rank and
file marine federation, consist
ing of rank and file delegates of
all unions in, and connected with,
the industry.
And to endorse the proposed
merger of the MWIU with the
ISU, for one seamen's union, as
step in that direction.

BY Joel Strand

Dearinger, 81, inexperienced in
the art of robbery, attempted
to hold up a grocery store in
Ballard. But the grocer was wait
ing for them, and shot and killed
young Dearinger.
The capitalist press, in its anti
crime" crusade, utilized this in
cident with columns of sob stor-
les of the disgrace and fond hopes
and dreams of proud parents
shattered; and winds up this
sickening, hypoeritical and sem
timental slush with the slogan,
Crime Doesn't Pay"
True Story
What Is the true story of this
case, which the capitalist press
so ingeniOusly neglects to print?
1t is the story that is back OF
most of the hOld-ups and rob-
berries now sweeping the coun-
try: Unemployment, poverty and
starvation.
These boys and their fathers
were unemployed, drawing the
miserable pittance of a dole
handed out by the Roosevelt
government. The writer inter-
viewed the parents of both boys,
and also the disinterested per-
sons who knew the families.
What are the facts? Orville
Boothby, 10 years old, now facing
a term in the penitentiary or
reformatory, is the oldest of
five children. The struggle of
this family in trying to exc out
miserable existence on the
munificent sum of $40 food
voucher per week for seven
people, is the typical heart-rend-
ing story of illions.
No job, no money. The fam
lily having been on relief for four
Years, Orville had fruitlessly
tried to get a job until he was
driven OF desperation.
$7.20 for Six People
The Dearinger family, also
on relief for several years, get
a food voucher of 1920 per week
for six people. Like Orville
Boothby, Walter had desperately
sought a job. AS a last resort he
tried to enlist in the Marines,
walking several miles to Fort
Lawton, although he had a pain
in the side, not knowing then
that he had a rupture.
After a preliminary examina-
tion he was sent to Tacoma for
his final examination, without
provision made for his trans
portation. Happily thinking that
he at last had job with regular
pay days, he borrowed so cents
for boat fare, only to be told
by the doctor that he had a rup-
ture and could not pass.
Stranded in Tacoma, without
money, hungry and unable to
walk due to the increasing pain
in his side, he pawned his hat in
order to get a few cents for
meals.
Monday, January Z, he went
to the Harborview hospital for
an appointment with the doctor.
He was told that an operation
was necessary, but that there
was no room in the hospital then.
Prescribed Truss
The doctor prescribed a tenn
pOrary truss, which he must
have Immediately, as his condi-
tion was dangerous. But first
he must have a requisition
from the local relief station. At
the voucher station, disregard
ing his dangerous condition, he
was told that nothing could be
done for him until the following
Tuesday.
On Friday night he attempted
to solve his own problem.
He doesn't need any truss now.
Who is guilty? The capitalist
press, mounting the puritanical
phrase, Crime Doesn't Pay"
while they uphold in holy rever-
ence the robbery, murder and
starvation of millions of work
ers, deliberately hide the cause
of univ Oriulla Rnnthhu and

an intensive organizational cam
paign was mapped out for the
coming months. The campaign
for recruitent of new members
into the union, the strengthening
of esta blished locals and the es-
tablishent of new locals, special
concentration upon the trollers,
and on the Columbia River Sec
tion, the holding of price and
wage conferences for the herring
fishermen before they go to
Alaska, price conferences for the
purse-seiners, gill-netters, etc.
To Build Voice"
Other campaign plans include
the building of the Voice of Ac-
tion as our official organ; con-
domination of Initiative n and In
itiative 5 as vicious class legisla-
tiOn being backed by the fish
packers in order to do away with
gill-net and troll fishing and
bring back the traps; and a
thorough campaign to expose
these measures and the men be-
hind them; also a campaign of
struggle against them.
A recommendation was made
by the conference to hold the
coming national convention eth
er the middle or end of March at
Astoria, Oregon, on the Col.
umbia river.
The Importance of a struggle
for relief OF Fishermen was
strongly stressed, as fishermen in
many places are finding it impos-
sible to earn enough by fishing
to live through the winter
months.
The conference went on record
to support the Unemployment
and Social Insurance Congress at
Olympia, at the Knights of Py-
thias hall, January 27-2S, and to
stress the Importance of fisher
men electing delegates to the
congress.
lid Pledges Aid
The conference was also adj
dressed by Wesley Randall Of
the international Labor Defense,
who brought out the work of
the organization in defending the
workers who are arrested for
militant activity in behalf Of
the working class.
He pointed out that with the
rising tide of struggle of the
fishermen for better conditions
due to the attacks of the fish
packers upon their living stand
ards, a strong defense organiza-
tion would be necessary.
The LID has defended arrested
and prosecuted fishermen, and
pledges itself to carry on this
fight. Randall brought out the
necessity of fishermen joining
the LID, and supporting it as
the defense organization of milit-
ant workers.

SPOKANE
ANr1sovIEr SPEAKER

SPOKANE, Jan. l7-Wm. Hen
~ Chamberlin, notorious SANDER
er OF the Soviet Union, spoke
here last Tuesday night in the
Civic auditorium, with the full
sanction of the Chamber OF
Commerce, the American Legion,
the same crowd that forced the
school board to turn down the
hall for the Scott eNaring lee
ture. The question in many peo-
pies mind is just why the dis
elimination?
Well, while Chamberlin was In
the Soviet Union, reporting for
the Christian Science Monitor, he
was fair. Wehn he left the Mon
itor, he found that it was more
profitable to be an enemy OF
the Soviet Union than a friend.
Hence, his antagonism toward
the USSR, and the Chamber OF
Commerce hearty reception Of
hi.
AFRAID OF JoBLEss COUNCIL
SPOKANE, Jan. 17-It seems
that when anyone that has been
refused relief In Spokane all
he needs to do is mention the
Unemployed Council committee
will be up with him, the super
visor hastily remarks, What you
ask for will be granted" as I'VE
don't want to have anything to
do with those birds"
Lately a woman was refused
aid in the form OF a coat, be-
cause her husband had refused
to work at starvation wages, and
as soon as she limited that she
would see the Unemployed
Council, the coat was forthcom-
ing at once.

Annual Tennis Tourney

If the enthusiasm of those Specta-
tors, watching the tennis matches this
week can be taken as criterion, then
this weeks tennis tournament will be
the most successful ever held here.
There are quite a number of crack
players from the east here to compete
and when the finals are played off on
Friday and Saturday there will be
some very fine tennis.
Personally, we think this splendid
event, each year, sponsored by the
Civic Club, should be supported to the
limit. 1t means too much to the Park
community to let it get away from
US, which it certainly will do unless
it is we'll patronized.
