time Federation of the Pacific Coast,
at a regular meeting, on January 5,
1887.
WHEREAS: The provisions of the
Copeland Ship Subsidy Law III. r.
$500 give too much power to the
U. S. Maritime Commission, mas
much as that Commission is author
zied to set wages, hours of work, and
manning scales for all shipboard
crafts employed on subsidized yes
sells, without regard to collective bar
gaining or recognition of agreements
between unions and employees, and
WHEREAS, The Copeland Safety
at Sea Act (H. R. $500 provides for
the issuance of continuous discharge
books" (fink books and Certificates
of service or efficiency ("dog col
lars''), which certificates American
seamen consider detrimental to their
best interests and constitutional
rights as organized American work
ers, and
WHEREAS: Nowhere in these
laws is provision made or the right
of collective bargaining, for the rec
ognition of legal contracts or agree
ments between unions and employ

have elected to organize, and
WHEREAS: The Legislative Com
mittee of the American Federation
of Labor sanctioned and supported
these laws at the last session of Con-

draw its support from the Ship Sub
sidy Act III. R. $500 and the Safety
at Sea Act Oh. R. 8597), and be it
further
RESOLVED: That we urgently re-
quest the Legislative Committee Of
the American Federation of Labor to
make every effort to have these laws
amended SO as to recommend the
following guarantees to organized
labor:
|. Amendment of the Ship Sub

~anteeing collective bargaining, rec-
ognition of agreements between I'M
ions and employers, and the recogni-
ton of such legitimate trade unions
as maritime workers may elect to
organize.
2. Amendment to restrict the bu-
reaucratic and dictatorial powers of
the U. S. Maritime Commission and
the inclusion of a provision whereby
the decisions of this Commission may

LORENZO
CASE STAYED

TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 28.-Action in
the Ease of Lorenzo Puentes, Tampa
trade-unionist facing deportation to
Cuba, is to be held in allegiance by
the Labor Department pending final
disposition in February of the Grim
inal proceedings against Lawrence
Ponder, Tampa vigilante leader
facing charges of assault and battery
as a result of his attack on Puentes
at the Browder Presidential Rally
on October rs, according to the
American Committee for Protection
of Foreign Born.
(Lorenzo Puentes, member of the
Cigar Makers International Union
and father of two children, entered
the United States legally in 1926. He
was arrested December 10, 1886, and
held for deportation, charged with
membership in the Communist
Party.)
The stay in the Puentes proceed
ings was an initial victory won by
the newly-formed Tampa sub-Com-
mittee of the American Committee
for Protection of Foreign Born
which claimed that the deportation
proceedings could be used to charge
that Puentes' evidence against Pom
der was p%rejudiced. The sub-Com-
mittee has secured Puentes' release
under a $1,000 bail bond.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-In an APP
peal issued here today the Ameri-
can Committee for Protection of For
eign Born requests that protests be
sent to Secretary of Labor Perkins
in Washington, D. c., demanding that
the deportation proceedings against
Wilfredo Puentes, II years old, OF
Tampa, Florida, be dropped.
Wilfredo Puentes, son of Lorenzo
Puentes, Tampa trade-unionist, en-
tered the United States legally with
his father in 1926. He was arrested
December 81, 1886, and held for de-
~portation to Cuba, charged with
membership in the Communists
Party. He is imprisoned in Tampa,
his bail being set by the Labor De-
partment at $1,000.

what would Foo Jung say when he
found his shoe box gone?
Suddenly the air seemed tense with
excitement. Ho-Ling gripped Ben's
hand. From the courtyard came the
sound of muffled shots. A few banging
noises. Then all was still again.
There was a long moment of agooiz-
ing suspense for Ho-Ling. Then he
sighed oontentedly. From the passage
way came the policemen. leading
handcuffed giaring and sullen Tony.
Hes our baby. all right. said the
Csotain. Good work. Kid!'
Before they could stop him. Ho-
Ling stepped up to Tony. and slipped
into his hands the tiny clay cat he had
oought for penny.
For you." he said. 'Nice present. !"
Then Ho-Ling smiled happily. He
had done his good deed for the day.

A phone call from perplexed Gus
toms agent sent Coates to distant
New Jersey pier one day.
There's guy over here that don't
speak any language we can make out"
the customs man told him. Hes got
some fish he wants to sell, as near as
we can figure it."
Coates was gone all afternoon. and
came back with a story that had both
comic and tragic sides.

in Brazil" he said. HE didn't speak

guese. l talked in gestures all after

to the Captain that that was the place.

The Captain nodded. Nov beat

Ho-Ling paused just moment. He
glanced at the spot where Meu had
died. and doubled his fist over the clay
cat in his pocket. Then putting his
little hand into the friendly grasp of
Ben. he was quietly led out of the pas
sage and into the street beyond.
There he stood with Ben and Foo
Jung. waiting. Quietly the police took
up their positions. As quietly. China

tant, bit pretending that it was not

heart was beating rapidly. If they

noon and managed to make this out:
1t seems he had a job about year
ago with some fish collectors who
came into his neighborhood. He knows
all the local fishes, 50 they hired him
to help them collect. They had a
phonograph along. or he'd heard one
somewhere - and he wanted one 50
he could be big man in his tribe. He
drew me a picture of it tan old
fashioned phonopaph with a big
hoFn
after the collectors left he began
to get ideas. He had learned that fish
are worth money, if you can get them
to New York. And he also learned
that the fish worth the most money
are the rare ones - the kinds a col
lector has never seen before.
"A few months ago he ran across
a fish that was new to him. He figured
that photograph was already bought
and paid for. All he had to do was
take his fish to New York.
He collected a lot of them
about two thousand - and hauled
them into Manaos. Then he got job
on a boat and got to America with
about five hundred still alive.
And every last one of them was a
guppy "a wild guppy! They were
worth only ten dollars on the open
market"
The strangest part of the story is
that wild guppies are not found in the
area around the head of the Amazon.
The nearest ones are supposed to be
about eight hundred miles away. But
Coates couldn't learn exactly where
the Indian found the fish; he showed
him a map, but the Indian had never
seen a map before and it meant moth
ing to him.
Coates spent most of the afternoon
trying to convince the poor Indian
that his fish were practically worth
less. He never did succeed. But the
dealer whose collectors were indirectly
and innocently responsible for the
Indians plight bought the guppies at
something above the market price
and shipped him back to Brazil -
with a phonogTaph.

proper respect for government build
ings, and also the proper disrespect for
dead cats.
But rather to his amazement there
was no stern reprimand from the Cap
tain, who said kindly and coaxingly,
well, kid, let's hear your story"
And Ho-Ling told him exactly what
had happened. told everything up to
the point of Tony giving him the note
to deliver.
why didn't you come directly to
us in the first place." asked the
Captain. when you had your sus-
picions of who he was?
Mot sure, then." said Ho-Ling.
''Are you now?"
"Yes, sir" And he handed the
Captain the note Tony had given him.
Evidence, eh?" said the Captain.
'Yes, SIR"
"You should be detective" mur-

to take it we cleaned out yesteE-

If it isn't. you'll get swift -"
"You catch me first" said Ho-Ling
soberiy.
I'VE won't make any more rumpus
over this than necessary. Let's CO."
And the Captain gave orders to Ben
to accompany the two Chinese boys.
They made their way quietly into the
streets. In short time, shorter than
Ho-Ling thought possible. several
police cars suddenly appeared.
Now. KID" said the Captain,
there's just one thing for you to do.
Show us where this basement is - and
then keep out of the way"
So together with the Captain and
several policemen they tiptoed down
the passageway. Peering around the

asked weakly. Whats he done now?"

but got out with exactly four fish. Not
four kinds of fish - just four live fish,
each less than two inches long. The
expedition cost $4,000. But the four
fish lived during the long trip to Ham,
burg. and they bred we'll in captivity.
In the end, the trip probably paid for
itself.
In many tropical countries. miners
and planters can 60 into the interior

are river-bound. When they are lucky
enough to get a launch, they ride up

aren't available. it takes man power
to deliver the cans to the head of the
stream. Beyond navigation, it's sim

are filled.
Eventually the cans are collected in
the seacoast towns of Africa. the Far
East and South America where the
larger steamers regularly call. and
then they are picked up for shipment
to Hamburg or New York.
At least nineteen large ocean liners
plying to all parts of the world are
fitted for transportation of fishes.
Their installations are most elaborate;
the actual physical equipment of
tanks, pumps for air and water. cleo
trio heaters and so on ranges up to
half a million dollars in each ship.
Some of them have as much as six
teen miles of hose connecting the
tanks. And on each ship is a sort of

cargo. It's full-time job. too. for the
