KENNEDY URGES
Mediation Law Now For
Shipping Industry

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Jos-
eph p Kennedy, chairman of the
maritime commission, disagrees
strongly with Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins on maritime labor
problems He holds that it is not only
not premature" to put through GER
tain reforms for seamen and long
shoremen; but that the time for these
is ripe, if not overripe.
He stated his views in letter to
Senator Copeland, chairman of the
senate committee on commerce.
''No reason appears" he said, in
part, "why technique Of radiation
and conciliation based on nearly forty
years experience which is now made
available by law to labor and man
agement in the industries Of trans
portation by rail and air should not
likewise be provided for workers and
operators in the shipping industry
Action Needed at Once
'SThe enactment Of legislation pro-
yiding methods for the prompt and
orderly settlement Of labor disputes
in the industry is urgently required"
And in another place, after reciting
the damages resulting from strikes
by longshoremen and seamen, he says:
"To tolerate present conditions and
to allow the present chaotic condi-
tion to continue without determined
and courageous effort to bring. about
proper conditions III the field Of mari
time labor would, IN our opinion, in
yite the complete destruction of the
American Merchant Marine"
Not Red, Says Curran
Joseph Curran, president Of the
National Maritime Union, appeared
before the senate committee, saying,
in response to charges Of "commu-
nism," that
II have not been a communist, ]
am not a communist now, and do not
believe that ever intend to become
a communist and added that if COM
munism is growing and spreading in
this country, it is because the COM
munists take the part of down trod-
den workers whom other folk neglect.
