KENNEDY AND THE SLING LOAD
 OF GREEN HIDES

After reading the address made by Martini Chairman Joseph Kennedy at Seattle during tn recent ship tieup there, isn't hard to understan why his remarks have echoed up and down the wes coast. Aside from making very able speech Ken nedy hit maritime strike troubles right on the hea and offered solution based it seems to us on soun reasonlng-the principle of mediation and at eas effort to get together before strikes are called Blu let's quote the Maritime Chairman:
 This trouble, it seems to me indicates more eloquently than anything that I might say the absolute necessity for some means of ar Dltraton of maritime disputes I hate to ad- mt that great American port-perhaps entire coast-can be tied by by the inability Of rational human beings to settle by peace ful means, question to the exact route to be followed by slingful of cargo, in this case green hides, in passing from one ship to another To permit strike or lockout to develop from such dispute just doesn't make sense
 To minimize strife, and to give both em- ployee and employer an opportunity for the peaceful adjudication of disputes, the mari time commission has recommended to Con- gress that the mediation principles of the railway labor act be applied to the maritime industry. The act is administered by the na- tional mediation board which has been sig nally successful in settling disputes in the railroad industry
 It should be emphasized that this act does not prohibit the of labor's most impor- tant Weapon-the strike. It merely provides in the pubic interest that such weapons shall not be employed until reasonable efforts have been made by both parties to settle the dispute With the assistance, if need be- of the Federal government. Although complaint is made by some against possible delay it is the opinion Of the commission that in water transporta- tion as well as in rail and air transportation the interests of the public are paramount: both operators and employees must relinquish some Of the privileges of these who are not engaged in businesses directly connected With the public welfare. In the maritime Iield additional important considerations pre- Vall-those relating to safety at sea and to national defense
 The commission wishes it to be clearly understood that the proposed measure would not interfere in any way with the orderly processes Of collective bargaining or with the development of stable unionism in the indus uy. on the contrary, the applicat ton of the principles of the railway labor act to the maritime industry will foster collective bar gaining on a permanent basis and thereby serve the interests of employee employer and the general public, just as it has done in rail- way transportation.
 As MT Kennedy pointed out. it is just lit bit silly when men in this reputedy enlightened az tie up entire port just because of difference opinion to the route to be followed by a sling lo, of green hides. And why? Because not only in tn dispute but in countless others the factions fail heed those otber words of wisdom. the interests the public paramount
 That is why the recommendation of the Martin
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-01-25

Commission for the principle Of mediation is sensible land logical It makes the public potent third Iparty in these differences in which too many times
 in the past it has been the goat The principle has
 been successful where applied to the railroads It should be equally effective in maritime as well as other labor disputes.
