TO RUSH GUFFEY.
MARITIME BILL
Measure Curbing Strikes
Given Right of Way

G.N.S) Legislating against the
sitdown and 'quickie" strike, the
Guffey bill drastically revising
labor standards in the merchant
marine today was given right Of
way in the Senate Commerce Com
mittee considering amendments to
the maritime act.
Heartily indorsing the measure,
Senator Copeland CD Of New
York, chairman of the committee
scheduled it for consideration
Tuesday. He predicted committee
approval but said the measure
probably will meet stiff opposition
on the Senate floor.
IF enacted into law this bill
will bring safety at sea-" Cope
land said. cts the kind Of law
we ought to have. It revolution
izes peaceful adjustments Of
labor relations in the maritime
industry"
REVISION FORECAST
1t was privately predicted, how
ever, that the bill will be opposed
by organized labor and is so dras-
tic that ut will be withdrawn or
revised within a few days."
Differing from the recommends
tions of the Maritime Commission
that labor disputes be handled
through a meditation board simi-
lar to that governing the railway
industry, the Guffey Bill carries
the following provisions:
Prohibits sitdown or "quickie"
strikes; prohibits picketing Of
vessels because of jurisdictional
or other disputes between unions;
prohibits coercion of Seamen in
signing ships articles or violation
of articles after signed; prohibits
union meetings on board ship ex-
cept when in port.
STRIKES CURBED
Prohibits strikes in the mari
time industry until machinery
for settlement Is exhausted; pro
vides for hiring of seamen through
a shipping commissioners office
instead of through union hiring
halls, and makes it unlawful to
discriminate for or against any
seaman on account of labor union
membership.
