Under an equitable system Of
employment rotation followed BY
the organization. work opportuni-
ties and earnings are proportioned.
From among the 500 workers II
has supported for a half-century,
now only $50 men assigned TO Is
gangs Of 10 men EACH can claim
any recognizable income; highest
income per man during the last
80 days has been $40 for men of
one gang and the lowest gang has
earned SIC per man during the
same 30-dsy period. Most gangs
have received a sum about half
way between for their months
work.
On Rotation Basis
The remainder of the groups
original 500 are also dispatched
for work on a rotation basis:
When a man has earned Sc he is
ineligible for further work that
week until all have earned the
same amount: no man has had
chance to work twice in any week
during the past several months.
But the longshoremen are only
typical and indicative of the
maritime industry's plight in gen.
eral.
In normal times an average
of 100 ships called here each
month. Only a dozen have been
here during the past 80 days.
This ports splendid wharves,
warehouses and terminal facilities
are equal to any on the Pacific
coast. With exception of a few
notable instances, the warehouses
are completely empty and their
personnel has gone to other kinds
Of work.
Founded on Shipping
Tacoma was pioneered and
founded upon its shipping, and
the backbone industries of the
city are dependent upon the
services of thriving maritime
activity-sawmills, the smelter.
FIGURING mills. manufacturing, etc.
Continued elimination of
shipping will eliminate the
manpower and facilities that
make shipping possible, which
I'm turn will be reflected In
the prosperity and welfare Of
the community rs a whole.
