OF SEAMEN'S WAR
I S

New York-700 members of the Nat
ional Maritime Union at a special
meeting in the Port Of New York
today vigorously protested the an
nouncement of the Maritime Emer-
gency Board that it contemplates
putting into effect a reduction in
the war risk bonus for merchant
seamen lin anticipation Of the end
of hostilities III Europe"
The MWEB has called a meeting
for May IL. 1945 of representatives
of seamen's unions to discuss its
proposed program Of establishing a
worldwide floor of 33 and enc third
per cent ($4O monthly minimum) be-
low which bonuses will not be re-
duced during the period of the war
In the discussion that followed
Vice-Persident Myers presentation
of the MWEB proposals to the NMU
membership, it was agreed that:
l.. The contemplated reduction in
seamen's take-home pay would
make increasingly difficult tie
merchant seaman's problem of max
ing ends meet in this period of ris-
ing living costs. Basic wages for
seamen today are sub-standard-as
low as "a cents an hour in some
ratings.
2. The proposed order would
! have the effect of driving many mer-
chant seamen into shoreside indust-
ry where wages are higher, in a
period when the War Shipping Ad-
ministration is still advertising for
skilled men to meet the shortage of
merchant eamen
g.. Regardless of any action TAX
en- by the MWEB, the members of
the National Maritime Union would
retain their no-strike pledge and
| continue to deliver the goods to the
battlefronts all over the world The
membership was emphatic that
come what may. they would lot be
provoked into pulling the PIN"
The meeting endorsed unanimous
ly the wire sent by NMU officials
to the MWEB calling for a so day
postponement of the May Y meeting
The text Of the wire follows:
Regarding the statement issued to
the maritime unions re the bonus
cuts to be discussed in Washington
May II, the National Maritime I'm
ion requests that this meeting be
postponed for at least so days on
the following grounds: !
|. The bonus cut are in effect
c,tS in wartime Wages in a most
vital industry and this time is nec-
essary to properly present the prob
lem to the membership.
2. The War Shipping Administ-
ration has requested another gov
eminent agency, to wit, the Depart
ment of Labor. to undertake a sur
vey Of seamen's take-home money
in terms of basic wages. which are
as low as "a cents per hour. The
MWEB action should be postponed
until the government agency will
have had an opportunity to COM
plete this survey
8. The National Maritime Union
is in the process of negotiating with
the steamship companies to adjust
seamen's substandard wages as they
now exist and in the alternative
compel adjustment by the National
War Labor Board under the sub
standard sterilization provision
During these 60 days with good
faith on all sides this entire issue
can be resolved.
