Union Denies Il Wants
'Antiunion Captain Of
Liner America 10 Join
BY fhs Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-United
States Lines last night said-but
the union denied-that Commodore
Harry Manning has been informed
he must join the ALL Masters,
Mates and Pilots Union before the
refurnished luxury liner America,
which he commands, would be
manned for her first postwar
voyage.
A spokesman for the lines said a
telegram containing the demand
had been sent by the Norfolk local
of the union to the United States
Lines office in the Virginia city.
He made his announcement in
characterizing as absolutely true"
an earlier statement by Frank j.
Taylor, chairman of the American
Merchant Marine Institute that the
famous skipper and his officers
would have to join the union before
The ship could sail.
Union Denies Demand.
But in Norfolk, M. E. Braden,
chairman of the unions Strike
| Committee for the Hampton Roads
area, denied the Norfolk local had
informed Commodore Manning he
must join the union.
I'VE have issued no order or any
other form Of instruction to Com
modore Manning or any officer on
the America to join our union" he
said. THE America is here for
only a short time and it is possible
that some other local may have
submitted such advice to the COM
modore."
Capt. Harry Martin, East Coast
head of the union, said the demand
had not originated in his of11ces in
New York. He added he did not
want Commodore Manning In his
union because of what he termed
the commodores "anti-union" at
titude.
Sailing Is Postponed.
Commodore Manning was not
available for comment.
The United States Lines postponed
the sailing of the vessel, which
served as the troop transport West
Point during the war, for second
time yesterday because Of the mari
time strike. The vessel Is sched-
uled to depart from New York for

Mr.. Graham stated that the

event in labor history and in
the affairs of Montana teach
ers.
Policies which will set the program
Of the federation were adopted at. the
business session which took place dur
ing the afternoon in the Anaconda
Junior High School. These included
close cooperation with the Montana
Federation of Labor in working for
the passage of progressive school
legislation the promotion and support
OF programs of adult and workers
education and the passage of a good
tenure law for teachers. Enthusiastic
support of the tax study committee
composed Of the Montana Federation
Of Labor, the clio, the Farmers Union
and other liberal groups was shown by
the delegates. The committee has as
its purpose the securing of reliable
tax information as a basis for propos-
ing sources of revenue for education.

legislation. All officers and committee
heads were elected for a term Of two
years.
At the dinner meeting held at the
Montana Hotel at $50 in the evening
James d. Graham, in presenting the
cndlltT 10 MISS .htIulIP, gave dSSuI-
ance OF the unqualified support of or
ganized labor OF Montana for the new
organization.
Mr.. Graham told of the long fight by
labor unions against black listing
which, In some respects apparently
exists for school teachers. He COM
plimented the pioneering efforts OF
the teachers unions OF Montana to
protect the interests Of all teachers
and urged that every possible effort
be made to %acquaint them with the
American Federation of Teachers.
Principal speaker Of the. evening
was Perry S. Melton, Of Kalispell who
talked on the subject "The Teachers
Place In The Labor Movement"
Mr.. Melton briefly outlined the
early history of efforts toward free
education and the attendant suspi-

history -"
Mr.. Melton called attention to the
services rendered by organized labor
over many years to teachers and the
cause Of free education and urged his
listeners to not hesitate in bringing as
many teachers as possible into closer
association with the labor movement
to demonstrate appreciation and to ef-
fectiyely continue the never ending
fight for free thought and action.
In compIimenting the pioneering
union teachers Of the newly formed
Montana Federation Of Teachers for
their courage and foresight, he
urged them to not hesitate in con-
demning the company unionism
forced upon the majority Of teachers
by some school administrators.
Following this talk, officers Of the
new organization affixed their sigma
lures on the charter and the other
guests autographed the back Of the
document.

STRIKE AT DAVIS
COMES TO CLOSE
500 Carpenters, Cranemen,
Laborers Will Return i,
To Jobs Today

The more than 500 carpenters,
cranemen. and laborers who staged
a mass walkout at Camp Davis on
September 8, the day after Labor
Day, will return to their jobs at
the camp at 8 o'clock this morning
without having achieved the pur-
pose of their week-long strike-a
raise in pay, a reliable Camp Davis

The back to work" decision
was made at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning after a conference be-
tween j. L. Dew, business manager
of the local ALL trades union, and
two government officials, the
spokesman said.
The striking workmen agreed,
through Dew, 70 go back on the
Job this morning, but negotiations
for the pay raise are still pending,
the spokesman added.
Over Time Cut
The strike was brought on when
the Camp Davis working week was
cut from 48 to 40 hours. The work
men Immediately asked for the
wage hike to make UP for the lost
time.
Although the men will return to
work this morning, the strike &C
tually began to crack yesterday
morning when some of the crane
men reported back to the job. the
Spokesman said.
The work which stood idle from
last Tuesday until this morning was
the task of dismantling the surplus
barracks at the camp for shipment
to many cities for conversion into
emergency housing units. The men
were also engaged in revampiag
some of the surplus structures into
buildings for the Navy in conJunc-
ton with the wal missile expert
ments being conducted at the camp.
