BUREAUCRATS IN ACTION
THE GOVERNMENT bureaucrats ha,

THE GOVERNMENT bureaucratS have once
more stuck their noses into the affairs of the
maritime industry, and their hands into the
money pockets of the merchant seamen. The re-
cent action of the Wage Sterilization Board in re-
tusing approval of the new wage scales negotiated
i between the ship operators and the Seafarers In
5ernational Union, and approved by the VISA, is
1 4 delibert attempt to break down the collective
bargaining pattern which has been established by
the STU.
They, the Washington masterminds have
come to the conclusion that no contract between
abor and management is legal unless it is con-
Isummated in Washington, under the watchful
eyes and with the fumbling aid of the government
red-tape artists
The democratic method of collective bargain
ing, without outside interference, is procedure
which entails thoughtful give and take. AS a re-
suit of many such bargaining sessions, the STU
lcame up with the best contract ever won by any
union of merchant Seamen. And now, after this
long and arduous period, the gains which we have
made are being wiped out by men who give lip
Iservce to the encouragement of collective bar
gaining, but who really are interested solely in
concentration of power in their own hands.
The difference between the wage scales arriv-
led at by collective bargaining, and those approved
10y the Wage Sterilization Board average out to
about cent per hour Only 81 ships out of total
of 347 will be denied the benefit of the higher
wages, since those ga are under the jurisdiction of
the War Shipping Administration To break it
volved will receive the higher wages, while the re-
naming 27 per cent are being asked to content
themselves with wages on par with those paid to
the MNU and other unions of the GNU.
The two members of the Wage Sterilization
Board who voted against approval of the agree
ments, the labor member voting in favor, have
little basis for their decision. Either they do not
recognize the concept of free collective bargaining,
or they refuse to accept the Judgment OF thel
union, the employers and the War Shipping Ad-
ministration. All of these groups are responsbleI
for maintaining stability in the maritime indus
try, and all petitioned the WSB to approve the|
contracts for VISA vessels.
This type of action if allowed to continue,
will destroy free collective bargaining, and at the
same time foster dangerous government control
of unions and industry. AS conditions stand at this
time, the boards decision has only given rise to al
great deal of unrest which may lead to even more
serious consequences
The STU and the Sailors Union of the Pacific
have negotiated their contracts with the employ
ers They will not sit idly by while government
bureaucrats deprive them of what they fought
for.
