That is, if 80 per cent of the names on a list are names of union men, a skipper hiring a crew for a Maritime Commission paid vessel will get 80 per cent union men and 20 per cent non union. That is the east coast On the west coast, the dominant union is the AFL Sailors' Union of the Pacific Harry Lundberg's outfit This union will not accept the compromise agreed to by the east coast union.

It is holding out for straight out hiring of 100 per cent union crews, through the hiring halls. All of which brings down to date. Some time ago the American Mail Lines suspended its service between Seattle and the orient Since this is one of the, "essential trade routes" on the books of the Maritime Commission, it was up to the commission to see that it was serviced. A number of vessels are now under construction for that route; pending their completion (some time next year) the commission, allocated the freighters Coldbrook, Satartia, Collingsworth and Ca piUo to that route, to be run by an operating agent At about the time that these east coast freighters were picked, Harry Lund berg came to Washington. With him came has archenemy, CIO Longshoremen's boss Harry Bridges.

What brought Bridges along was Lundberg's insistence that his union would picket the first west coast ship which hired its crew anywhere but at a union hiring hall. That vessel is the Coldbrook. It shipped a crew in Norfolk. for the trip to Seattle, where it begins Its regular assignment unaer tne law, a sailor is entitled to his fare back home if paid off at a port other than the one where he originally shipped; therefore, such of the Coldbrook's crew as do not elect to ship for the voyage across the Pacific will get their train fare back to Included In tha party were John A.

The govern ment is getting first hand ex perience of the headaches which often befall the employer. It is getting the experience through the IT. S. Maritime Commission, one of whose ships sailed squarely into a union picket line when it docked at Seattle the other day, It's all rather involved, so listen carefully. The Maritime Commission runs some ships itself; others are run for it by private corporations un der government supervision.

On these latter ships, the Maritime Commission pays the crews, direct; sends a check to each skipper each month, out of which he makes the payments. The operating agent, thus, has nothing whatever to do with the payment: and the crews, as a result, are regarded by the Maritime Commission as govern ment employes. Being an employer of seamen, the commission has tangled with the unions about hiring. The unions claim the government ought to hire from union hiring halls, just like the private com panies which have signed union contracts; the commission retorts that it's a fixed government policy that membership or non membership in any organization cannot be a precedent to employment by the government Dominant seamen's union on the east coast is the CIO National Maritime Union. It has agree merits with several shipping com panies, under which those companies get their crews from NMU hiring halls union sailors.

When the Maritime Commission started hiring men, the NMU protested vigorously. After a while, though, it decided to compromise. It had all of its membera register with the U. S. shipping commissioner in their respective ports; and since it is the fixed policy of the Maritime Commission to avoid discrimination in hiring, takes its union and non union men from tbwiitioner' lists in the ex Air Cool Pernanents "DELUXE" WAVE t'holnvjiatf Qierokee Indian whom the trail was B4ma4.T i The extension of the Kansas Pacific aUroad to Abilene, in 436T, provided a market for Texas long horn, and for 20 years, huge rdj numbering from 4000 to plodded slowly northward.
