Resigns CMU
NEW YORK. Dec. 24-jP-Jos-eph
Curran resigned today as co
chairman of the CIO's committee
for maritime unity and urged
joint organization of all CIO,
AFL. and independent maritime
unions for protection against
"vicious anti-labor maritime"
legislation he said was threaten
ed. Curran, president of the CIO
national maritime union, said the
direct cau.se of his resignation
was an "intolerable situation" in
which he charged that four small
craft unions on the Pacific coast
together with the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse-
I men's union, headed by Harry
; Bridges, were using CMU as a
; "stooge."
In a statement explaining his
resignation, Carran said all mari
time unions also must "organize
jointly against the activities of
the coast guard, now becoming
vicious against the seamen."
