LONG DELAY SEEN IN'

PROTEST MADE AGAINST
LANDIXRHER ORGANIZATIONS
WASHINGTON. NOV. 5. As the
capital waits breathlessly for the
publication of Chairman Kennedy's
report on the atate of the nation's
merchant marine, If any, the pessi
mists predict that the wait for action
on It will be a lot longer than be
tween breaths.
Some of the mon who are Inter
ested In regulating the conduct of
the men who go down to the sea
in ships predict that there won't be
any regulating until John Lewis says
the word. Some supporters of the
Ouffey bill, creating a mediation
board for ships, comparable to that
governing the railway labor relations,
share this belief.
However, the maritime experts say
there are two waya of looking at
that, and one of them, so far. has
been disregarded. While It Is Insisted
that the maritime union will flRht
any Kind of law that will stop strikes
and efforts to organlte until CIO.
gets the upper hand, there are two
developments which might change
the picture.
First, the fsot that Mr. Curran,
general organizer for the union, was
ordered to pull In his horns after
he attacked Mr. Kennedy recently,
and second, a number of the men
on the government lines themselves
are complaining about some of the
organizers' methods.
It hasn't come to the front yet,
but a seemingly innocuous ' resolu
tion was passed by the crew of the
liner Manhattan which la to come
botore the union aa a. whole. , Its
sense Is to bar from office In the
union or from the function of "dele
gate" any man who has not served
three years at sea.
What this means Is that those
some seamen call "newcomers" and
some call "agitators" aro to be kept
off the ships and out of union lead
ership. Charges that "communist and
foreigners" are ruining the union are
resented by the crews, but they ad
mit that there is some truth In the
statement that some of the glib talk
ers are men fresh from the shore
who really aren't seamen and who are
responsible for most of the trouble
brought down on the heads of the
' old hands.
It isn't that the men aren't strong
for maintaining their rlcht to col
lective bargaining, but there i evi
dence that organizers, in their zeal
t t . hAroAlntTu- mnlorltv against
the opposing union, are stirring up
friction.
