■WASHINGTON —The govem-
ment is getting first-hand ex-
perience of the headaches which
often befall the employer. It is
getting the experience through the
. V S. Maritime Commission, one of
whose Ships sailed squarely into a
union picket line when it decked
•t Seattle the other, day.
It’s ali involved, so listen
earefwUy.
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
unions claim the
ought to hire from union hiring
halls just like the private com-
panies which have signed union
contracts; the commission retorts
that ifs a fixed government policy
that membership or non-member-
>hip in any organization cannot
be a precedent to employment by
the government
Dominant seamen’s union on
the enst coast is the CIO National
Maritime Union. It has agree-
ments wMh several shipping com-
panies, under which those com-
pontee get their crews from NMU
hiring halls—union sailors. When
the Maritime Commiaaion started
hiring men. the NMU protested
vigorously After a while, though,
if decided to compromise.
It had all of its members reg-
ister wHh the U. 9. shipping com-
missioner in their respective ports;
■nd since It is the fixed policy of
the Maritime Commission Io avoid
discrimination in hirings, it takes
its union and non-union men from
the commissioners' lists in the ex-

chair. don’t like to play that
sort of game, Tiny. It’s too dan*
Anice screamed and Jerry gave
her a quick shove which sent .her
spinning aside out danger. "The
feud's over,” he said shortly. "Put
your knife away tiny.”
Tiny slicedthe air over Jerry's
head menacingly. "1’lk put it away
after I slit yore gosfzle.”

CHAPTER XXXI *
Tiny Lathrop was not actually
as large as an elephant, but he
would easily make t-hree of Jerry.
A slack-jawed, Herculean figure,
he shambled in the hotel door with
long arms dangling.
Anice backed away toward Jer-
ry with a cryrnf flight as the idiot
shuffled to the desk and spoke to
the clerk in a hoarse wjhisper: -

• I One dirty, big-knuckled hand
disappeared in a pdeket of Tiny's
ragged trousers frnd came out with
a singte-blacled clasp-knife, which
he opened and held up delightedly.
Tne clerk tried to back farther
away frdm him, darting a fright-

and saying feebly:

"Ain't, huh?” Tiny Lathrop
turned slowly to face Jerry, jag-
ged yellow teeth biting up on his
thicx upper tip. “Then what's he
claimin' the Crandon place fer?
He’s one uv ’em all right. The

Anice sighed weakly, clinging to
Jerry. “It’s just sudden spells. He
gets over them and he’s all right
for days at a time."
Jerry grinned blithely at the
clerk. "I always jump up in the
aif twice and yell boo when I feel
a spell coming dn,” he explained.
“That s a sort of warning to get
out of my way.”
They went toward the d<«4 and

pear m the lists. That is. it $0
per eent of the names on a list
are names of union men, a skip-
per hiring a crew for a Maritime
Commission-paid vessel will net
80 per cent union men and 20 | ar
cent non-union.
That is the east coast On the
west coast, the dominant union
is the AFL Sailors’ Union of ths
Pacific—Harry Lundberg’s outfit.
Thia union will not accept the
compromise agreed to by the ent
eoast union. It la holding out for
straight-out hiring of 100 per cent
union crew* through the hiring
halls.
All of which brings us down to
date. Some time ago the Amer-
ican Mail Lines suspendsd its
service between Seattle and the
orient Since thia is one of the
"essential trade routes” on the
books of the Maritime Commis-
sion. it was up to the commission
to see that it was serviced. A
number of vessels are now under
construction for that route; pend-
ing their completion (some time
next year) the commission allo-
cated the freighters Coldbrook,
Satartia, Collingsworth and Ca-
pillo to that route, to be run by
an operating agent.
At about the time that these
east-coast freighters were picked,
Harry Lundberg came to Wash-
ington. With him came his arch-
enemy, CIO-Longshoremen’s boss
Harry Bridges. What brought
Bridges along was Lundberg's in-
sistence that hit 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,
Va., for the trip te Seattle, where
it begins its regular assignment
Under the law, a sailor is en-
titled to his fare back home if
paid off at a port other than the
one where he originally shipped;
therefore, such of the CoMbrook’s
erew as do not elect to ship for
the voyaga acrons the Pacific will
get their train tare back to Nor-
folk, V

lurers and whotesalan finally
broke down, and the bill sailed
through th« Senate to final pass-
age. The House quickly concurred
iri Senate amendments, and sent
it to Gov. O’Dantek who is ex-
pected to ask Attorney General
Gerald Mann for an opinion bafore
signing or vetoing it. O’Daniel
pledged his support to such a Law
during the campaign, but later
indicated, in a speech at Houston
that he didn't favor it, so, as
usual, observers were in a quand-
ary as to what he might do with
it.
Source of some of, the heavy
pressure which has been put on in
Austin for the bin was revealed as
it went through, as coming from
the whiskey interests. The set-up
for distribution of liquor in the
United States is widely different
from that which existed before
prohibition. Today, most liquor is
distributed through wholesale
drug organizations, and in Texas,
much of the retailing of liquor is
through retail drugstores. The na-
tional wholesale chains have been
controlling retail prices on liquor
in Texas for more than a year, by
means of an agreement among
themselves, under which they
supply liquor retaiters with a
“suggested fair price” schedule at
which each brand of liquor should
be sold at retail. Retailers who
violate this "suggested price”
schedule find their supply of
liqqor cut off. Newspapers In the
larger cities haw aided the
scheme, which many lawyers de-
clare is an open violation of the
Texas anti-trust laws, by refusing
to accept advertisements from
"cut price" liquor stores which
offer liquors at prices lower than
the wholesalers' "suggested fair
prices." In Texas, milltons of dol-
lars worth sf liquor is soM
through drugstores for "medici-
nal" purposes in dry territory, and
it is amazing what an epidemic of
illness prevails in ths dry towns
