There ure some on the Pacific Coast woo ere adopting the position “nat the Maritime Fecoration of tne Pacivic must be fai ~ - = i . » preserved at all costs, as against & national organization. Last wees) shen I was in San Francisco, an attempt wus ciue tg puss a reso~ lution at a joint meeting of the three crafts called t:T@:robert of the S.U.P., which woulda in effect have comemed the C.2.0. and the C.1.0. Maritime Comnittee and the N.M.U, The results of ‘that meet- ing - I tried to get in and they sould not lct me, and finally as a result of my efforts and sevoral others and a vote by the membership, T wag permitted to cnter anu given the floor. “ec manuced to have the resolution voled dow by ae vote ef thr:, “pundved t. nine, which proved very clearly that the sentiment of the actual ron. enc file or, the Pecivic Coust is uefinitely to set up a national organization ana align thencelves with the C.1.0. any efrorts of indivisuals on the Pacific Caust in opposition to this, anc their future action will expose them to stop the buildin; of uw national organization and the affiltation witii the C.1.0. will mean thet they sill cut their own throuts. There is not a possible chance thay they vill yet avay with it. the Vest Coast Unions ure nov conducting a referencus ballet and on it is the question of siriliation with the C.I.0. end particinstion in the National Convention that is ta he hel, Fror all dncications the result will be favorable. To think vhen *he Convention Liselr concéesnmea the C.1.0. - thieh tiny ala by a vote - this dic not indicate in any way what the genilianis of the men tere on the Pacific Coast. Many organizations which are still A.F. of L, avfiliatcs an will net tolerate interference with tuedr affairve - yot in mutters that desl with Meritinse affairs, they uuve votes, so the actuel ceciston 4s of no importance. She @ederution of the Pucitic die din ite dast ute.c oF dise solution. Tho hatrecdism that has been srovins for the -ast twenty yoars iy now on the decline. Tne men on the Coust ure coming closer to the Atlantic Coust men unc are paving the way for a2 national setup. The seenen af tra Pacific do want a Netionel earganizetion unc they intend to have it, unc I know thait the Rank ond rile of the Pucifie Coagt Fant a leadership of this kind.

Io think our personnel - by that Dorean the huns anid File of tne WU. is jaobutd; furtaer developed, nore far-reachins and will zo further. - 16 - a Mk car
