RIVAL SEAMEN’S UNION
RUMOURS IN BRITAIN KEEN FIGHT PROMISED (United Service) LONDON, Saturday. Rumours have been c&rrent since the expulsion of the National Union of Seamen from the Trades Union Congress that the Transport and General Workers’ Union will shortly open a campaign for the organisation of a Marine Workers* Trades Union. The leaders are troubled because now there is no organisation representing the seamen affiliated to the general council of the Trades Union Congress. The organisation committee is earnestly considerlhg the whole seamen’s question. Mr. Cathery, acting-general secretry, says the National Union of Seamen has been established 40 years and is recognised by important people in the shipping industry. Any other union that may try to organise the seamen will have something very big to tackle. Certainly the union would not take it lying down. They wo*.ld anybody and everybody.
