RIVAL UNIONS
IN AMERICAN MARITIME INDUSTRY. NEW MOVE AGAINST C. 1.0. ATLANTIC CITY, August 22. The maritime labour dispute threatens to assume greater magnitude. The American Federation of Labour is organising a new department encompassing over 500,000 sailors, longshoremen, teamsters and radio operators engaged on the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Mexican Gulf, and the Great Lakes. The shipping president, Mr William Green, declared that the department would fight to a finish against Bridges and all C. 1.0. maritime organisations. The move is the most ambitious ever undertaken by the federation and is the strongest attack ever launched against Bridges. Green anticipates that a number of C. 1.0. members will desert to him as soon as the department is formed, thus clapping Bridges into a vice.
