(con. from page l) MoGrady the strike breaker~ha~

been here but a few days~and al~ ready has set UJ? the machinery ~ to send the strikers back to worK while the demands are arbitrated. In this aoti9n~he is getting the su~port of o~r district officials. Fellow-strikera~we must be On

guard . The shipowners,McGxady, the Ch~mber of Commerce;the · police~the city administration~ the stool pigeons and spies are all out to break the striRe .

The tentative agreement;which vros turned down by the entir e ooast~ia oboe more brought OQt by lJ(cGl·ady . We striking lo,p~- ... sharemen do not want the tents~ tiv e agr(Jement . \We do not want arbitration. We do not need · 11cGrady to settle our strike. WE '"IANT A CLOSED SHOP. We want a ooaa'twise agreement i we l7ant a joint agreement between longshoremen~seamen and all merine workers . 'e wnnt direct negotiations be: t~een the strikers and t he ship~ ownors . Pe will negotiate hours and r.ages.

We nill stay on strike while the negotiations are being carr­ied on.

For those things we wi ll fight to the bitter end .

We will fight along with all' VJorltars in the mar 1no industry~ unt 'll no oarr;y this fight to a auceasful ooncl usion.
