Rear Admiral C. S. Freeman.
, commandant of the 13t Naval Dis
! trict, recently severely criticized
labor unions for a “flimsy contro
] versy” in de aying the sa ling of
the steamship Baranof for Alas
ka and asserted such an episode
is “definitely a step” toward the*
government taking over opera-!
I tion of shipping between the con
tinental United Slates and Al
! aska.
The Baranof. which had been,
scheduled to sail on September
18 was held for several days in
Seattle because of the dislike of
crew members for a ship's cook.
Defense Effort Hindered
Admiral Freeman's comments
were unexpected & were among
the most critical ever voiced by
! a government official in the Seat
tle area.
His statement:
"The flimsy controversy bet-,
i tween the Firemen’s and Ste- j
ward's Unions aboard the S S
Baranof of the Alaska Steamship
1 Company, which prevented the
ship from sailing to Alaska, is a
clear example of the obstruc
tion to the national defense
effort because of ~the selfish
desire of certain union or
! ganizations to place their own
| convenience and prejudices ,
ahead of the nation’s security. !
"The S S Baranof was laden
with 1,200 tons of freight and 125
passengers, bound for military
and naval defense projects in Al
aska and the Aleutians before
winter makes transportation diffi
cult in that region. Because of a
i petty quarrel, involving person
alities rather than any sort of
valid union demands, the sailing
[ of the ship was postponed.
“Thus far, the business agents
• ’ of neither union have shown the
; slightest ability to control their
. own members so that a ship on
which it is admitted all legiti
1 mate union requirements are
I complied with may sail on a reg
i u.'arly scheduled cruise. The fail
; ure of these agents to control
their own men seriously weakens
I all union contracts of any sort. If
such contracts cannot be perform
ed in full by both parties con-;
cerned, there can be no reason
for making them.
“The failure of the Baranof to
sail, under the circumstances, is1
an example of a tendency noted
{ for some time in the Northwest i
for union organizations to render
| Jip service to the nation defense
I effort, but to fail signally in
granting any real concessions to
the common good of all patriotic
citizens in any matters which
affect their own privilege.”
i “It would clearly be a misfor
I tune for the national government
| to find it necessary to take over
J the operation of shipping be-j
i tween the continental United
j States and Alaska. The present
, episode, however, in which move 1
ment of vitally important freight]
and passengers is delayed for
only the barest reason, or no rea
! son at all, is definitely a step in
| that direction,” the statement!
; concluded.
Tlie Baranof was scheduled to;
sail for Nome, St. Michael.
[ Dutch Harbor and the Bering,
Sea, but the marine firemen re- j
fused to sign on because of a dis- j
like for one of the ship’s cooks,'
a member of the Marine Cooks j
& Steward’s Association.
The cook beat one of the fire
I men in a fight recently and the
firemen refused to sail with him. S
i The company refused demands
of crew members that the cook 1
| be discharged.
On the last trip North, the
! Baranof was delayed 26 hours in
I Juneau because of the fireman
versus cook controversy.
Union agents would not an
nounce the names of the princi- ]
pals involved.
The Baranof sailed Tuesday,
September 22, and is due to ar
rive Nome tomororw night at 11
o’clock.
