INTERCOLONIAL SHIPPING.
Your correspondent "Britisher, not Foreigner" asserts that the Waterside '' J v Workers' Union and myself are attempting to _ , create trouble on the waterfront by inter- ; - fering with Canadian ships. He says we perpetrated a piece of hypocrisy in attacking' foreign shipping; that we are looking for trouble and that we will "embroil many good, hard-working men and their families in hard- - •. ship." He hopes the waterfront workers and - seamen will realise where their "so-called leaders" are heading, and "will make them _ call a halt 'before it is too late." I sugges that as "Britisher, not Foreigner" has made , j. use of my name, he ought, in common fair- ; nees, to have disclosed his own. His use ot t a pen name confers upon him the advantage that he can say what he likes, unhampered by considerations of strict He can attack without being seen. If "Britisher, no Foreigner" really believes the things he has said and wishes them to be taken seriously % he must come into the open with the men whom he lias attacked. T. F. ANDERSON, _ Secretary, Seamen's Union*
