They hav made pcr*on~l attacks i.n me beeui; eof my patriotism during the war. and t.>r thi> th«» Ue»U have, never forgiven inc. Destruction of British Shipping. 'One of their objectives is to destroy British shipping, though they do not s.»>* «o openly. They talk eJbout wage* and try U> impress our seafaring men that they are. the lowest paid of worker*. I hoy entirely overlook tho fact that m foreign countries wages axe i early l>cr cent, below ours, and that foreign. ships -which pay low wages are carrying cargoes from British ports winch. under oqnal condition*, would be carried by British vessels. With the Commnnist* that is a matter of mere detail. When they point to tho 'millions of pctutdV being made by shipownerw. it ia necessary only to look at the stock and share lists, and also call attention to the- fact, that during the last tW© years a larg* number of shipping firms have bob* into liquidation.

No man ha* left his ship in any of the American port* in consequcno of a strike. Paid Picket*. "The amazing thing is that the sane kind of bulletin published in New York Appears in Canning Town; it appears daily in Australia and South Africa, inorder to mislead the men on strike from British ships, and to convey the idea that the strike is in foil swing in Great Britain and the United States. Yea al lthe while ships are sailing to tiote. "Some of our Labour leaders do no* seem to realise the inaidiona manner in which the 'Jleds' are endeavouring t* kill the Trade Unions.
