APPEAL TO SEAMEN
COMMONSENSE URGED RUINATION THE ALTERNATIVE (Received Dth June, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY,' This Day. Mr. Tom Walsh, who is seeking rceloetion to the general secretaryship of the Australian Seamen's Union, has issued a manifesto in which he declares that "there has been a gradual revolution in the conditions of the seamen without the shedding of a single drop of blood," and that the attitude of the employers had changed even more than tho conditions of the men at sea. At the same time, it is necessary that the seamen should realise the hazardous position the Australian shipping industry occupies to-day. "I propose that the commonsense of the seamen be allowed to assert itself and create an industrial conscience which will prevent men stopping ships for all sorts of facetious reasons, discreditable to themselves and their fellow-members, which will eventually spell the utter ruin of the Seamen's Union."-
