CREW'S OFFER TO WORK SHIP
REPUDIATION by majority
A second letter has been sent to the Press from the crew of the Dominion Monarch. It states: “ We, the undersigned, wish to dissociate ourselves from the letter signed ‘ The . Crew, Dominion Monarch,’ which was written without the knowledge or assent of the great majority of the crew. It is significant that the author, stays anonymous. We are unaware of his identity.” “ While some of us consider the watersiders’ attitude as somewhat unreasonable in these times, ‘black-legging’ on our part is unthinkable. Many of us who are able would be willing to help load the ship, provided the parties concerned were agreeable primarily the Watersiders’ Union. We would suggest that such trouble-making letters, unless signed by the writer and supporters, should not be printed.— We are, etc., P. J. Jefferies, of the ship’s catering department, and 153 others.” - Thirty of the signatures attached are from the deck department, 116 from the catering. department, and eight from the engine department.
