LABOUR FACTION DISPUTE
LONGSHOREMEN DEFIANT NOT TAKING C. 1.0. TERMS NEW YORK, July 12. Mr. Harry Bridges, on arrival in New York to-day to take charge of the maritime organisation being organised by the Committee for Industrial Organisation, said that if Mr. Ryan, president of the Longshoremen’s Association, did not co-operate, the Committee for Industrial Organisation would proceed on its own way. He denied that he, personally, was a Communist, although he admitted that there were many Communists within the Pacific maritime union. They were militant and sincere. The Pacific maritime union was prepared to lead the way to the Committee for Industrial Organisation without the eastern union, if necessary.
Mr. Ryan, in an interview, said: “I am not interested in any statement tiy that Australian Communist. He is like prickly heat to me. We are not taking ultimatums from anybody.”
