Union Stops Relief
Ship To Hawaii
SAN FRANCISCO. «•>—A Mat
son line vessel scheduled to trans
port food and medicine to Hawai.
was held up today by a refusa.
from the committee for maritime
unity to grant clearance during
the west coast shipping strike.
The maritime commission said
the supplies had been requested
by the Governor of Hawaii and
reported that the OMU had indi
cated it would turn down future
applications for ship clearances.
A CMU spokesman said, "where
the first consideration is relief for
the people, we’ll say yes and clear
the ships; where the first consid
eration is profit for the ship oper
ator, the CMU says no.
“We’ve decided this is a case of
profit,” and we said “no,” he said.
A Matson line spokesman 9aid
the CMU had guaranteed that the
operator would suffer no loss by
operating relief ships and had
agreed that the crews would han
dle sufficient cargo on the return
voyages to enable the company to
avoid losing money.
‘All we’re asking is that we
break even on the voyage,” he
said.
Three Matson relief ships have
sailed during the strike. Three
unions, the CIO marine engineers
and the CIO longshoremen, affil
iated with the OMU, and the AFL
masters, mates and pilots have
been on strike since Sept. 30.
