London, May 10, At the request of the National Union of Seamen, Lt. Commander J. M. Kenworthy, Labour MP. for Central Hull, left for Antwerp today, accompanied by officials of the National Union of Seamen, to investigate the successful system in force there preventing abuses in the engagement of Arab, Asiatic and other alien seamen.
The visit is largely the result of the unrest among unemployed British seamen in connection with the employment of Arabs and Lascars on British ships.—Reuter.
