Smm—I was much interested in leading the article by George E. Sokolsky published in your issue the 13th. Now what I, together with many others, would like to know, and wonder if Mr. Sokolsky or you could tell us is this: if the C: MLS.N.
Ca. has assets to the value of over "forty millions" and is in a solvent, condition why do they not pay those who are working for them their wages? Again why do they not pay' those who have grown. old. in their service through more than halt a life time and now bent with years! on the promise of a in mot being why do they not] di agreements entered into some years ago in regards to Home leave, after so many yea suggest that if the CALS.N. Ca, wishes to be respected as an upright, straightforward self respecting company and on a par with others, that they fulfil all of their ast agreements, as every shipping} man and others too know that the ships are running and carrying, freights and making good monty.
This is Public Opinion": That any self-respecting company that enters, into an agreement with its em. ployees, and then treats that agreement as a "scrap of paper" only, deserves nothing less than to b allowed to go to the wall.
