The labor unions and the railroad brotherhoods developed into magnificent organizations that could be relied upon to carry out a mediation program. and the bill that came before the House and was finally adopted was one written originally by the labor unions and adopted as modified by the House. Conditions in the maritime unions may be bad at the top. I do not pass -judgment on them. but the witnesses who appeared before the Dies committee. the witnesses who appeared before my committee. the men with whom I have talked on the ships. men who are members of the National Maritime Union and a part of the crews of our American ships. the greater part of those men who are sailing the seas. are as loyal and patriotic American citizens. either by naturalization or by nationality. as the men upon this floor. and Nazis and Communists will never get control of the American ships. It is hard to reach these men with the facts. Those law abiding. able. conscientious. patriotic men are out upon the seven seas.
