VIOLATION

Federation's Fiftieth

OF SHERMAN

Anniversary

LONDON, Sept. 30 (British Wireless) The Shipping Federa- tion, one of the ckiest employers organisations which was formed as a fighting force to unite, the resistance of shipowners to the strike weapon of the Seamen's Union. then led by the famous Labour Leader and ploneer. the late Mr. Havelock Wilson. cele- brated its 50th anniversary on Monday,

Delegates from many countries attending the early maritime ses- sions of the International. Labour Conference at Geneva recall the violent verbal battles between Mr. Wilson and the Secretary of the Shipping Federation, the late Mr. Cuthbert Laws, who in British tradition were firm friends outside the conference hall,

THREE PHASES

The TIMES cites the comment of a Federation official that 50 years experience is a typical illus- tration of the three phases of the industrial relations beginning with bitter antagonism passing into uneasy and spa modic negotiation and gradually reaching sustained co-operation."'

The paper adds: "It is odd to reflect that this great, powerful and progresvive organisation should have had orig'n in sheer antagonism to the Trade Union with which today, without humbug or sentimentality, it can shake hands."
