The second and third issues of the Waterfront Worker, in February and March 1933, apparently also Hynes’s work, hinted at some new organization on the docks but provided no further information. The fourth issue, in April 1933, acknowledged the MWIU. The fifth issue, in May 1933, cited the MWIU as the only viable organization for longshoremen and called for a “United Front” of seamen, teamsters, and stevedores. The same issue carried a letter from Roy Hudson, head of the MWIU, and a long article on the refusal of Seattle longshoremen to load military supplies in 1919 for U.S. troops in Siberia, concluding, “The longshoremen hold a strategic position in the struggle.” The June issue was highly critical of the newly chartered local of the International Longshoremen’s Association, AFL, and pushed the MWIU as an alternative.45
