﻿Many are the means used by marine unions to preserve their jurisdiction on deep water and it is getting so nowdays an AB must relieve a harborboatman whenever the barge or scow goes outside the harbor limits and he himself relieved upon return of barge to harbor. 
This puts a burden on the respective seaman, inland waters and oceanic, double duty. Here again seamen can solve this problem by organizing a One Big Union for all clasifications in the Marine Industry and become as ONE—as Huey Long lisped: 
Every man An Able Bodied. 
Further, to overcome the masters penchance for the crertion of labor-turnover, black-ball and general disruption of workers “schemes” for livlihood, the seamen can make it a point to have all hiring done in the union hall. 
This also calls foa One Big Union, and until such is a fact all else is a matter of semifutile tactic, only partially successful. 
The boss’ bandwagon has great big spikes sticking in the seats and an over-trustful citizen of the Hatteras’ may tear his pants.
