Letter from Tom Barker on Communist unions and global links
Tom Barker reports from the Mystery Land about organizing the Marine Transport Workers Union provisional structure representing seamen and dockers across countries. He notes a August Congress in Petrograd, plans for industrial unionism, cross‑island links, and aims to unify British Isles and European docks under a single movement. He mentions May Day, praise for communism, and asks about Charley Reeve and J.B.'s status, urging support for fellow “wobblies” and workers’ control.
