Andrew Furuseth Club
Dedicated to Seamen
New York City.-The Andrew Furuseth Club for the exclusive use of the American seamen was dedicated at 30 East 37th Street in a ceremony which included many prominent persons who joined with sailors dressed in sweat-shirts and dungarees to pay tribute not only to the men who go to sea today but also to those who have fallen in line of duty, and above all to the father of organized maritime labor. Andrew Furuseth.
The club, sponsored by the United Seamen's Service, is fully equipped with everything to make life comfortable-restaurant, reception room, and lounge, library and writing room, and other services, including medical care of the seamen. The speakers included Mayor La Guardia, who paid a tribute to Furuseth for having "won almost singlehanded reforms for the seamen long overdue," and Harry Collins, representing the Seafarers' International Union, who said he was "glad to see that at last the merchant seamen are coming into their own."
