THE SEAMEN'S NEW SECRETARY. CAPT. W. J. DAVIES, OF SWANSEA.
A Romantic Career- Commenced As Stowaway In A Barque.
From Our Own Correspondent.- LONDON, Wednesday.
Capt. W. J. DAVIES, of Swansea, has been appointed general secretary of the
National Union of Seamen, in succession to Mr. Ermund CATHERY, who has retired
after thirty-five years' service, having reached the age limit.
Capt. W. J. DAVIES has been appointed on the result of a ballot which has been
in progress for three months, in order to enable a large number of men as
possible to record their votes.
The candidates were Capt. W. J. DAVIES and Mr. George JACKSON, of Newport, and
the result of the ballot was as follows:-
W. J. DAVIES........... 11,556.
George JACKSON...... 1,736
Majority.................. 9,820
There were three spoiled votes.
The new secretary, who takes up his post at the beginning of the New Year, is
well-known in the Trade Union world. He was for many years president of the
Bristol Channel Pilots Association and is one of the trustees of the Seamen's
Union. He is known in South Wales as a capable organiser and public speaker and
is au fait with all important questions affecting shipping.
A native of Swansea, he began his career as a stowaway in a barque from his
native port, and from an ordinary seaman worked his to the point when he could
obtain the highest credentials granted to men to the Mercantile Marine.
His only son is also an officer of the Mercantile Marine.
Capt. DAVIES has at all times exhibited tact and diplomacy in labour disputes
and negotiations in which he has taken part, and his appointment will be
popular.
Mr. George JACKSON, who has been a member of the Union for 25 years, recently
retired from the position of secretary of the Newport Branch in consequence of
having reached the age limit. This, how-ever, did not preclude him going forward
as a candidate for the general secretaryship as he had not reached the age limit
for that position.
