(2) Both Jo Anne E. Argersinger and Bruce Nelson have recently written on the
Baltimore seamen's movement of 1934 as part of larger studies: Argersinger in
"Assisting the 'Loafers': Transient Relief in Baltimore, 1933-1937," Labor History,
23 (Spring 1982), 237-245, and in Toward a New Deal in Baltimore; People and
Government in the Great Depression (Chapel Hill: 1988), 122-124; Nelson in Workers
on the Waterfront: Seamen, Longshoremen, and Unionism in the 1930s (Urbana:
1988), 96-100. I am indebted to their work and to both of them personally for many
insights and much guidance. Additionally, I am grateful to Nelson for giving me
access to his oral history interview with Bill Bailey. Argersinger*s accounts examine
me Baltimore seamen's movement in its relationship to public policy; Nelson,
contrastingly, studies it as a social movement My account here is, in approach and
interpretation, closer to Nelson's.
