The regulations governing landmarks and landmark districts are found in Article 10 of the Planning Code. The HPC is staffed by the San Francisco Planning Department. This draft Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the initiation and designation process. Only language contained within the Article 10 designation ordinance, adopted by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, should be regarded as final. 2 Sailors’ Union of the Pacific 450 Harrison Street Built: 1950 Architect: William Gladstone Merchant OVERVIEW The Sailors’ Union of the Pacific building at 450 Harrison Street derives its significance through its association with the maritime union that bears its name. The building has served as the headquarters for the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific (SUP) since it was first constructed in 1950. The SUP is the oldest maritime union in the United States, having originated in San Francisco in 1885. SUP had a major impact on the shipping industry and helped to secure the rights of merchants and sailors all along the West Coast.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

  • Workers' Contracts Under the United States Arbitration
    "Workers' Contracts" Under The United States Arbitration Act: An Essay in Historical Clarification Matthew W. Finkint The United States Arbitration Act exempts "contracts of employment of seamen, railroademployees, or any other class of workers engaged in for- eign or interstatecommerce." The prevailingjudicial view holds the provi- sion to exempt only transportation workers. Professor Finkin argues that this view proceeds from a total want of appreciationfor the circumstances surrounding the exemption's submission and passage. He argues that once the historical context is understood, the Act should be given its plain mean- ing-as an exemption of all contracts of employment over which Congress has interstate commerce power. I. THE HISTORY OF THE EXEMPTION ............................ 283 II. THE INTERPRETIVE MUDDLE ................................. 289 III. CONCLUSION ................................................. 298 The decision of the United States Supreme Court in Gilmer v.

MARITIME UNlONS & U.S. SHIPPING POLICY by JON LUCAS SUBMITTED IN PARTlAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MARINE AFFAIRS UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1979 ii ABSTRACT This paper explores the role played by U.S. maritime unions in influencing the formation of American shipping policy. The thesis of the paper is that maritime unions have exerted great influence on le­ gislators, through lobbying efforts to foster special-interest legis­ lation which benefits union members at the expense of the taxpayer. The research is based on standard works on shipping and maritime labor relations, Hearings of the House and Senate Merchant Marine Com­ mittees, and newspaper and magazine articles which trace the progress of various pieces of maritime legislation. Only the activities of the seagoing unions are discussed, and the paper does not deal with similar activities by longshoremen's unions and other labor organizations in­ directly associated with the maritime industry.
