Dear Sir Walter,
SPANISH SEAMEN.
I have to refer to Mr. Tewson's letter of the 29th ultimo which was brought before my Executive Council at their meeting
held last week.
As a result I am to state that the Council agreed that the Union's quota of the additional grant of £1,000 should be met, and accordingly you will be receiving from our Financial Secretary in due course a cheque for the amount involved, namely £280.
In conveying this decision to you, I am to express the hope on behalf of my Executive Council that there will be no occasion for any further financial calls in respect of this particular case.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur Deakin
ACTING GENERAL SECRETARY
