Dear Jung

Can you furnish me with the addresses of the Secretaries of  
1/ The Iron Founders  
2/ The Ships' Carpenters  
3/ The Ships' Caulkers (if they have a union).

I want these immediately in order to communicate with them on some strike affairs in Portugal – I have applied to the Br. fed. Council but cannot learn that they are taking any steps whatever, & so I must act on my own hook.

Yours truly  
F. Engels
