Historical/Biographical Note
Barney Mayes was an editor of the Voice of the Federation, the press of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, which united all West Coast maritime unions from 1934 to 1937, when the Federation split over a struggle between the anti-communist Sailors Union of the Pacific (led by Harry Lundeberg) and the communist-oriented International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (led by Harry Bridges) over the issue of democracy within the Federation. Mayes was also a staffer for the Meatcutter's union in San Francisco during the last years of his life.
