Today in Labor History November 21, 1910: Sailors on board Brazil's warships mutinied in what is now known as the Revolta da Chibata (Revolt of the Lash). The sailors, who were mostly Afro-Brazilian, were protesting the use of whips by white naval officers when punishing them. Nearly half of the 4,000 sailors on these ships participated in the mutiny. Several officers who attempted to resist were killed. The rebels sent a telegraph to the president, reading "We do not want the return of the chibata [lash]. They threatened to destroy the city if the President of the republic and the Minister of the Navy didn’t cede to their demands. And they fired on army forts around Guanabara Bay, and at the naval arsenal and bases on Ilha das Cobras and Villegagnon Island, as well as the presidential palace. Ultimately, the Brazilian government granted an amnesty for the mutineers and the conflict ended without further violence. However, as soon as the mutineers came ashore, the government disarmed the ships, to prevent any further mutinies, and most of the men were discharged from the navy.

Today in Labor History November 9, 1972: Mutiny on the USS Constellation. 132 sailors, mostly African-American, refused to reboard the USS Constellation, in San Diego, during the Vietnam War, in protest of racist practices by the navy. In the year leading up to the mutiny, there had been considerable antiwar organizing targeting this ship. In 1971, two anti-Vietnam War groups, the Concerned Officers Movement and San Diego Nonviolent Action organized a Constellation Vote. With 54,721 votes counted. over 82% of voters elected to keep the ship home, including 73% of the military personnel who voted. The commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet said "never was there such a concerted effort to entice American servicemen from their posts." In late 1971, nine of crew members publicly refused to board the ship, taking sanctuary in a local Catholic church. The Connie 9 were ultimately arrested, but were honorably discharged.

Today in Labor History November 3, 1918: The German Revolution of 1918–19 began when 40,000 sailors took over the port in Kiel, in the wake of the Wilhelmshaven mutiny, a few days earlier. In less than two weeks, it brought down the German empire, forcing all the monarchs to abdicate. They created a republic, led by the moderate Social Democrats, who vowed to implement modest reforms, including women’s suffrage and the eight-hour work day. The far-left socialists, however, wanted to create a republic led by workers’ councils. At the end of the year, violence erupted between the two groups over a dispute about sailors’ pay, killing 67. This led to the Communist Spartacist Uprising, led by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, and the Bavarian Soviet. The Social Democrats enlisted the Freikorps to help them suppress the uprisings against its authority, resulting in another 200 deaths. The Freikorps was composed of right-wing veterans of World War One, many of whom went on to become members of the Nazi Party.

FYI
Wilhelmshaven has a couple of monuments and information points spread over the city to remind everyone of the role the solders and workers had in the revolution 1918 / 1919.

Today in Labor History October 29, 1918: Wilhelmshaven sailors’ mutiny in Germany. Soldiers and workers brought public and military institutions under their control. They demanded the release of the imprisoned, an end to World War I, and the improvement of food provisions. By November 4, Kiel was firmly in the hands of 40,000 rebellious sailors, soldiers and workers, as was Wilhelmshaven two days later. Workers across Germany elected workers' and soldiers' councils modeled after the Soviets of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and took over military and civil powers in many cities. These events triggered the German Revolution of 1918-1919, which ended the German empire and established the Weimar Republic.

Today in Labor History October 19, 1920: Sylvia Pankhurst was arrested for sedition for writing “Discontent on the Lower Deck” in the newspaper “The Workers' Dreadnought.” She was also a leader of the Hands-Off Russia! Campaign and she urged workers not to load ships supplying arms to anti-communist forces. She was sentenced to six months in prison. In her appeal, she said: “I have been in prison; most of the people are there by poverty or drink… Girls are in prison because they tried to commit suicide, because the world was too hard for them. You may put me in prison but you cannot stop the cause, it is stronger than I.”

Plankhurst was a leader of the English women’s suffrage movement. She was also a left (council) communist and follower of Anton Pannekoek. In her “Constitution for British Soviets,” she argued that “Mothers and … organizers of the family life of the community [should] be adequately represented, and … take their due part in the management of society [through] a system of household Soviets…”

Today in Labor History September 15, 1931: Sailors at Invergordon, Scotland, mutinied, causing a panic on the London Stock Exchange and ultimately forcing England off the gold standard. The sailors mutinied primarily over a 25% cut for the rank and file. They sang “The Red Flag” and refused orders. Military control was restored without bloodshed, with the pay-cut reduced to 10%. One of the mutiny leaders later defected to the USSR, where he was imprisoned in the gulags as a British spy. Another mutiny leader later commanded the British Battalion of the antifascist International Brigades, fighting in the Spanish Civil War.
