All Kinds of Labor Is In- cluded in the Work, Men From All Walks of

San Francisco, Nov. 2 Correspond 4nce of The Associated Press. )-From the shipyards of the Pacific coast a , vessel a day, newly completed to meet the demands of war, sets forth as a cargo carrier in the American emer gency fleet.
 Shipbuilding activities extend from San Pedro in California to the north ernmost limits of the State of Wash ington. Hulls of steel and wood, and some of concreate, many of them turned out in periods which have brok- en worlds speed records, are erected at these plants, and somewhere along this stretch of shore line, virtually every twenty-four hours, a ship takes the water and the keel of another is lid before the wavelets from the hpnching have disappeared.
 Because the Pacific yards from the inauguration of the national ship building project have cid the country ih production, their managers were fmt to predict that the industry would be the greatest since history hs been recorded. They are in posi- ton now to speaw with authority of As fulfillment of their prophecies. l. E. Meachem. secretary of the

1 Meachem and Babcock Shpbuilding I Company of Seattle, said.
 There were employed in the con. st1uction of King SoIomons temple at cording to the Bible, 183,3OO men
 That was the greatest construction undertaken up to modern times. War shlpbuilding is the worlds greaaest industry, because there are more men concentrated on a single purpose than ever before"
 Probably no one could state exactly the number of men employed in the various departments of shipbuilding on the Pacific coast. 1t is a constant ly changing, and constntly increas- ing quantity. For instance, on July l, 1916, 4,2OO men were at work in the Oregon yards. Just one yead later there were Al 300 engaged in the task.
 A month ago there were 5000 men at work in the yards of the Todd Dry dock and Shipbuilding Company at Tacoma. It is expected that within two more months there will be approxi- mately 1O,500 on the pay rolls. The Skinner and Eddy yards at Seattle, Washington, employed 13,500 men a month ago. The rate at which men are being taken on here is in keeping with the increase elsewhere, It is the same story from Southern California to the British Columbia frontier. Mo- where are the figures of today the figures of tomorrow.

By doing cleaning up and other odd jobs, they have released marv ship mechanics and artisans for actual ship work. Many of them come to the yard after leaving their offices for the day, and turn over all their wages to the Red Cross, ronvert them into Liberty bonds or buy war savings stamps.
 Indirectly, their patriotism has been an immense asset to the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Through their as sumption of these odd jobs they have enabled the expert ship workers to es- tablish speed records.

(By James Cardinal GibbOns.)

America, through her soldiers in France, has voiced the spirit that leads to victory. They are our sons and brothers; flesh of our flesh, and the spirit that inpsires them inspires us also. We have sent them across the sea to fight-but we have in heart and in soul gone with them. We are determined that they should know that the people at home are fighting with them, standing with them, shoulder to shoulder. America in this war has done what no other na- tion ever did She has carried the presence, the atmosphere of home into the camps across the seas, that everywhere the soldier may realize there are fatherly hands to help him, motherly hands to console him, friendly hands to entertain him.
 Into this splendid work of sus- taining the morale of our fighting men, of making them realize that we, their loved ones, are ever with them. the great social organizations of America have thrown themselves generously. They are againg about to appeal to American people for the financial support necessary to carry on this work That work is of a single character, as expressed by the secretary of war. the recreational work for the menof our army and navy All these seven organizations now stand upon one platform-that of providing receration. entertain ment and home comfort for our troops From that common platform, all to- gether with one voice, will make a single appeal to the American people

 Enormous as that sum may be. the American people will raise-gener- ously and gladly. When one consider; an army of over 4,000.00o; nav! that musters over 500,000 men in it's; service; the number and size of our camps; the buildings to be erected. the secretaries to be lnaintained tho equipment to be furnished; the visit Ors' houses to be built: the commlln- ity service to be extended into every city and town of the country; the protective work most necessary and vital for all our people. which this war has given to us as our share to maintain, one will see that the sum is none too great for this enormous 4ask. We cannot shirll it. We can not shift it. To attempt to do so would be to prove false to the rae, who are giving their bodies and thci. lives for our national safety.
 It is an American campaign It's appeal is one that no American may refuse, and Americas answer will be another triumphant announcement that we are in this war as one peo- pie and as one nation to sec it through to victory.
 The National Catholic War Coun- cil isone of the seven organizations that have united under the government for the raising of this fund This means that the entire Catholic church of this country is to summon to the service of our country all her resources; to voice again in corpo- rate expression the uneXcelled patri- otism that has ever distinguished her.
