This is not call for men to 90 to |
the shipyards now. The figures given |
OF the men needed are the REQUIRED
men's of the next few months. Great
confusion and hardship have resu tied
from the rush OF men to jobs where
they are not yet needed. This reserve
enables man to stick to his lob un-
til he is authOritativeIy informed bv
the Department of Labor that he is
needed in the shipyards.
The need is urgent-every nail driv-
en- and every rivet set today is blow
at the Kaiser. Every ship turned out
now brings nearer the victory of de-
mocracy. Each man you enroll now
me ns more nails driven, more rivets
set and more ships built.
Yours very truly,
w. S. CLIFFORD,
Director.
