the ability of other labor to obtain
 steady employment. If a group of
 sflipyard workers tie up the shipyards
 or fail to give a full days work, not
 only will the resulting Stoppage of each
 mans work throw them out of employ
 ment, but this stoppage also will af. feet the employment of the 6,200,000 war workers as well as the employ ment of the entire 13,000,000 workers throughout the country.
 Because of this fact, the labor lead- CTS of the country including Samuel Gompers, president of the American l Federation of Labor, have entered into ! an agreement with the navy depart ment,s the shipping board and the emergency fleet corporation agree
 ment which has been kept with scrup ulous care by it's signers and enforced by board, the very personnel of which insures fairness.
 q wish, therefore, now that the president has personally taken action in the carpenters strike, to point out to employees and to the members of
 organized labor throughout the coun- try that their own interests are vital ly at stake ill this shipping matter,
 and that the whole force of their mighty influence must for their own protection be used to keep the ship yards running full time and block any attempt to paralyze the nations busi- ness through strikes and trust the
 labor adjustment board to deal fairly
 with them.
 "This war can be won through the construction this year of 9,800,000 tons l, of shipping by the United States and !, the allies This amount will not only overcome the submarine but also will , leave a margin necessary to transport
 and care for 1,580,060 American troops There is but one thing ahead-a forced showdown in American factories il until the ships are built. Not only are . ports and docks now damned with supplies for overseas, but there are ! also in, Atlantic coast terminals alone ] more than 30,000' cars loaded with sup
 plies for Europe. No greater surplus , of supplies can possibly be permitted
 to accumulate even though the esti- , mated amount of war supplies needed this year for overseas shipment will l total 8,50o,000 tons."
