variably he quits. Hardly ever
anyone is fired and whether fired
or quitting, unless he joins the
colors, is given a dishonorable dis
charge. Men are constantly leav-
ing their work and joining either
the Merchant Marine or Navy, so
that there is a constant drain on
the available labor.
Glenn has enlisted in the Mer-
chant Marine and may be called
at anytime and again it may be
far off, all depending upon the
number of ships turned out. Re-
ferring again to the wages, there
is plenty of opportunity for over
time at increased pay. A man
drawing 40c an hour on his regu-
lar shift gets 60c for the overtime,
etc. But it keeps a great many
busy after regular shift to spend
what they made during the day,
and therein lies one of the gravest
problems and weaknesses of the
vast army of industrial workers of
our country they simply can't
stand prosperity. Wages are high
er in Seattle yards than at Brem-
erton, and chances for promotion
are much better, because nearly
every plant had to build its or
ganization from the ground up,
whereas at Bremerton, where they
have always had working force
the responsible positions are large
ly filled by the former employees.
But for protection from accident
or foul play the Bremerton yards
are far ahead of Seattle yards.

What is needed in the ship
yards is skilled labor and me
chanics. Book-keepers and clerks
are abundant and their wages are
little more than in other lines Of
employment. When on the ground
there, one realizes that the cry fol
ships, ships, is not in vain. And
they are coming-perhaps a little
