Des iMoines, Jan. 17.-"Advisc men
go stay put until they are sure that
they have submitted sufficient informa-
ton and been passed as to their quail
fcations before they leave for the
Pacific coast"
This Is the advice Of F. A. Silcox,
district manager Of the war emergency
employment service stationed at
Seattle, Wash, as conveyed in a let
ter to Secretary H. J. Metcalf, of the
Iowa state defense council and state
director of the United States public
service reserve The Seattle district
manager further says that there IS al
ready available locally in the Puget
Sound district supply OF craftsmen
in the building trades, such as. house
Carpenters, painters, plumbers. cleo
tricians and the like. There is also
plentiful supply Of unskllel labor
THE need is for skilled workers who
are used to handling Steel" writes Mr..
SilcoX. "Thesc are machinistS, boiler
makers, sheet metal workers, rivetcrs
and the like. In the wooden ship build
ing work there is 4 strong demand for
snlpWriSntS ana CaulNcrS.
mo one should come to the coast
with the idea of securing employment
in the ship yards without first making
application to the nearest federal en-
ployment office" warns Mr.. Silcox
"The manager will then advise this
office, furnishing complies information
as to age, nationality whether married
or single, specific trade, years Of eX-
perience and what work actually per-
formed by years. Also what business
now engaged in and whether union OF
,non- union"
On Union Shop Basis.
Mr.. Silcox explains that practically
all of the ship building industry Of the
Puget Sound district is on a union
shop basis and it will be necessary for
most of the men to be members of their
crafts organization in the locality OF
their home or to signify their wiling
ness to become members. He adds
that this will simplify matters greatly
in their absorption into the plans
here"
He states that the cost Of living in
Guiding rents and staple articles. is
about the Same as in other parts OF
the country. There are approximately
fifty ship building concerns in the state
of Washington. he says, and it is the
plan to greatly increase the working
forces in these ship yards.
The wages paid are approximately
as follows. eight hours constituting a
days work: Sheet metal workers, Sc;
Asnarine pipefitters. 1925; boilermakers
@and iron shipbuilding shipwrights, S.;
s6OppA rsmiths, Sc; anglesmiths. s5.25;
moulders, $5.25; machinists, $5.25;

departmental activity must be main
tanned, and while all departments are
calling for extra allowances, there must
be some compromise. AS has been re-
peatedly asked, where is all the money
coming from with which to meet the
allowances already made or yet to be
made?
Most Of the general legislative work
is said to be out of the way, with the
exception Of the school code, and road
legislation which might be carried
along with the revenue and major op-
preparation measures which are still to
be disposed Of. All Of the big institu-
