VARIETY OF CLASSES
NEEDED IN BIG TASK
Men Skilled in Every Kind of
Mechanical Work Have Part
to Perform in Building a
Ship,
tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wtsrI


Washington. Sept. 1.-shipbuilding,
the many sided task in which much of
Americas mechanical genius is today
engaged as a part of the war program,
requires mechanics skilled in more
than thirty trades, besides an army of
unskilled workers
With a gigantic building program
ahead, vast force is employed along
in this phase of war work. Today 300,-
900 me mare at work in the shipyards,
with 25o.00O engaged in trades that
provide material for the shipbuilders
Here are the skilled workers who
are doing the work on the steel ship:
Shipfitters, blacksmiths, rivetters,
shippers and calkers, drillers, plumb
ers, pipeftters. machinists. joiners
carpenters, pattern makers, foundry
men, coppersmiths, heavy forgers,
steel metal workers. furnace men,
shearers, punchers, ang,esmiths, ship
wrights. riggers, Hangers, drop forg-
ers, erectors, bolters-upers erectors,
bolters-up, crane operators, locomo-
tive engineers, firemen, loftmen,
painters and helpers in all these
trades
Sixty per cent of the work on a ship
is in constructing the hull. and the
remaining 40 per, cent is installing mo-
chanical parts, deck furnishings and
other equipment that goes to make
the finished vessel
Obviously, it is almost impossible to
single out one craft that is the most
important All contribute in making
the finished product and without any
one no complete ship could result.
Loftsmen. however play a great part.
Moultls First Made.
Ship plans are made in a drafting
room on small scale to the mould
loft--a large building with smooth
floor OF sufficient size to have drawn
upon it the plans of the ship to full
size-the loftsmen fashion the tenn
plates or moulds of light wood or pa
per from which the steel for the hull
can he laid off and marked for shear
ing. punching, planning and other op-
erations.
The moulds are made from three
plans. showing the lines of vessel are
the sheer plan or side elevation, the
half breadth plan and the body plan
or end elevation. The body plan is
most used in making the moulds, for
It shows better the shape of each
frame, beam and floor plate. The
moulds must be absolutely correct
SO that they will join together prop
erly
The shipfitter is probably the one
metal-worker whose trade may be
termed purely a shipbuilding trade.
He marks off the steel material for
the parts of the vessels hull, by fit
ting the loftmans mould over the
steel. Drillers also play big part in

They are necessary because of the
rivet holes being punched in shop do
not always coincide despite careful
workmanship. IN some cases also
holes he drilled on the ship. The un-
evenncss between holes is removed by
reamirg, which is merely a slight en-
largcment.
IIiVcttcrs' Work Spectacular.
Rivetters do perhaps the most spec
tacular work, the rat-a- tat-tat of their
pneumatic tools having a fascination
reminiscent of the anvil Of the village
blacksmith. Rivetting holds the ship
together, and ships plans specify
every rivet, for each has certain
function. Clippers and calkers trim
off smooth the edges of plates. decks,
masts, spars and hooms. other ship
woodwork is Done hy ioiners.
Ventilation piping and light metal
work is done largely in shop by sheet
metal worlee plIlubing and piping
also Is done IN shop by plumbers, ma
chinists and pipefitters.
Shop work on the hull proper is
done by workmen operating shears,
punches. bending rolls, planers and
other machines and the frame bend
ers acetylene burners, furnace men
and angle-smiths, who perform the
preparatory work to the erection Of
plates, brackets, clips, beams, bulk
heads and parts required for the hull
Of a ship.

You know the nature of this war.
1t is a war which industry must sus-
tain. The army of laborers at home
is as important as essential, as the
army of fighting men in the fields of
battle. And the laborer is not only
needed as much as the soldier. 1t is
his war. The soldier is his champion
and representative. To fail to win
would be oimperi everything that
the laborer has striven for and held
dear since freedom first had its dawn
and his struggle for justice began.
The soldiers at the front know this II

They are crusaders. They are fighting
for no selfish advantage for their own
nation. They would despise anyone
who fought for the selfish advantage
of any patton They are giving their
lives that homes everywhere, as well
as the homes they love in America
may be kept safe and sacred, and
men everywhere be fres. They are
fighting for the ideals of their own
land-great ideals, immortal ideals,
ideals which shall light the way for all
men to the places where justice is
done and men live with lifted heads,
and emancipated spirits. That is the
reason they fight with solemn joy and
are invincible.
Day of Fresh Comprehension.
Let us make this, therefore, day
of fresh comprehension not only OF
what we are about, and of renewed
and clear eyed resolution, but a day of
conservation also, in which we de-

cans are addressed as fellow enlisted
men of a single army. of many parts
but commanded by single obligation,
in President Wilson'S Labor day mes
sage At first the president says. this
hardly seemed more than a war of de-
fense against military aggression now
it is clear that ii is more than a war
to alter the balance of power of Eu-
rope, that Germany was striking at
what free men everywhere desire and
must have, the right to determine
their own fortunes. Labor day, 1918,
therefore, is supremely significant, he
says.
The presidents message follows:
My Fellow Citizens
Labor day, 1918, is not like any La
Dor day that we have known. Labor day
was always deeply significant 10 us.
Now it is supremely significant. Keen
ly as we were a year ago of the enter
prise Of life and death upon which
the nation had embarked, we did not
perceive its meaning as clearly as we
do now We knew that we were all
partners and must stand and strive to-
gether, but we did not realize as we do
now that we are all enlisted men,
members of single army, or many
parts and many tasks but commanded
by a single obligation, our faces set
toward a single object We now know
that every tool in every essential in
dustry Is weapon, and weapon
welded for the same purpose that an
army rifle Is wielded-a weapon which
we were to lay down no rifle would
be of any use.
Why Are We Enlisted?
And a weapon for what? What is
the war for? Why are we enlisted
Why should we he ashamed if We were
not enlisted? At first it seemed hard
ly more than war of defense against
the military aggression of Germany.
Belgium had been violated, France in
vaded, and Germany was afield again,
as in 1870 and in 1866, to work out
her ambitions in Europe and it was
necessary to meet her force with force.
But it is clear now that it is much
more than war to alter the balance
of power in Europe. Germany, it is
now plain, was striking at what free
men everywhere desire an dmust have
the right to determine their own
fortunes, to insist upon justice, and
to oblige governments to act for them
and not for the private and selfish in

Vast Supplies Handled.

II Is the same with the handling of
the immense stocks Of war supplies
as II is with the handling OF troops
Six months ago it was estimated that
5000 tons a month could be handled.
Actually more than that is handled
daily, and this is not the main port for
supplies, as it is for men.
A large measure of credit for the
high record in debarking troops is Civ
en- by the general to tho officer In
charge of the several thousand negro
stevedores. This officer has had a re-
markable career which exactly equips
him for the p"esent huge undertaking
He was a Liverpool docker. who went
to the United States with the Cunard
company, and worked up to the posi-
ton of terminal superintendent at
Boston. As an expert and master OF
docking he was appointed q major In
the army But he forgets all about
being a major when he takes COM
mand of these 1000 black stevedores
and a great ocean steamer heaves into
sight with thousands of men aboard
who must be landed on record time.
All of the old spirit of the Liver
pool docker comes back again. he
becomes human dynamo. and the
army of black stevedores follow him
with the same eagerness that men fol-
low their leader "over the top" Here
are some examples showing just what
this means:
When the greatest of American
transports first came over it took
fifty two days to unload her at Liver
pool The next trip was better--twen-
ty-eight days. Then on the third trip
il was decided to send her to this
| French port where the Americans had
begun to take things over. II was d
risky experiment. they thought. But
they failed to reckon the major and
his black stevedores, for this is the re-
markable record Of how the great ves-
sci has been handled at this port;
First arrival. 10000 men and sup
plies were unloaded and the ship
coaled and sent bac kin four days.
Second arrival. unloaded. coaied and
sent back in three days,
Third arrival, unloaded, coaled and
sent back in forty-eight hours.
Fourth arrival unloaded, coal and
sent back in forty hours.
The magnitude of such an accom-"
plshment may be judged by the fact
that 5000 tons of coal has to be put
on the huge transport to send her
! back, and all of this must be loaded
| from lighters, as her forty-one feet of
| draught keeps her far out in the har-
Dor. And all this in forty-eight hours
besides debarking 10000 troops ON
| lighters and several thousand tons OF
| steel and emergency war cargo.
Americans seems to have discovered
| for the first time that this port Is
nearer New York than any of tho
! great ports, and is thus on the great
commercial highroad from the west to
| continental Europe. This holds out d
brilliant future for the port in the at
ter the war commercial renaissance
