This pay increase has not been dis
tributed before because of a vast amount
of work in going over the timebooks
and figuring how much was due each
workman was required.
The task was completed about the
middle of last week and today was
selected as the time for distribution.
with pay checks given out today the
men will receive cards asking that as
much Of the money as possible be in

erty Bonds. As the employees of the
shipyards have purchased record
amount Of the stamps in the last nine
