SHIPBUILDERS NOT GIVING
NAMES HERE FAST ENOUGH

Shipbuilders and other craftsmen
are not registering with city clerk
Jack Dawson as fast as they should,
and FL Paso is falling behind in the
quota OF registered men who are will
ing to assist the government IL nee
essary, he said Wednesday.
1t is believed the men are not reg
istering faster because they do not
understand they need not go TO work
at once in one OF the government 5
yards. Mr.. Dawson said- When a
man is notified OF an opportunity to
serve the government as a shipbuild-
er, or at any Of the other trades that
the government is registering men
for. he is told what the salary is,
where the work is, working condi-
tions, cost of transportation and
whatever other information that is
necessary and then the decision
whether he win go to work or not is
absolutely voluntary"
