The, pay il large, the money ready

laid for q gigantic increase in new
tonnage, and the success of the war
has settled down to matter of
ships. The ship building program
contemplates the building OF SIX
MILLION TONS ANNUALLY, but
unless the skilled men are found to
do the work. this program cannot
be carried out. The shipping board
has the money, the yards, the ma

skilled men. Uncle Sam wants ef-

of men who can to respond. The fu-

bodies, formally notifying them a
general strike of walters and cooks
was inevitable and placing the blame

declined to deal with Representative
