Twenty-two plants have sent men
for training as yard instructors. Two
hundred and sixteen OF these men have
completed their training and seventy
four arc now In training.
In addition TO the tra.i..ng center
established in Newport News there are
now several others established: at Hog
Island, at Chester. Pa. at the subma-
rine yard at Newark. y. j.. and two
special centers for the training Of
electric wclders at Schenectady, y. Y.
and at New York City
SO far thirteen yards have put in
training departments. Que yard in
structor can train about $50 men each
year. The period OF training for a
green man varies from two 70 eight
weeks. One yard has already trained
enough yard instructors in the train
ing centers to turn out weekly 800
skilled mechanics within the yard.
In addition TO the training OF green
men. there exists the problem of taxi
ing men who are already skilled in al
lied trades. but have never worked in
stipyards, and making them into ship
builders This Is called a trade con-
version course and consists OF deternin-
ing the supplementary work a skilled
mechanic from the allied trades must
have in order to give him the necessary
! knowledge to do shipbuilding work
Special instructors are employed in a
number OF plants TO meet this situa-
ton.
By training forcmen and managers
the Shipping Board has been able to
| develop in year the building Of
| wooden ships which had been long
lost art and workmcn in many yards
have increased in efficiency more than
IS per cent. where We have efficient
crs." Chairman Hurley declared to-day
You can't expect TO have efficient
workmen in an incfficiently managed
shipyard nor can YOU expcc. good re-
suits. Our shipyard workers gencr-
ally arc as fne a body OF mon as Is
engaged in any industry in thi, coun-
try. They are patriotic industrious
group. and while In many yards they
are not as efficient as We would like
to have them they are learning daily
and arc increasing their output. When
the history of our shipbuilding pro-
gram is written. the American work
