er. are taken out of the instruction
class after a week and placed with
jcurneymeh crews. While they are
being instructed they receive IL
hours pay for 10 hours work at the
rate of 35 cents an hour. When they
have qualified, their wages immedi.
ate'y advance. so that men who be-
fore were earning SIS or $50 a week
in their own occupations are now max
ing $40, $50 and $50.
Their earning capacity depends up.
on their ability and the amount of
time they put in. Many, in order to
swell their pay envelopes, toll longer
than the required 10 hours, and thus
frequently receive as high as SIS a
week.
The men find the employment con.
genial and fascinating, whether they
are joiners, carpenters. riveters, sea.
mers or otherwise engaged in helping
to turn. out ships for the government
Approximately $4,000 employees are
on the payroll at Hog Island. They
are not all men and boys. There is
a representative number of women
whose duties. however. are confined

Just how large the total OF weekly
payments to the workers is has mo-
