Liberty Bonds and War Saw

Idle Workers

One of the reasons the striking
shipyard workers in seven plants
around San Francisco bay have been
able to hold out for their demand of
eight cents an hour increase is that
collectively they own more than ST.
100000 worth of Liberty Bonds and
about 100000 in War Savings
Stamps. "The Liberty Bond and War
Savings Stamps holdings of our men
have certainly stood us in good
stead," said Frank Miller, secretary
of the San Francisco Iron Trades
Council. when we win our demand
I am going to recommend that the
men save that eight cent an hour in
crease and invest it weekly with the
Government in War Savings Stamps.
They provide an ideal way for the
workingman to save"
C. A. Farnsworth, associate direc-
tor Of the War Loan Organization for
the Twelfth Federal Reserve District,
said: Secretary Millers figures on
the Liberty Bond holdings and their
investment in War Savings are con-
servative and there is no doubt that
they have aided greatly in enabling
the men to support themselves while
On strike. The men can borrow the
face value Of their Liberty Bonds
without sacrificing the bonds and
they can cash in their War Savings
Stamps"

Stamp is the working mans weapon

,Senator Fletcher is a staunch be-
fever in carrying American goods in

the following resolutions into the
Senate:
"That in the judgment of the Sen
ate it is not advisable for the United
States Shipping Board to sell at this
time any of the merchant ships Of the
government to foreign interests, un-
less it be such as cannot be success
fully employed here. That efficient
merchant vessels of the government
should not be sold at all at this time,
except such ships as are undesirable
for overseas trade and will bring ap-
preaching their actual cost or more,
and then only with view of replac-
ing them with better ships in order
to properly balance the fleet"
"These resolutions" Senator Flet-
cher said, "speak for themselves. We
have gone to great expense in con-
structing the ships and though we
may not need them so much as when
the war was going on, it rs in my
opinion not good Judgment to sell
them at this time. am against the
plan of disposing of these ships as al
present contemplated, and will use
