are identical with those of the
vast majority CT the men and wo-
men who work for the Navy. and
that the Navy and its employees are

cooperation between those respon-
sible for the operation of the Navy

I'VE arc convinced beyond any
doubt that the great majority of
workers in our Navy Yards.
Ordnance Plants, and other in

the Navy, are Just as interested in
production and in progress in all
directions toward, winning this
war, as are those Of us in charge
of the operations Of the Navy in

sizes, and no inequities which can
not be solved by management and
production workers cf the Navy
