greener pastures more pay,
ter working conditions, quicker
transportation, faster advance
ment.
So much shifting around added
TO the organizing problems Of the
shipyards. and in many cases 1t
didn't make things any better for
the shifters. A welder know quit
his job, where he was working six
days a week, to 90 to another
yard where a large part of the
force worked seven days a week.
Most Of the guys who work that
seven-day schedule, incidentally,
don't like it; after six weeks or
couple of months they begin to
lose their bounce, and have to lay
off to recuperate.
HAD HARD LUCK
Well, this welder played in hard
luck. The very next week after
he'd moved, the gang he'd left
went on a seven-day schedule, and
the yard to which he'd just moved
suddenly discontinued practically
all seven-day work, and he didn't
get any.
Shipworkers came in for consid-
cradle criticism for so freely exer-
cising the American working
mans ancient prerogative of
changing employers when he feels
like ii. Granted that lot Of these
voluntary changes were needless;
I'd reckon nevertheless that ship
workers made as few mistakes in
transferring as their sons and
brothers in the army and navy
suffered in being transferred
around on the involuntary basis
that prevails in the armed serv-
ices.
Both kinds of large scale trans
fers are unavoidable, and in the
long run, shipworkers and soldiers
both find themselves in the spot
where they can do their best work.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Q. why don't shipyards here
turn out ships as fast as Kaiser is
doing down the coast ?"
