10000 Will Be Hired This
Coming Year Frey
Tells Delegates

Toronto ULNS). Hundreds OF
thousands of additional workers, in
Guiding many women, will he needed
by shipyards in the near future, the
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor Metal Trades De
partment was told.
The AFL Building and Construction
Trades Department convention heard
criticism of alleged union labor short
comings from Admiral Ben Moreel,
chief of the L. s. Navy's Bureau of
Yards and Docks.
President John p. Frey of the Metal
Trades Department told delegates rep
resenting some 100000 members that
about 100000 shipyard workers would
be urgently needed in the next three or
four months-12O,0OO for new jobs and
100000 to replace those going into the
armed forces
10000 Women Needed
Paul X. Porter, chief of the Stabil-
iZatiOn Branch of the Labor Production
Division, War Production Board, said
that shipyards will need at least 15O,-
600 women workers in the coming year.
They will be paid on the principle
of equal pay for equal work, quality
and quantity considered, he said, which
means that their weekly earnings will
average between $40 and 500 and will
reach $40 in some cases.
Porter estimated that 1000 to 5000
wn ina in hn Il nj
yards on the Pacific Coast and in the
Todd and Federal yards on the Allan
tic Coast. They are employed mostly
at welding and light machine work.
The strike record in ShipyardS is
better than in the first World War
Porter declared.
Number of Strikes Low
Notwithstanding the much greater
present employment in Shipbuilding,
he said, "the number of strikes as re
ported by the Bureau of Labor Statis
tics, has in this war been just 45 il
194l and II in 1942, through August
as against 1O6 in 1917 and 40 il
1918"
Addressing the building trades dele
gates, Admiral Moreel said that he
was not implying that organized labo.
has any exclusive responsibility for the
nations failure to produce the maxi
mum of war implements, but that ht
felt working people had the biggest
stake in the war. Nevertheless, ht
added, labOr's wartime record, I'll
many instances, does not make the
best reading"
MOreel said he was aware that some
employers were INSCRIPTIONS enough tt
provoke strike for selfish reasons
but pleaded with labor to "refuse to bs
melted" The Admiral said that labor
organizations would lose public sup
port if they condoned any work stop
pages and said:
II will admit that no one can livt
without labor, but the people certainl!
can live without labor unions. The!
are living without them in Germany
and Italy and Japan, and they seem t(
be doing right we'll for the moment an(
in my opinion they will damn we'll live

7. N. Dean Urges
Rate Sterilization

st. John, n. Il. (ILNS).-At the con-
venti0n of the Association Of Work
mems Compensation Boards of Canada,
II. n. Dean, actuary of the Ontario
WOrkmen's Compensation Board said :
"The sharing of burdens is a gauge of
civilization, for civilization began when
the savage learned it was better to
help than hinder. Workmen's compen-
satiOn is the way of the free peoples
to meet collective liability. 1t is not Il
policy contract, like insurance, but a
social plan. There IS no relation be-
tween what workman is paid and
what he receives for his injury. Liabil-
dustry under the Canadian WOrkmen's
Compensation acts"
He strongly urged stabilization of
compensation rates, contending the
fewer the rates the better. He opposed
the principle of reducing rate for one
industry and increasing it in another,
arguing that a rate reduction would
give a producer favorable entrance to
the same market in which producer
whose rate has been increased is try
ing to sell. He suggested blanket or
universal rate.
1t was disclosed in an open forum
discussion that the boards in Alberta,
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and New
Brunswick adhere to rates set ut the
outset of each year, while adjustments
are favored during the year by the
boards in Nova Scotia and Ontar rio. Mr..
Dean stated compensation boards s
vital problems are to have sufficient
cash on hand to pay obligations at any
time, and to reasonably allocate the
charges among the employers. He said
the costs of changing rates are often
prohibitive, because of the time spent
on computation and alterations.

washington's ~one-man" Salvage
Committee is contributing his full
time to defense these days.
B. J. Lockhead was zone warden
in the Southwest area, but felt there
was more he should be doing for
civilian defense. The campaign for
salvage, tagging in his area. inter
ssted him, and he arranged TO have
himself appointed assistant deputy
warden in charge of salvage.
The District Salvage Committee,
meanwhile, had found that more
than so per cent of the calls for
collection of salvage from the South
west area were too small to warrant
notifying the charities and junk
dealers that collect only large ac-
cumulationS.
Arranges to Buy Truck.
The problem was then referred TO
Mr. Lockhead.
His first problem was a means Of
collecting materials from homes.
After conferring with defense off,
cials of the area, he formulated
plan for the purchase Of a small
truck, which would pay for itself
with funds realized from the sale
Of salvage.
Since February 4, when Mr.. Lock-
head paid the first installment on
his truck, he has collected over
27 500 pounds of materials, enough
to pay two-thirds of the cost of the
vehicle. When payments are COM
pleted. all funds accumulated, ex-
cept for operating expenses of the
vehicle, will be turned over to the
Southwest Civilian Defense Com
mittee.
Christened Byron James about so

an iron worker on the Memorial
Bridge.
But in all my life I haven't
worked as hard as I am now" the
tall, gray-haired volunteer smiled.
Praised as Best Worker.
Horace Walker, secretary Of the
Salvage Committee, declared that
Mr.. Lockhead "is doing more right
now for District salvage than any
other individual in the District"
The majority of his collections
result from the calls to Mr.. Walkers
office to get small amounts of SAL
wage material. The number of calls
varies from to Is day.
His largest problems are the false
alarms" he encounters.
"On some days." he said, Il may
travel all the way to Alexandria
and find only a basket of trash
absolutely worthless.
But In all cases the attitude of
housewives, from whom most of the
calls come, Is wonderful" They are
all trying to help. If only they all
realized more completely what ma
terials are salvageable."
The living room of the Lockhead
home, 494 G street S.W., has been
converted into an Office, where Mr..
Lockhead keeps files of collection
and funds expended.
Mr.. Lockhead's only co-worker is
his wife, an employe of the Bureau
of Engraving. Often in the eve
ming they travel together in quest
of paper, rags and metal.
Mr.. Lockhead refuses to accept
any credit for the work he is do
ing. His wife feels only that 1--WE

RIGHT FOOD FOR.
GOOD HEALTH.
Your Health and Vitality De-
ponds on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Many foods are made attractive
by garnishes such as parsley, let
tuce, mint, sliced egg, watercress,
green pepper or lemon slices. All
these decorations are good foods,
but many people would no more eat
the lettuce on their plate than they
would the flowers on the table.
Lettuce, particularly the green
garden variety, is valuable food
since it, like all green leaves, is a
good source of vitamins and miner
ais. However, the bleached white
centero iceberg does not rate SO
high.
Parsley is a very rich source of
vitamins. If you eat the sprigs of
parsley on your plate you will be
adding to your days supply of vi
tamins A, c, ribofiavin, and iron.
Lemon juice is equal to orange
juice in vitamin c. Lemon used as
a garnish for fish, prunes, greens
and cold drinks adds to their nu-
tritive value when the juice is
squeezed over the food.
Of all garnishes, eggs are per-
haps most commonly eaten. Sliced
hard cooked eggs on spinach, fol-
example, looks so good that few
people toss the egg aside to eat the
spinach.
Mint whether wild or cultivated
supplies the same kind of foot
value as other greens. Used in colo
drinks or in fruit cups, it adds
health value as well as good looks
Americans have always had such
an abundance of everything that
we have forgotten some of the old
fashioned economies. Clearing your
plate of every bit of food even the
garnisrhes is a good economy to re,
vive aagin in these days.

"the American people can be as
sured that the shipyards will do the
job assigned to them" The state
ment said shipyards delivered 100
new vessels in the first $50 days of
this year, 20 percent more than
were built in all of 1941, and the
production peck has not yet been
reached.
American shipyards are building
merchant vessels faster than ever
before in the history of the world,
the White House said. Cargo ships
are being built in less than one-half
the time originally allotted. 'The
progress made thus far is easing
our shipping problem, but there
will be shortage of ships until
sinkings throughout the world are
brought under better control and
the shipbuiding program gets into
full production" the statement
said.
