A lot OF us have been wondering why
we don't get ships and things like that
produced lot faster. The case Of the
wood caulk@r, provided part Of the an
SWeT.
The labor union to which they belong.
YOU see. has ruled that a wood caulker
who caulkS l50 feet of ships deck or
100 feet of ships hull has done eight
houls work, and no more should be eN-
pected of him The labor union has made
il official by writing it into the union>
contract with the shipyardS.
In eight. hours. the two Oakland cauIk-
ers cauIked $50 feet of hull and 375 feet
Of deck each They did Il on Saturday,
when the union contract calls for double
pay, because Saturday is supposed to be
a holiday.
Had the men been paid on the basis of
eight hours, without any other consider
alton. and had il been not a holiday. they
would have received $40 each Had they
been paid on the basis Of straight eight
hours. hat with double time because It
was Saturday, they would have received
$40 each.
But that's not the Way the union fig
ureS.
Since the men caulked the footage they
did. and since 100 deck feet and 80 out
side feet is eight hours work. according
to tire union, the men must have worked
Ga hours. or eight working days apiece.
That they actually did the job in eight
working hours is not matter to be CON
sidered. according to the union rules.
SO the mon sent in bills for $l60 each.
And w wonder why production i SLOW,

School Collections
Forging Ahead

Well on the way toward the third
million pounds Of paper, cardboard
and magazines, students psrticipat-
ing in The Evening Star-P. T. A
Salvage for Victory program started
on their 18th week Of helping the
national defense effort Beyond the
1000 .00o- pound mark at the end of
last week. IL is possible that the next
quarter million will be reached dur
ins the collections Wednesday.
The ggs-Montgomery School,
which carried on rather indifferently
during the first three months OF the
campaign, was brought to fun
realization Of the vital need for the
paper during March and as q result
the school has marked up an excel
lent record since that time. The
last five collections have been aver
aging better than two tons. Starting
with S.2l2, the student have turned
in successive collections OF 4.528,
4,ol7. $685. and S,7so pounds, The
March collections netted the school
Sss 20.
The following letter has been re-
ceived from the principal, Mrs Ruth
c. Savoy:
We were very pleased 10 receive
the checks for waste paper which
the pupils of the Briggs Montgomery
School collected. We sincerely
thank you and the entire personnel
Of The Evening Star for making 1t
possible for us to earn this amount
Of money.
we have not yet decided just
how we shall use the money. We
are considering a radio for our
auditorium and tables and chairs for
our lunchroom. Our school Ia IN
need OF both.
The check for March was pre-
sented 10 the pupils OF the inter
mediate grades In assembly on
Monday and they were surprised.
You see we had stressed the patriotic
value of the activity. what conservs-
ton means TO the Government, what
salvaged paper is used for, how col
lecting waste paper viii help us
win the war, etc, 50 some Of the
pupils we're surprised to know that
we could earn such an amount OF
money while helping our country.
I'VE are proud Of our achievement
and are inspired to go forth with
renewed enthusiasm to help in this
worthy cause. Again we thank you
and The Evening Star for providing
this opportunity"

The hundreds were landed here on
a boisterous spring day and marched
from their gray prison ship through
lines of soldiers armed with bay
oneted guns and tommy guns to a
heavily guarded train. On the sea
side OF the ship lay a naval launch
with her Lewis guns stripped for
action.
The prisoners were less cocky than
previous arrivals. most Of them
ploddins along with heads bowed.
One naval prisoner was trouble

Saves Canadian n Rsprimand.
A bearded NsZi, however, saved q
Canadian soldier from reprimand
by tipping him off on the approach
OF an oficer in time to discard
forbidden cigarette and come up
with o snappy salute,
The guards told OF one prisoner
who still might be in Germany but
for playing his luck too far. Their
story was thst the airman had made
100 trips over England and finally
won q home front aviation instruc-
tor job; but he wanted to bring his
number of raids up to 10 and that
time an Allied fighter downed him
The Canadian soldier guards
watched the prisoners in complete
silence,
