Merchant Ship Tonnage
Surpdsses Quotes
Before Deudline

Washington, ID. C.--With one month
still to 90, Americas shipyard workers
had surpassed the two-year quota OF
twenty-four million tons of merchant
ships. Vice Chairman Nickery of the
L. S. Maritime Commission, revealed.
On Dec. |, merchant ship deliveries
since Jan. |, 1912 aggregated 25,2S4,-
2S7 tons. Rear Admiral Nickery de
clared. This total included deliveries of
164 ships of Il ,692, 1853 deadweight tons
during November. That tgure-for one
month-eXceedS the production of mer-
chant ships in the entire year of 1911.
This means that America has sue
ceeded i'm keeping its lifeline open to
our troops abroad and those of our
allies. Axis efforts to break down this
bridge of ships by submarine warfare
have been overcome.
Meanwhile, Secretary of the Navy
Knox announced that Navy Yards and
shipyards in November shattered all
previous records in the construction OF
fighting ships. Completing the best
Dor, American Workers turned out
more than 25OOOO displacement tons of
naval craft of all types. Two classes
of combatant ships We're outstanding
aircraft carriers and destroyer es-
cortS, the ones the Navy needs most.
Admiral Vickery said that if it had
been possible to supply the shipyards
with additional material, they could
have turned out an even greater ton
mage. Six vessels a day could have
been just as commonplace as our pres
ent rate of five, if other war industries
hadn't had desperate need of steel too
he claimed.
The admiral declared the actual con
stluction of the worlds greatest mer-
chant marine has been the handiWOrk
of workers recruited from every walk
of life to learn and carry out one OF
the most difficult tasks in history. He
said the extent of their contribution
toward victory may best be viSualizet
by imagining the vessels they hao
built since Pearl HarbOr Steaming il
Il column at mile intervals, forming al
| unbrOken line extending from Maine
| to Scotland or from Dutch Harbor t.
| Tokyo.
The importance of the part the
| Liberties have played in this war,
| Admiral Nickery declared. "can hardly
be OverStated. 1t needs no imagina

| during this past year would have beer

Plane Output Reaches New
Heights With Great
November Coins

Washington, D. C.-Warplane pro-
duction hit new record heights during
November, WPB Chairman Donald
Nelson announced
A total of 5000 fighting planes was
produced, of which $3.50 were imme-
diately transferred to the armed
forces. The balance, awaiting delivery
will be credited to the December totals
The average daily production of
compares with total production of
572 planes during the entire month of
July, 1910. This means that in two
days of November more planes were
turned out then during whole month
three years ago.
Thus, the Government proudly pro-
claims the fact hat airplane produc-
ton is now fifteen times greater than
in July, 1910.
This is the worst news Hitler has
ever faced The destruction of German
cities and military strongholds, one by
one, is made certain by the tremendous
increase in American bomber prOduc-
ton, made possible by American
workers.
In his official report, Mr.. Nelson
said:
although the sustained accomplish
ment of the aircraft industry and its
| workers is almost unbelievable, the in
crease in numbers alone does not tell
the airplanes produced in July 1910
were trainer types, whereas last
months output was composed in large
proportion of combat types, of which
over 1000 were 4-engined bOmberS
The average weight of each airplane
produced in November was more than
double that of those produced in July
1910. The total weight of airplanes
| Gncludng spare partS) produced in
July 1910 was only 100000 pounds
this true measure of production effort
rose to 81 100000 pounds in November
1943. This represents an increase OF
80 fold in this 3-1/3 year period. An
other measure of progress is sustained
acceleration. During the expansion
period, mOntI-tO-month increase in
weight of output hasaveraged 9.4 pei
cent.
Satisfying as this record for No
vember is" Mr.. Nelson said, ''emphaSis
must still be placed on need by the
Services of even greater numbers OF
yet larger planes as not only must Oul
battle losses be made up but we mlls
continuously add to our striking power
and push home the telling blows now
being dealt the enemy"

They are far smaller indeed than
our immediate demands for Labor" he
added. But they must be made in the
right places Cutbacks in production
must take into account war manpOWel
classification of labor market areas.
Mr. McNutt said that when cutbacks
were properly administered they pre-
sented an opportunity, As an example
he cited the case of Il Lowell cutback
where released ordnance workers were
promptly placed in Il bearing plant in
Connecticut He also told of Il Wash
intOn Pa, cutback where the workers
were signed for other jobs before the
cutbacks became effective.
An intensive campaign is under way
he said, to recruit off if-seasOnal farm
workers for essential work in non
agricultural fields.

War Production Over The Top!

Yes, only two years after
Pearl Harbor, America has won
the battle of production. The
American Federation of Labor
congratulates the workers of
America whose hard and sus-
tanned toll has helped to win this
battle which is the key to ulti-
mate victory.
We believe such congratula-
tions are in order from the War
Department, the Navy Depart
ment, the War Production
Board, the Maritime Commits
sion and all other Government
agencies concerned.
But more than these official
thanks, we think recognition of
the high order Of service rem
dered by labor to the war effort
is due from the press, from the
radio and from the public itself.
We say this because kind
words work wonders and labor
has received few kind words
thus far. We urge this because
times are going to get tougher.
Yes, unquestionably the going
is bound to become more diff
cult in the months ahead. In
England they are worried about
"war WEAKNESS" A similar psy-
Geological state may soon de-
velop in this country, especially
when there are no new produc-
ton goals to break and we enter
a period of deliberately reduced
production activity.
That stage already has beer
reached with regard to war con.
struction. Production of armor.
ed vehicles and Of ammunition
also is being cut back because
we can't use as much as we car
produce. At this point, planes
and ships are the only majol
categories in which production
has not yet reached the ultimate
height. g.
SO, to keep up spirits and mo-
rale when the work drops off
when contracts are being can.
celled and when layoffs and un
employment begin, we say this
is the time to let the workers OF
America know that we appre
ciate the grand job they have
done and will continue to do.

TRANSPORTATION DOES

MANPOWER SHORTAGES

Washington, -. e. ULNS).-DeSpite
pOrtatiOn industries are successfully
carrying more passengers and freight
than ever before and no movement has
been held up solely because of made
uuate manpOwer. the ODT'S Division
of Transport Personnel has reported to
the Truman committee. But the trans
portation industry faces Il serious man
power problem, especially in mainten-
ance and repairs, it added.
Workers in the for-hire tranSporta-
lion field increased by 100000 between
July, loll and July, 1913, making the
total employed now almost : million,
the ODT reported. More than half the
4OOOOO workers added have gone into
the railroad industry. Another $1,000
will bc needed before July, 1914 to
meet expected increases in traffic loads,
and this figure may be increased by
turnover. These additional workers
will be harder to obtain, the ODT EN-
phaSZed.
Other manpOWrr facts contained in
the report were: average weekly hours
