~NrIL a year ago, shipbuilding, the

women in blue jeans, or leather armor and
masks, toll side by side with men in both
commercial and Navy yards. They've made
the grade as welders. acetylene-flame cut
tiers, crane operators, shiphtters, truck
drivers.
These $1,000 are just pioneers. BY the
end of 1o43, no less than $50 900 of the for
merly weaker" sex will be among the mil
lion and a half workers called for by the
nations shipyards. And eventually, marine
engineers believe, about Is per cent OF all
shipbuilding may be done by women.
Less than one-half of one per cent OF the
women have had any previous experience In
the work they are doing. Before the war
they were housewives, office workers, sales
girls, beauticians, university graduates.

Hobbs Bill AnSuer
Sent By Compton

The Legislative Committees of
the Central Labor Council and the
Industrial Union Council of New
Haven were meeting this Thursday
evening to consider the possibilities
of holding a conference of repre-
sentatives of all labor unions i'm the
Third Congressional District for
the purpose of planning effective
action ON legislation concerning
organized labor.
The proposed conference would en-
deavor to devise ways and means Of
blocking the passage of anti-labor laws
in Washington and Hartford On the
positive side, it would seek the great
est possible support of organized labor
for Pres. Roosevelt in his win-the- war
measures.
The Committees last week jointly
sent kilograms to Congressman
Ranulf Compton and B. ]. Monkie-
wicz, asking them to come to New
Haven to discuss their views on the
Hobbs so-called ssanti-rackefeering''
bill. Replies have been received
from the national representatives.
Monkiewicz stated that he was will
ing to meet with the committees. A
date will be arranged in the future.
Rep. Compton, however, stated that
he would be unable to meet with or
gained labor, but suggested that a
committee might meet with him ir
Washington.
The telegram sent to Compton stated
that it noted he had expressed his in
tention of supporting the Hobbs Bill
Compton replied feelingly that he had
never committed himself irrevocably
to vote in favor of the Bill.
