Show AGAIN the shipyard workers showed their true spirit by taking a half holiday last Saturday. They were not entitled to under their own agreement covering working hours. As has been said before they were given half-holidays during June, July and August, but on September 1 they were to go back to full day Saturdays. Now they demand holiday or overtime. over-time. We believe that they and all others like them will one day get what's due them for their slacker propensities. Soldiers don't begin to get the pay these men do, yet they have to be ready for duty all the time and often at night. Their hours are not limited except by the need. But they are not asking for overtime aid are continually taking the chance of being killed at any moment, while these shipbuilders and others of their kind work just so many hours and draw big pay, then play a few hours and finally sleep in a nice, soft, safe place. |
