Show J STALLING ON PUBLIC WORK I Colllon publishes letter from n I workman In a San Frnnsjco shipyard I who nlcns his linmo and clres his ad- I dress. I Here are somo things he sas can I bo seen In shipyard: 75 per csne- I of tho men doing CO per cent of u I I fair daj's work, losing thereby to tho country nt least ? 3,000 pot- d.iy I on one slnglo ehllp. I Ho would have heard foremen I tell their men: "Now, take It easy I and hang on to this.,, I He would hare heard at every I turn men boasting about how il'tlo I they have done and what a pay I check they were receiving. I You may ask how do I know all I theso things. Because I am one of I the chief offenders. I am working I or rather stalling, In a large ship- I yard. I Tho last time I asked a foreman I what to do next, he said: "For 's I sake can't you find a place to hide? I I did. I hare been la the laiarct for I three days, receiving 9.90 a day I and haven.t done one single tap of I work." I The author of this nefarious con- fesslon should be stood up against a I wall. Dy his side should be the I foreman to whom he refers and a I few others further up the line. I This labor slacker filched from I the government the, price ofll9 I thrift stamps. The work of 119 I little boys and girls, saving their I pennies and nlcklei, has been nul- lifted, by this bloodsuckers. I The most astonishing feature of I the Incident Is the fact that such I stalling could bo practiced wUh Im-I Im-I munity. Try to Imagine a private I Industry in which such n thing I would be possible. Itocky Moun-I Moun-I tain News. |
