Skilled Labor Is Major Problem For Shipyards On Defense Contracts Washington, Jan. ing a bottleneck in skilled labor ing out President Roosevelt's program of 200 cargo carriers. At least three means of quickly augmenting the supply of shipbuilding artisans probably will be used, these sources said. The first is the apprentice system. The existing big shipyards, already under the pressure of contracts, have been expanding their apprentice schools for more than a year.

Another method is the "upgrading" system advocated Sidney Hillman, a co-director of the national defense program. His plan works out something like this: A highly skilled mechanic, capable of doing eight different types of work, takes over eight unskilled workers, training each of them in one of his eight skills. Personnel Distribution. A third method is the distribution to various yards of a nucleus of supervisory personnel, drawn from Jong-established shipyards. Experts commented, however, that the supply of supervisory personnel already was "drawn pretty thin." Worker shortage was the most vital problem when the United States set out to build a "bridge of ships" to Europe in World War days.

L. S. Baier, inspector of floating equipment for the army engineer said in a recent issue of the corps, magazine, the Military Engineer, that "this shortage was evident all down the line, from the superintendents to the lowest classification of labor." The fact that more shipyards are in operation today than when this tion of Hog Island and country undertook, mass producother yards in World War days should help, Baler said. Writing his article before Roosevelt's proposal for the new emergency program, Baier said: "Mass production of ships could be made comparable with mass "Out of these existing yards could be selected the nucleus of a. trained personnel that would he available, in time of emergency, to supervise construction and to train men in specialized.

Baier cautioned, however, of some of the pitfalls into which mass production shipbuilders of 1917-18 fell. While many of those who applied for jobs were mechanics in other trades and easily adapted themselves to shipbuilding technique, Baler said, "some were musicians, bank clerks, medical students et cetera, whose previous training was of little help to them."
