Ntevy Seeks 10,000
More Workers For Jobs
At Pearl Harbor Base
Kansas City, Kan.—An appeal for
10,000 more skilled workers has been
sent out by authorities at the navy
yard in Pearl Harbor, it was reveal
ed by the International Brotherhood
of Boilermakers here.
L. A. Freeman, editor and manager
of "The Boilermakers Journal", pub
lished the appeal in the January issue
of the "Journal."
The call for more workers indicates
that American operations against
Japan are being planned on a far
greater scale than is generally anti
cipated, and that a huge working
force is being built up in Hawaii for
this purpose. Many thousands of skill
ed men have previously been recruit
ed for Pearl Harbor from the Ameri
can mainland.
The article explained that appli
cants for the jobs should contact the
nearest United States Civil Service
office, located usually in a Federal
building.
Wages for journeymen machanics
are to be $1.46 to $1.58 an hour and
for helpers $1.02 to $1.08. The work
ers also will have opportunity to earn
overtime pay. Barrack rooms at $10
a month and mess at 70 cents a day
are provided at Pearl Harbor.

Ohio, you have given America seven
presidents in the 75 years we have been
citizens of your state. In those. 75 years
you have given the nation its first
street lighting, its first elec- trie
street railway, its first airplane, cash
register, pneumatic tire, -""7*^ self starter. You have
become one of the country's greatest
industrial and agricultural pro
ducers because your inventive citizens
have dreamed of better ways to do things.
Many of these inventions have called for new develop
ments from petroleum and Standard Oil men
have been up to the job of creating them. Standard
Oil provided the lubricants for the
first airplane flight lor Ohio's
early railroads so they could speed
