PRAISES L ABQR BIG PART EN WAR credit other labor, Ninety-nine per cent of the for production of ships and necessities of war belongs to according to Senator McKcllar of Tennessee. While he did not Intend to detract from tho credit due to the captains of industry who are direct ing the shipbuilding and other gi gantic war enterprises, the Fenator declared they should not claim all the glory of achievement. He said: "We are building ships at the rate of perhaps 6,000.000 tons a year. We must build them faster than the enemy ran sink them. It Is labor that builds those ships. It is labor that digs the raw materials and forget these raw materials. It is labor that rivets, screws, nails, and mor- tlres the various parts and material' ' into a completed whole To lebor Is due 09 per cent of the credit. i "And as In the case of hips so It Is I virtually with all the rest of our war j services and war activities. Our mu nitions of war. the bullets, cannon, shells, guns, machine guns, rifles, rail roads, clothing, uniforms, canton ments, war vessels, and food art man ufactured and produced by the unre mitting and patriotic toll of labor. "And. more than that. It Is labor's sons In the largest degree who actu ally use these materials on the field of battle." Senator McKellar declared himself opposed to the regulation of prices of labor. "The war his raised prices on everything." he said. "It has brought untold prosperity to manufacturers. Why should we begrudse prosperity to the laboring man. who brings prosperity to others?"
