At several shipbuilding plants on the Gulf coast of Texas and not more than 175 miles of this place are at least 2.500 Shelby County farmers drawing ungodly wages and most of them home on week ends and joke about the vast number of unnecessary men employed by these plantsthe bigger the pay roll the more the "pluses" and the more for the racketeer labor leader. As Baruch says. that if these plants were on contract basis and forced to organize their manpower the manpower situation would clear up in a jiffy. I now wish to quote from a letter written by a man who lives in New York City: I have been employed in a secondary war plant and in said plant there was employed about 20 refugees. all single. and well within the draft age. About 3 days a week a lawyer was in the factory making out deferments for these boys. I had charge of a certain department and the boss brought in a young man to me and said I had to give him a job as he was In the draft. and his father was a personal friend of said boss.
