Merchant Marine to
Be Manned Exclusively
By American Seamen
Washington.—The goal of a mer
chant marine manned exclusively hy
American seameu is drawing near; ac
cording to reports on the subject re
cently compiled.
During* ihe past few months more
than 9f> per cent of the seamen placed
on American vessels by the Shipping
Board's Sea Service Recruiting Bureau
were Americans, it was stated, today.
When the bureau first began to func
tion less than 10 pe- cent of the men
placed were Americans. As time
passed and the idea of having all
American crews aboard ships Hying
Che United States flag grew, the num
ber increased.
Last fiscal vear 68.8-ptr cent of the
men placed , were Americans l1’Com
July to November the number in
creased. so that now there are ships
which have 100 per cent American
crews aixiard.
The final goal is-to have every ship
manned by 'all-Americans crews- with
the shore establishments equally repr
esentative of the United States.
Why Ask for a Raise ?
A young Gentile working for a He
brew asked for a raise, l'iiis was the
Hebrew’s reply:
Id the year is -165 days
You work 8 hours a day. or
oniv one-third the time, or 121 days
Then theca is- Sunday each
week, or days
Which leaves 65>days
Then you have a half day off.
each Saturday, or 26-days
Which leaves 43 days
Then you have one hour off
each day for dinner, or 13 days
Which leaves- .30 days
154c h year I; give you., two
weeks’ vacation*.or1 14 days
Which leaves lfi days
Id the year there are 12 holi
days 12 days
Which leaves 4 days
Any —— fool knows there are
4 Jewish holidays in a year 4 days
Which leaves 0 days
Now why in the name of Moses do
you want a raise?
