Shortage Of Machinists Causing
Bottleneck In Defense Program'

As the United States begins direct-
ing its economy towards the goal of
a strong national defense, bottlenecks
are beginning to appear that may
seriously hamper both the national
defense program and peace time pro-
duction.
Several reasons for the one of the
most serious bottlenecks-the short-
age of skilled machinists and tool and
die workers-were disclosed yester-
day in an interview with Melvin C.
Peirce, manager of the local office
of the Michigan Employment Serv-
ice.
''Practically all men who can meet
four general requirements can find
employment at the present time," he
declared. The four requirements he
listed were good physical condition,
possession of a birth certificate in
many cases, or naturalization papers,
and training.
The pressure for skilled machinists
or tool and die workers has not hit
Ann Arbor yet," Peirce explained,
"because there are not many skilled
workers normally employed here and
also there are not many factories en-
gaged directly in defense work."
He went on to point out, however,
that the demand for this type of
labor is quite great in the more in-
dlustriAiz7r d ~Cnii~n+n--,

real jam in the production of dies for
mass production requirements. It is
especially difficult to obtain new ma-
chinery to produce the articles needed
for national defense, it was disclosed.
The present lack of skilled tool
and die workers is the result of sev-
eral factors, Peirce explained. First,
during the last 10 years, the demand
for this work was not great and con-
sequently many workers went into
other lines and furthermore very few
new men learned the trade. Young
men preferred to make higher wages
on the production line rather than
sacrifice a few years at the low ap-
prentice pay that is necessary to learn
a highly skilled trade.
At the present time, it was pointed
out that when the demand for skilled
machinists and tool and die workers
has become pressing, there are not
only an insufficient number avail-
able now but also there seems to be
few recruits going into the trade. The
biggest reason for this, Peirce said,
is the competing attraction of higher
wages on the production side, which
attracts able-bodied men who think
only of the short-run situation, away

Capt. Davidson
Discusses Navy
ROTC U.S. Naval Expert
Opens Talk Series
Capt. Lyal A. Davidson, chairman
of the Naval ROTC department,
opened the 1940-41 series of naval
lectures yesterday with his talk en-
titled "The Navy: Its Past Develop-
ment and Present Purxoses."
Capt. Davidson traced the history
of the U.S. Navy from its early be-
ginnings in Revolutionary times to
the present. He emphasized technical
developments such as the exploding
shell, armor plate, steam, the screw
propeller, and finally the dread-
naught type of war vessel.
The maritime nation without a nav-
al policy is like a ship at sea without
a chart, said Captain Davidson, and
he noted the disarmament trend

heard of Reagan and don't have time
to read the sports columns."
If the prediction made by Arthur
H. Bikoff, '41, is correct, the Wolver-
ine-Quaker battle should be as good
a game as the season can produce.
He said that "the game featuring
two of the country's outstanding
backs should be a thrilling spectacle.
However, the presence of Michigan's
sterling linemen and Blocker Eva-
shevski should turn the tide in Michi-
gan's favor. This game, for sheer
excitement and thrills, will head the
country's football parade."
