We were handed a letter yes
terday, from Billy Priest. At the
time he wrote it, he was employed
in the Skinner nd Eddy shipyard,
Seattle. He said that they build
jnly steel vessels in this yard, but
there is another yard close by,
where only wooden ships are built.
He’s getting $3.60 per. Priest says
that a fellow is fortunate indeed,
if he is able to secure a room even
now, and he don’t know what it is
going to be like in the future.
The ship builders expect to employ
between 15,000 and20,000 more
moil within the next 90 days. He
sa>’’ Skinner and Eddy have a con
tract to launch a ship every 60 days.
They have from four to six on the
ways, continuously, under construc
tion. Three vessels have been laun
ched since he went to work in this
shipyard.
He writes about meeting Jim
McLaughlin, Tommy Watson, Monte
Blair, as well as many other old
time Nomeites. Bill sends his re
gards to members of Aerie No.75.
as well as to his ether friends in
Nome.
