UNSKILLED SERVICE MEN IN
DEMAND
Splendid opportunities are now
open to disabled service men to ob
tain vocational training in the ship
building industry at the same tme
that they are earnng excellent in
comes, it is announced by Colonel
Arthur Woods, assistant to the secre
tary of war, who is in charge of the
re-employment of ex-service men.
Men who are interested in these
opportunities should communicate
with the office of the assistant to the
secretary of war, whch will provide
them with further information on this
point. The chief opportunity is with
the Submarine Boat Corporation in
Newark, N. J., which offers from 46
to 56 cents per hour to men who are
learning the trade, at the same time
that it teaches them any of the fol
lowing trades in its school: Riveters,
holders-on, heaters, chippers and
caulkers, reamers and drillers, bolt
ers, regulators, painters, linemen,
shipfitters, pipefitters, marine plumb
ers, pipe-coverers, pipe hangers, erec
tion machinists and electric welders.
A man can become a proficient ship
worker within six welts to two
months, depending upon the trade
and his personal application, when he
is put on production. He is taught
right on the job and is producing at
the same time that he is learning.
The records of this school show that
many graduates are earning $75 to
$100 a week as riveters, and very sub
stantial wages in other related occu
pations.
This is typical of the manner in which
large industrial concerns are respond
’• g to the request of the war depart
ment for the training of unskilled
discharged service men who are am
bitious to become skilled workers but
must at the same tme be earning
enough to support themselves.
AN AMERICANIZATION PROBLEM
Leaders of the Americanization
movement have reached the conclu
sion that the foreign language press
in the United States should be greatly
curtailed if not entirely abolished it
recent news di ''atch° • from Wash
ington are to be believed. It is to be
hoped that there is some truth in the
rumor and that it will at least lead
to an investigation of the foreign lan
guage press of this country.
Despite arguments in its favor the
foreign language press in the United
States has been manipulated in many
instances as a corrupting influence in
American politics. It has been sus
tailed by revenue largely derived
from politicians who have essayed to
control non-English speakng and read
ing groups of the population. In the
larger cities certain shrewd hyphen
ated Americans have financially pros
pered because it has been believed
by campaign managers that the>
could control and deliver the voters
in communities and settlements
where English is rarely spoken. The
usual approach for support of this
press has been through the solicita
tion of advertisements with the un
derstanding that editorial assistance
should supplement the paid spaci
buying.
The owners of many foreign lan
guage newspapers have used their in
fluence to induce their fellows to re
tain their native language and cus
terns, have promoted their segregatior
in spirit and done much to prevent
the Americanization of their particu
lar units. Thus they have become
the medium of -control between the
various foreign speaking units anc
the political parties and been enabled
to make most profitable bargains al
election time.
The war demonstrated our failure
at assimilation. At one militarj
camp it was necessary to translate
military laws into forty different lan
guages. Every camp in the country
was required to establs_h special
schools to teach foreign-born men
to read and write in English. And
this condition was largely due to the
influence of the foreign language
press. If the foreign born had not
been able to get newspapers printed
in their native language they would
have felt compelled to learn English.
Today, in Chicago, there are more
daily newspapers printed in foreign
languages than in English. The for
eign language influence is almost a
determining factor in elections. There
should be an extensive inquiry into
this question, although it is to be ex
pected that strong political pressure
will be exerted to prevent such an in
vestigaton.
Owing to the war the hyphenated
American is not so prominent as he
was in the days before the great con
flict. But the foreign language press
is helping to make assimilation of the
immigrant difficult. It asserts that it
is loyal, but it is the sort of loyalty
that leans to the old world and its
customs in spirit while enduring
Amerca only because it is materially
more profitable as a place of habita
tion. The war demonstrated the dan
ger of a divided allegiance. The for
eign language press fosters such an
allegiance. It has no proper place
here and it ought to go.—Ex.
