Grace, president, Bethlehem Steel the Home "V3w??.v, _ Manpower Thousands of men arriving for wofk in a BethJchem shipyard. Down this yard's busy shipways slide many of the nation's cruisers, destroyers and aircraft carriers. Bethlehem repeatedly has made records for delivering vessels well ahead of schedule. ? This is the story of manpower in Bethlehem steel mills and shipyards, of men and women who have come by the thousands from all walks of life to do a job in backing up our fighting forces with a continuous flood of materials. These men and women are vital to the battle of production. Manpower at Bethlehem Steel has been multi plied three times in three and a half years. Here arc the figures: ?UNBE1 or KTILEKM ENPLITEIS ?Poland invaded, September 1939 100,000 Fall of France, summer 1940 120,000 Pearl Harbor, December 1941190,000 Tunisia, May 1943......... 290,000 Facts About Bethlehem Workers Manpower is the heart of Bethlehem's current production of a ship a day. Manpower makes possible the meeting of its large commitments for ordnance and other war-steel products. All other problems such as materials and supplies are secondary ? the essential dependence is on manpower. Thousands of men from non-essential trades are joining Bethlehem war-work armies. More than 13,000 women are employed at Bethlehem plants and shipyards, and the num ber is constantly increasing. Veteran employees are zealously teaching the newcomers, so that they can quickly handle their appointed tasks. New employees earn while they learn, in special training classes and in on-the-job training. Sympathetic study of each person's abilities puts "square pegs in square holes." Wages are the highest in the history of shipbuilding and steel, and in the top group of all industries. Promotion is rapid, as opportunity to advance comes far more swiftly than under normal conditions. , Bethlehem employees are friendly, high-grade people. The great majority have education in the high school grades, and thousands are graduates of colleges, crafts and professions. More than 50,000 Bethlehem employees are now serving in tlie armed forces, a fact which gives added seriousness of purpose to those working to produce the supplies. To work in Bethlehem shipyards and plants is to be in the front line of industry, doing a ' real job to help win the war.

Employment in Bethlehem's shipbuilding and ship repair yards alone has grown from i;,ooo in 1939, to nearly 180,000. The enlistment in our manpower army continues from week to week and from month to month. The total of Bethlehem employees will exceed 300,000 by the end >J the year. To reach this total force, and provide for re placements of those going into the armed services and others, many thousands more men and women will be hired. FROM ALL OCCUPATIONS Bethlehem workers come from virtually every walk of life to serve in these war-work armies. Here are 60 instances of former occupations of men and women who are now producing ships and combat materials.
