Letter from A. Williams to Naval Constructor in Charge of Mare Island Shipyard

Subject(s): California--Vallejo, Employees--Wages, Holiday pay, Mare Island Naval Shipyard

A. Williams inquired whether Saturday half-holidays, as declared by President Roosevelt, will apply to the ship keepers. Williams acknowledges that not all ship keepers can be off at the same times, but offers alternatives. He also questions the fairness of ship keepers who now have to work holidays with no extra compensation, when those who take the day off get extra.
