CALIFORNIA DISTRICT COUNCIL OF LABORERS BAY CITIES METAL TRADES COUNCIL PACIFIC COAST DOTRLCT METAL TRADES COUNCIL ALAMEDA COUNTY CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL SAN FRANCISCO CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL CALIFORNIA STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR May 13, 1954 Three Bay area Congressmen, John J. Allen, Jr., William S. Mailliar.d and John F. Shelley, recently submitted identical House Resolutions. Indicative of the importance of the subject matter �s the fact that six of their colleagues on the Committee offered the same Resolutions. Many of us here have been concerned with the plight of our local Shipyard Industry. It is obvious that the lack of active shipyards in the Bay area could be irreparably harmful in the event of any necessary full scale mobilization. A complete study of the several problems could be of much value in restoring our local yards to their _rightful ?position in any mobilization planning. The Congressmen in the Bay area have consistent- ly championed. the local Shipyard Industry and, as members of the Com.rrnittee of Congress conducting this study, may be counted upon to adequately point out the need to the United States of a Shipyard Industry in the Bay area. Enclosed please find a copy of the Resolution in question. It would be much appreciated if, by an official action of your body, you. would support the need for this study and notify Congressmen Allen, Mailliard or Shelley and send copy of your communica- tion to us. Very truly ,yours, R. 'J, B RENNAN Secretary RJB f oeiu 29 -afl Eno.
