| Summary: | In the first letter, B. F. McLeod of the United States Shipping Board writes to Lloyd M. Hooper about organizing a ship workers campaign in Alabama. The second letter, from George F. Porter of the Council of National Defense, encourages states with shipyards to prioritize shipbuilding for the war effort. Porter also instructs states that "it is very important that men in the shipyards should not be withdrawn as part of the unorganized militia, nor should their work be interrupted by emergency duty as members of any State military organization." The materials also include instructions for a "Ship Poster Competition." |
