Munition work expands nationwide with skilled workers
London March 27 reports a large scale resumption of munition jobs across the country. Clerical and other deemed needless wartime roles return to labor, drawing professionals and skilled workers for higher wages and national value, causing gaps in abandoned trades. A Pioneer Oil Company notice says its well bailer will drop next Wednesday seven miles west of the city to relieve pressure and spur a predicted gusher. Corpus Christi excitement grows over the strike while authorities search Corpus Bay for 15 year old Joe Sue Eliff Jr. drowned near the Municipal wharf.
