NEW PROVIDENCE, N. j., June is.
This suburban borough claims a
place in the front ranks of those which
have refused to countenance the
Hearst papers. Recently big adver-
tisement of those sheets was sent to
"The Passaic Valley News" of this
place, together with budget of read
ing matter.
The fate of the stuff is indicated in
the following leading editorial in this
weeks issue Of "The News:
apparently alarmed by the wide
spread popular revolt against their
anti-war pol 'cy and against the inde-
cent and disloyal garblng of the Pres
ident's Memorial Day proclamation, the
Hearst papers are seeking to conduct a
campaign of display advertising in
country papers.
"Such an advertisement, to fill two
columns, was sent last week 20 "The
News" for insertion at regular rates,
together with lot of reading notices.
"The News" declined to print it. This
paper needs all the money it can legiti-
mately get from advertisements. But
it will not at any price print liquor

A call for 5000 women to work in 81

ing drlll pressing and similar work mas
just been issued by a large factory
near Waterbury, Conn. SO badly does
1t need workers that it has sent rep
resentative, Miss Maud =. Woodruff, to
New York to recruit women.
Miss Woodruff is working through
the City Employment Agency, 70 Cen
tire Street, and the Federal Employ
ment Office, % Mast Twenty second
Street. She is e. worker in the plant.
The country needs these women" she
says. I'VE want only those who have
some idea of the patriotic nature of
the work and to whom patriotic ser
vice is more important than the in
fated wage the public somehow con-
meets with munitions. We pay a living
wage and we want only women and
girls who are determined to stick"
The work is not exacting, according
TO Miss Woodruff, because each woman
is tested to learn the work for which
she is fitted. Women who sign up will
be sent to Waterbury, where welfare
workers will arrange living accommo-
datons.' There is little danger in the
munition work, and they will be paid
by the piece.
