MAIN EVENT OF
SMOKER ADRAW

Fighting to draw in the 10
round main event of company +
smoker last night Battling" Sy-
yerson of Salem and frankie
krites Of Newberg, put up a lusty
struggle from the instance the
gong rang in the first round.
Fans were not disappointed in
either man.. but expressed some
dissatisfaction when Jack Ober-
dorf called a draw. Krites Is a
much more experienced fighter,
and left no one in doubt, as to
who took the worst beating, but
though cautioned by Oberdort
several times, he did not make
clean breaks, consequently the de-
cision.
Syyerson forced the fight in ey-
ery round, but still has to learn
that he must keep his glove closed,
and spare himself. Krites took
every advantage to hit, swinging
at his opponent with follow-ups
that proved rather disasterous to
the Salem boys wind. While both
men fought hard enough, each had
strength to hold up their hands at
the end of the tenth round.
The semi-main event between
Phil Bayes of Salem and Morris of
Newberg, ended in the third round
when Morris seconds threw his
towel in the ring. Bayes showed
wonderful aggressiveness last
night and his form has improved
wonderfully since the beginning
of the season.
Graham and Ted Montgomery,
in one of the preliminaries, had
every thing but speed, the bout
ending for Graham. "Dubs' Null
key and Graves gave an exhibition
of three rounds duration.

HALF MILLION ON
CIVIL PAYROLL
OF Government

Washington, April %. - Uncle
Sam continues to lead all private
agencies as the heaviest employer
OF civilian labor In America, ac.
cording to the latest figures Of
Director Of the Budget Dawes.
With 5SS,61S civilians drawing
pay checks twice a month the gov
ernment takes first rank as an
employer. The number however,
shows considerable reduction
over the payroll list OF last year,
when 643,S33 were working for
Uncle Sam.
More than half Of his force
works In the post office depart
ment, which leads all other gov
ernment departments in the num-
Der Of civilians employed. The to-
tai, according to Dawes, now
handling Uncle Sam mail in 301,
779, compared to 298,SS4 a year
ago.
The money handlers come next,
with 67,492 men and women work
ing In the Treasury department.
This number shows reduction
Of about 5000 over the number
employed there year ago, Dut
Dawes does not say whether this
is due to having less money to
handle.
The War and Navy departments
run close race for third place
with the sailors winning out.
There are GLASS civilians in the
Navy department and 61,242 in
the soldier department.
Uncle Sam also has 1850 cit
liens looking after the interests
Of farmers under the supervision
of teh Department Of Agriculture.
His war veterans get the next
best attention, with 1927 civil
fans In the Veterans Burssu.
Most OF the male employees in this
bureau, by the way are former
soldiers.
Irrigation and reclamation pro-
jects draw the next highest NUN
ber OF employees, with t7400l
workers looking after these inter-
ests in the Interior department.
The nations trade comes next In
Importance, with 11,488 employees
In the Commerce Department,
while 5,598 employees handle rec
ords and run down cases In the
Department OF Justice.
The Shipping Board, although |
facing sharp cuts In the near fu-
ture, now has 5,4O1 civilians on
its payroll, and the Department of
Labor follows with 3,6S6 employ
es.
Affairs of state are handled by
the smallest number of employees
of any of the governments de-
partments. There is a total OF
only 3,121 civilians assisting Sec
retary of State Hughes in guiding
the nations ship OF state. This
number, though, does not include
200 doormen and buffers engaged
in service abroad.
OF the total number, 63,822
are employed In Washington,
white the remainedr are scattered
across the face Of the globe,
though principally throughout the
United States. |

"Y' INDUSTRIAL
PROGRAM BROAD
Much Work Done Among
Non-Citizens and Factories
by Secretary Lacombe

The Industrial Department seeks
to serve men and boys in industry IN
ways necessarily limited through the
regular channels of a~ssociational ex-
preston. Hence the program is
more or less flexible, according TO
the necessities of the individuals and
groups to whom the service IS rem
dered. James A. Larcombe IS the
secretary in charge of the activities
of this department.
Factory discussion groups consid-
er current events, history, better cit
izenship, and the rise of Constitu-
tional Government.
Other groups engage in noon re-
~creational activities. For the young
err men there are industrial voltey
ball competitive games in the build
ing during the winter. and an indus
trial baseball league for the summer
afternoons.
Factory athletic nights IN the gym
furnish fun for guests and tests OF
| strength and endurance for compel
| ing teams. In the past season y
discussion groups nine recreaf1pnai
groups, and nine factory nights were
held.
A free personal service bureau is
| conducted every Wednesday night
when men are aided in all matters
relating to preparations for filing pes
| titions for citizenship, employment,
| American language, and any forms
of personal difficulty.
Special emphasis is given to
training applicants for American CIT
izenship. A large class meets twice
each week in the city library. The
sessions are held on Monday and
