Morrow's Participation Also Lends VigOr to New Jersey Contest for Sena- torial Toga.

Boston, Mass. Oct. 2S (UP)-The United States senatorial battle, with prospects of close fight, seems to have captured most of the interest surrounding the forthcoming elcc- ton in Massachusetts.
 This race involves two millionaire manufacturers, William NJ. Butler, former United States senator, former chairman of the republican national committee and close friend of Cal yin Coolidge; and Marcus A. Coo- lidge, long prominent in Massachu- Sets state politics.
 Butler is bone dry and stalwart supporter, of the Hoover prohibition policy Coolidge is dripping wet.
 Butler. although he has filled an uneXpired term as United States senator, never has been elected to that office. He was defeated by Sen ator David l. Walsh in 1926. While Coolidge has long been identified with state politics he never has reld an important public office.
 Unemployment Issue
 Although prohibition is one of the outstanding issues of the campaign. unemployment seems 10 be the ma Jor one.
 In this connection. Butler has Contended that the nation is not cX- periencing hard times but merely d period of hesitancy He has said that while there may be q little de- pression now, there would be real hard times if the democrats got into office and started tinkerinG with the tariff.
 Butler believes that every state should adopt the 4S-hour law in in dustry which prevails in Massachu- setts He has described this law as wise and humane, and has express ed the belief that federal acticn will be necessary to attain nationwide enactment
 The Nye campaign fund inNcsti- eating committee was to have come 10 Massachusetts several weeks ago to consider charges by Conrad ,Crooker. general counsel of the lih- -cral civic league. hat Butler had been paying substantial sums Of money to labor leaders in connec- tion with his campaign. Senator Gerald P. Nye, however. deferred hearing of the matter until after election, though he has written to p,,+lo ,,I fo i,fo nation pertaining to campaign acti- Nities.
 |. In his campaign Coolidge had charged Butler with insincerity IT. his advocacy of the national 4S- hour law. Characterizing his own labor record as unassailable. Cool iGge has declared that Butler has opposed every humane labor meas ure advocated in the state ard has been a consistent opponent of tn 4S-hour law for women and chil. drcn
 Record Assailed
 At the same time. Coolidge's la haro record has been assailed in re. publican quarters. it being charged that dS q IldllCl Ol thpcultllCs, SCN eral years ago. he moved virtually his entire manufacturing plant from Fitchburg. Mass. his hom city. to Seneca Falls, N. Y. disre- garding the welfare of his tchburg employees.
 Coolidge has sought to belittll these allegations by stressing the fon Iof burg Central Labor Union adopted resolution to the effect that as ar employer Coolidge never was hostill Or unfriendly to labor.
