Nelson AssaiIs EngeI
For Attack on HiIIman
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of
the War Production Board took Rep
resentative Engel, Republican, OF
Michigan, to task yesterday for what
he called an "unwarranted accuSa-
ton" that Sidney Hillman, w. P. B.
labor director, had prevented manu-
facturers of women's clothing from
bidding on Army uniform contracts.
In letter to Mr.. Engel, made pub
lie by w. P. B., Mr. Nelson asserted
he was surprised to learn that a
Congressman would make such a
statement without getting the facts"
In a speech on the floor of the
House Monday Representative Engel
said that Mr.. Hillman, on leave as
| president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union, had used
his official position to discriminate
against the women's wear industry
in the award of Army contracts for
shirts, coats, shorts, underwear and
other clothing. The International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union Is
uUlIllIldllI III IIlc WOlIlCll WCol III
dustry and Mr.. Hillman's union in
the mems clothing industry.
Mr.. Nelson told Mr.. Engel:
You made an unwarranted ac-
cusation Of this kind without giving
me any opportunity to tell you the
facts which I could have laid be-
fore you in five minutes time had I
been asked. There has been no
agreement nor arrangement be-
tween Mr.. Hillman and myself to
do anything with respect to plac-
ing business in any shops where the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
have recognition"
Mr.. Hillman, also denying any
such agreement, declared that "the
most cursory study of contract
awards would have demonstrated
conclusively that manufacturers
heretofore engaged in the ladies
garment industry have received ex-
tensive orders for textiles and
clothing"
