Probably the approaching
Thanksgiving season is bringing to
Detroit more social and athletic
expectancy than the Motor City
has enjoyed in many, many moons.
Everything is conferred around the
annual football game to be played
by Wiloerlorce university and West
Virginia State college True enough,
each team has lost one or two
games this year perhaps by holding
out star players for fear they might
become injured before the Detroit
Classic, but as usual, there will
be the same intense rivalry be-
tween these two schools when they
clash at the University of Detroit
stadium at pm. on Thanksgiving
day Of this year that has Character
Izcd the gridiron meeting Of these
two schools in years past; conse-
qucntly in the parlance Of sports
the event will be natural

RAY ROBINSON
BEATS ANOTHER

Although Beaten Badly,
Vic Dellicurti S tays
The Ten Rounds

NEW YoRK-The boys along
Jacobs Beach are discussing Ray
Robinsons venture into the field of
middlewe ghts during the past two
months. Robinson has met two
miSdleweights in that period, and
has failed 10 stop either OF the two
heavier opponents.
With that morsel of food 10 chew
on, the boys on Jacobs Beach are
caawing away with all their might
as they venture suggestions. The
most prominent of these suggestions
rs that Robinson should confine his
activities to the disposal of weller
weights, and not risk his expensive
hands on the heads of middle
weights.
Not A Deterrent
But this talk has not been a de-
terrent to Robinson who continues
his campaign among the middle
weights. His latest victim is Vic
Dellicurti, Harlemite, whom Rob-
inson beat in 10 rounds in Madison
Square Garden last Friday night
His previous victims are Jack La
Motta and lzzy Jannazzo, both los
ing to Ray IN 10 round contests.
Robinson gave Dellicurti severe
beating through the 10 rounds, but
was unable TO stop his heavier op-
ponent. Delllcurtis left eye was
cut in the fifth round, and blood
poured from the wound throughout
the fight as Robinson kept his left
jab hammering on the sore spot.
Thirty-eighth Straight
This w"s Robinson's thirty-eighth
victory since turning professional,
against 80 wins for a total of 1877
straight victories. However, Robin
son refrained from trying TO knock
out his heavier opponent. This I'M
expected move on Robinson's part
drew the applause of the l0,349 fans
who witnessed the bout.
Robinson did not land a solid
punch in the tenth round. but he
had given Dellicurti a terrific beat
ing in the ninth. The white boy
was bleeding profusely from the
wound over his eye, and several
times Referee frankie Fullam ex-
ahmed the wound, but permitted
the fight to go on.
Although he bruised both hands
in the battle, Robinson will start
training next week for his return
bout with Izzy Jannazzo at Cleve-
land, December l. Then he will
meet an opponent yet 10 be select

on the eastern seaboard last spring

In ending it's discussion, the survey
comments on the work of the lilo and
the organizations future, as follows:
Achievements of the International
Labor Office form one of the brightest
spots in the long record of effort
oward international cooperation
The exchange of ideas and informa-
tion between countries has resulted in
action to level up labor standards.
Foreign countries have benefited by
American leadership in high wages
and short hours, while our country
has benefited by the earlier advances
of other nations in unemployment in
surance, old-age pensions, workmen's
compensation, health insurance, dis
missal wage.
"The International Labor Office has
proved itself as a world governing
body suitable for transacting business
between nations and reaching agree
ments that can be made effective. 1t
may well point the way toward world
wide democratic organization to tran
sact other types of business"

nounced Tuesday.
The loss of the company, recognized
by the Fifth Corps Area regular army
officers and other critics as one of the
finest home guard units in the state,
would be a severe blow to the Ham
ilton home defense program.

COMMITTEE TABLES
"FREEZINC" ORDER

Washington, d. C. QLNS).-A pro-
posed directive, freezing" war work
ers to their jobs to stop the "pirating"
of labor by employers offering higher
wages, has been tabled by the Labor
Management Policy Committee of the
War Manpower Commission.
The committee acted on the initia-
tive of Walter P. Reuther, labor
member, who argued that as long as
the various agencies dealing with the
problem of wage stabilization had not
completed their task it would be un-
fair for the government to compel war
workers to remain at their present
employment.
Reuther cited examples of aircraft
workers in the Detroit area whose
wages varied considerably and de-
clared that to "freeZe" these men to
their present jobs would be more likely
to cause "a revolution" than to bring
an end to labor piracy"
He contended that one method of
preventing changes from one job to
another was through industry stabili-
zation conferences such as those sue
cessfully held in the shipbuilding and
ship repairing industries.

For Protection Of Workers Jobs
In New York's Dress Industry
Supreme Court Justice McCOOk Upholds Agreement De
clares Lawful 81 900 Promotion Fund in Pact
Decision Acclaimed "New Course for Labor

New York City (ILNS).-Legality
of a union-employer agreement re-
quiring an industry to advertise it's
products as means of safeguarding
the jobs of the workers has been up
held here by Supreme Court Justice
Philip j. McCook
The decision declared lawful the
$1,000,000 promotion fund established
under the contract, between the New
York Dress Joint Board of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers.
Union and the dress manufacturers in
New York City.
Under the terms of the agreement
each manufacturer is required to con-
tribute to the promotion fund through
the purchase of labels from the New
York Dress Institute, the cooperative
organization set up by the union and
the employers to win recognition for
New York as a world-style center
These labels were to be sewed in every
garment made in union shops.
Basis of Case
The test case grew out of the re-
fusal of Jaunty Junior, Inc, of 463
Seventh Avenue, to participate in the
purchase plan. Harry Uviller, impair
tial chairman of the dress industry,
sustained complaint by the union
against the concern and when it re-
fused to yield the case was put before
Justice McCook.

Licenses Show Decrease

Columbus, Ohio.-The call of tav-
ern proprietors to service and the sum-
moning of thousands of Ohioans, or
