OfU S. Chamber Backed
Fights On Unions

Newark, n. J.-AsSerting that not a
single labor leader in the State had
endorsed the candidacy of his Repub-
lican opponent, Albert w. Hawkes.,
Senator William III. Smathers declared
in a statement made public here that
Mr. Hawkes. "self-portrait of himself
as a friend of labor is about as truth
full as the Hitler communiques an
nouncing the fall of Stalingrad."
"The only person in New Jersey who
believes that Mr.. Hawkes., the million
aire industrialist, has any sympathy
for labor's cause, is Mr.. Hawkes." the
Democratic Senator, who is seeking re-
election, added.
eff Mr.. Hawkes. is such good
friend of labor, why is it that not a
single labor leader in the State has
raised his voice on behalf of Mr..
Hawkes?" the statement continued.
"The answer is obvious. No trade union
man could sincerely urge the election
of the Republican candidate and keep
his self-respect, because Mr.. Hawkes.
entire career as an industrialist has
been devoted to fighting labor"
The SmatherS statement charged
that Mr. Hawkes. had engaged in ia
bor espionage" on his own employees
and had joined other industrialists in
"SlbSidiZing a nationwide conspiracy
to destroy unionism," as shown by the
findings of the La Toilette Investigat-
ing Committee, and that, while presi-
dent of the United States Chamber of
Commerce, he had acted as ''lobby

community generally.
"The task of facing the immediate
problems brought about by war condi-
tions and their future significance is
one that has appealed as urgent and
important to those asked to serve"
Miss Miller said, in announcing the
appointment of the commission. 1.-The
shift in the employment status of
women, it's consequence for their per-
sonal lives, their families, the Organi-
zatiOn of industry, are just beginning
to be realized. There is drama in them
today. What do they signify for to-
morrow?
THE first World War brought with
it the emergence of women as a sig
nifcant industrial factor. Ever since,
public opinion and the laws of New
York state have expressed themselves
as to certain minimum standards held
to be desirable.
Issues Held Urgent
To-day we realize that the demands
the present war will make on working
women, as the pace of war production
rises to maximum, dwarf the efforts
of 1917-19 to inSignifcance. These de-
velopments which are piling up now,
are likely to have farreaching effects
for the future industrial, economic and
social relationships of our state.
Because the issues involved are ur-
gent and immediate, and because the
Industrial Commissioner must cur
rently take actions that will cumula-
lively affect decisions of policy, | feel
that l need advice and the judgment
of a committee O. women specially
competent in the iield to review and

come Monday night-one featuring
one of the most popular local slug

probably the best negro fighter
ever to fight here.
Local Boy Vance (Red) Beard,
now 148-pound wleder at the yard
will play host in a rough sort of
way to Cpl. Johnny Bachert of
Camp Davis anti-aircraft school.
Beard punched his way to the dis
trict Golden Gloves at Atlanta

has fought more than loo times.
His opponent, a 148-pounder, de.
feated Frankie Sexton in last
weeks matches, his third straight
appearance on the athletic associa.

The negro, Fred Tyus - better
known as Freddy Dixon, the

johnson of the yard riggers de-
partment. The latter, known as one
of the best fighters in these parts
until losing to Dixon recently, will
epartment.la latter .knowne
be out to make up for that defeat.
Since falling before Freddy's S
tricky blows, Johnson has been
training religiously for another
meeting with the seasoned Welter.
Training session sources have it
that he is ready for another-and
probably more successful-crack
at the soldier from Camp Davis.
Other bouts will send Jack Mas
sey, 120 pounds, of Camp Davis,
against Billy Hearn, 124, of the
102nd Field Artillery at Carolina

A negro battle royal will round out
