Robinson Earns TK0
Easily in 9-Rounder
Against Woods
~ the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-Ray tSugar>
Robinson, the angular New York
fstic sharpshooter, whose IS months
In the Army halted his bid for the
welterweight title, today maintained
his ranking as leading contender for
the crown as he notched his second
victory since he resumed his civilian
occupation of fist fighting.
The No. / man for Freddy Coch-
fanes welter title proved to himself
and to 10,622 fans at the Chicago
Stadium last night that military life
was no deterrent to his f1stic ambi-
tions as he battered Sergt. Lou
Woods of Detroit for ninth-round
technical knockout. The gross gate
for the stadium's opening boxing
card of the fall-winter season was
S41,246.
Woods Given Sound Beating.
Robinson, weighing l471a to 1884,
for the noncom soldier from
Fort Sheridan, was the aggressor
throughout and piled up wide
margin of points. Woods defensive

the Harlem Negro, but the soldier
was unable to land many effective
punches and escaped a knockout
only by hanging on. The bout,
scheduled for 10 rounds. was halted
by Referee Tommy Thomas so Sec

Woods, recipient of many stinging
blows, never was knocked down.
Although Robinson was a S.

Labor voters should have little difficulty

The CIO news., 1944-10-09

Union membership figures compiled by the
research department of the CIO Political Ac-
tion Committee point moral which all labor
unionists should ponder in this election year.
In 1920, following the last world war,
total union membership in the United States
was 4,O78 TAO. But in that year, the reaction
ary and anti-labor Harding administration was
elected, with a "back-to-normalcy" program
NOT dissmilar to that of Dewey today.
AS result of the union-busting open-shop
sdriyes Of that regime, union membership
dropped to 2,877,297 by 1925.

side of reconversion." He denounces its failure
to prescribe federal standards of unemploy-
ment compensation to provide any benefits
for federal employees and to pay transportation
costs for laid-off workers stranded far from
home-and calls for the prompt rectifying Of
these deficiencies.
Roosevelt further notes that Congress has
provided prompt and generous settlements for
business interests, and declares: "We should
be no less fair In our treatment of our war
workers."
When Dewey and his crowd speak of re-
conversion, ram down their throats their
shameful record In Congress-and vote for a
President and members of Congress who will
give fair treatment to labor.
