pay roll varying from 500 to

wage of the Company's agri-
cultural labor, 50 per 8-hour
day, is the highest in the his
tory of the Virgin Islands. al

pany for a livelihood and a far
greater number indirectly.
In many respects this year
has been the most difficult in
the Company's history. Com
tinuing drought reduced the
sugar crop to about so percent
of anticipated production. In
addition, there has been no
market for rum, the most pro-
fitable byproduct Of sugar cane.

ask Congress to authorize a
Treasury loan to the Company

New Faces in Congress
Jersey Sending R. c. Hendriekson, State
Treasurer, to Hill as New G. O. P. Senutor

New Jerseys new senator-elect,
Robert G. Hendrickson, set his sails
for the Washington scene many
years ago.. but the political winds Of
fortune all but blew him from his
course last winter.
A small-town lawyer from Wood
bury in Gloucester County, who has
served as State treasurer since 1912,
Mr.. Hendrickson counted on the
support OF his friend, Gov. Driscoll,
when the Republican State admin
istration decided last January to
sidetrack Senator Albert w. Hawkes..
When Senator Hawkes. decided to
force a primary fight, however, ac-
cording to the story in New Jersey,
party leaders turned to a candidate
they thought could match his hnan-
cial strength. This was State Sen
ator David Van Alstyne, q member
Of q Wall Street firm OF security
underwriters.
But Senator Hawkes. finally de-
cided not to run and later Mr.. Van
Alstyne retired from the field. Mr.
Hendrickson topped State Labor
Commissioner Harry G. Harper,
backed by Senator Hawkes., in the
primary contest.
! Mr.. Hendrickson, so, attained

Statewide prominence first as q
member of the New Jersey Senate.
His only previous political expert
ence was a Woodbury. City solicitor.
Liter, he became Republican major
ity leader in the State Senate, then
Senate President and in 1912 State
Treasurer.
North New Jersey Republican
leaders successfully ran him against
former Gov. Harold G. Hoffman for
nomination for the top State post
in 1910, but he was defeated for the
gubernatorial post by Charles Edi-
son, Democrat, by $4,000 votes, when
former President Roosevelt carried
the State.
Mr.. Hendrickson, who says he will
work for q lasting peace and gen.
uine prosperity" has supported the
United Nations, the Marshall Plan
and defensive alliance Of Western
European nations. Domestically, he
calls for q balanced price-wage-
profit structure and urges adjust
ment of the Taft Hartley Act in the
light Of changing conditions.
