Army Shifts Gen. Fairehi|d
And Gen. GrisWo|d

New assignments for two general
officers of the Army were announced
yesterday at the War Department.
Brig. Gen. Muir S. Fairchild was
transferred from the headquarters of
Army Air Forces in Washington
to duty in the Office of the chief of
Air Corps.
Maj. Gen. Oscar w. Griswold, who
Is in charge of the Infantry Replace
ment Training Center at Camp
Croft, S. c., is to take command
of the 4th Motorized Division at
Fort Benning, Ga. In his new as
signment he will succeed Maj. Gen.
Lloyd r. Fredendall, who was re-
Gently made commander of the End
Army Corps.
At 54 years of age Gen. Griswold
Is among the younger" division
commanders. He graduated from
West Point in 1910. A machine-gun
officer during the World War, he
has since commanded tank brigade
and was assistant chief of staff of
the 9th Army Corps.
Gen. Fairchild was awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross for his
participation in the Pan-American
Good Will flights in 1926 and 1927.
He came into the Army from the
National Guard of Washington State
before the World War and was COM
missioned in 1918. AS an Army pilot
he was wounded in action, having
participated in numerous aerial en-
eagements in France and Italy.

the Red fleet have been used as in
fantry in this fighting hints at a
growing shortage of Russian trained
man power, though it is not neces-
sarily definite proof thereof-since
the conditions restrict the scope OF
Russian naval operations.
The mobilization of the naval
reserves may well have given the
Russians more men than they could
possibly use afioat, resulting in the
formation of a naval brigade for
land fighting, as similar conditions
resulted in the formation of Ad-
miral Ronarch's famous Fusiliers
Marines on the French channel
coast in 1914.
Altogether, this has been a week
of favorable indications for the
Germans, rather than of major ac-
complishment. The question marks
which have been written up against
Russian ability to reinforce and
supply their armies. to make good
losses. and especially to keep put

succeeded John G. Winant, now
Ambassador to Great Britain. In his
report Mr.. Phelan will review eco
homie and social developments of
the last two years and outline the

closes.
No Decisive Victories.
The chief German successes in
the south are in the sector where
the Russians can best afford defeat,
if they must suffer defeat some
where. The loss of Odessa and
Nikolaiev would be troublesome but
not decisive providing Budenny
does not lose too much of his army.
The Germans are still far from
the industrial establishments of
the lower Dnieper. But the stabil-
ization of the front which the
Russians had maintained for almost
a month appears to be dissolving
again into a war of movement and
there are hints that the Germans
are attaining a greater freedom of
action, and that Russian counter
measures are growing weaker. These
hints may or may not develop into
certainties. The next 10 days
should be a period of developments
well worth close attention.

Substitutes for Silk
Developed by Both
Army and Navy
Fibers Tested Successfully
For Most Purposes,
Including 'Chutes

By the Associated Press.
The Army, threatened with a
shortage of silk for artillery powder
bags, reported yesterday it had de-
veloped a cotton substitute accept
able for most purposes.
At the same time, the Navy dis
closed that it had developed a syn
thetic silk substitute, details of
which were withheld, and also had
laid in its own stockpile Of silk for
use in powder bags and parachutes.
Fabric bags are used in guns to
hold the powder charge. Unless the
material burns out completely with
the discharge of the gun, smolder-
ing fragment of cloth in the breech
may result in premature explosion
Of the next charge.
Navy's Silk Adequate Now.
The synthetic fibre developed by
the Navy fills this requirement and
may be used also in parachute manu-
facture, it was said. Even before
the Office of Production Manage
ment forbade silk processing by mills
throughout the country to conserve
the supply for military use, the
Navy reported it had enough silk on
hand for current needs, and was
prepared to turn out the synthetic
whenever need might arise.
The Army's experiments with cot
ton began seven years ago. the War
Department said, and have resulted
in cotton bags which are suited to
most artillery purposes" 1t can
not yet be used in place of silk tie
straps for heavy charges, nor for
silk powder bags in guns of very
heavy caliber. but research is con-
tinuing for use of a substitute in
guns of higher calibers.
Army specifications require thai
the ash content of cotton powder
bags be not more than OF per cent
in order that gun breeches be not
fouled by the residue.
Tests Prove Successful.
The Ordnance Department. sue
cessful experiments with cottor
have overcome the supposed tend.
ency of cotton to smolder in the
gun breech or barrel after tht
powder charge is fired, it was re.

Of the four grades of cottor

been submitted both to proving
ground and field tests, while tn,
other two have been employed ir

MANAGEMENT-THE
BOTTLENECK OF DEFENSE

These are indeed perilous times. Men are fearful OF the
future because they are losing confidence in government and
statesmen. There mast be a stabilizing influence in the ranks
of the people. Such an institution is labor; labor is anxious
to seTue.
Some say labor is the botleneck. THE REVERSE is TRUE.
The concentration of war orders is the cause of restriction i'm the
American production for defense. Too many of the major defense
contracts have been awarded to a half a dozen associated fl
nanciaI groups. As a result thirty thousand plants have received
no contracts and bottIeneeks have been created.
Washington is over-run by a horde of rapacious DOL
LAR-A-YEARm men who having previously served corpora
tons, expect to serve them in the future. America will never
be adequately defended SO long as men like Knudsen
in his position spend their time batting and malgning labor.
This war, if there is to be a war, cannot be won by batting
labor. Mr.. Knudsen, who has devoted a lifetime to the
batting of labor, is doing a dis-service to his country and
should be restrained or removed.
Strange voices are abroad in the tDord today. There are
some auho ecould haze as become servants of the coil doc
trines of other lands and INCEST in our government the dicta-
torial poacers of those tyrants across the sea. ALL THAT
LABOR WANTS IS TO BE AMERICANS! 1t does not aOant
to be tied to the philosophy of any foreign country, nor to
become puppets of a foreign poaoer. "
Above all, labor does NOT want to take part in any inn
perialistic war for the benefit of selfish interests who wish to
derive a profit from the distress of nations.

Twenty-six per cent of all
taxes imposed by Federal, state
and local governments were i'm
1889 paid by persons whose in
comes were less than $1,000 a
year. Every dollar of tax placed
upon such incomes cut into the
standard of living Of workers
a standard far too low.
The CLIO program would elm
mate all sales tax ON food and
other necessities. IL would place
the burden of taxes on those
with the ability to pay.

All members r urged to write
to the Joint Committee on Taxa

get under way.
Philip Murray, President Of
the CLIO, has already launched a
blistering attack on the proposal
for new taxes, stating that it
places an enormous burden
upon consumers and the lower
income groups" He went ON to
say that "the Federal Govern
ment should not be In a posi-
ton of instituting wage cuts in
the guise of taxation" p
"Wage cuts by taxation in the
brackets of workers income means
less food, less shelter and less
clothing for the American people"
Murray said. .#. -.. .ssr.~.1'
CLIO PROGRAM OUTLINED
The CLIO, in answer to the
drastic tax program of the Treas
ury Department, has offered a pro-
gram based upon ability to pay
and resting "most heavily upon
those incomes, private and cor
porate, which are not productivity
employed" .. j.
The three major principles of
the CLIO tax program outlined by
Murray were: .'
I. Relief from incomes taxes
for all incomes below the 1889
exemption on $1,000 and $2,5OO,
and the lifting of, all excise and
sales taxes from commodities
that are not clearly luxury
goods.
z. No additional excise or
sales taxes and no extension Of
income taxes ON incomes below
1899 exemptions of $500 and
$1,000. lid.
J.. AL new taxes to be col
lected from increased taxes ON
high individual incomes, es-
tates, and growing corporation
profits, including taxes on excess
and undivided profits and tax
exempt securities. j
In presenting the above program
to the Treasury Department and
the Joint Congressional Commit
tee on Taxation, Murray stated
that "the burden of Federal Taxa
ton upon the working people has.
grown heavier in size and proper
ton. The proposals of the Treas
ury Department and the Joint
Committee would aggravate this
unsound condition"

The majority of the Ameri-
can people believed MIR. Roose-
welt. Others did not believe him.
Outstanding among these was
John l. Lewis, leader of the
CLIO.
Our Union is made up of people
with varied opinions on the war.
Some believe in aid to Britain.
Others believe in complete neu-
trality. One thing ALL agree on,
WE WANT THE u. S. TO STAY
OUT OF IT. III -.n
Since the presidential election,
larger and larger sections Of the
American people, and most par
Iticularly the labor movement have
with growing alarm and
apprehension the direction which
the foreign policy of the admins
tration is taking us.
First it was compulsory con-
scription. Then it was about
aid to Britain. Then the Lend
Lease Bill. Now it is conveys.
ALI of these measures were de-
signed to KEEP US OUT OF
WAR"
Now comes the admission by the
President that "CONvOYS MEAN
SHOOTING, AND SHOOTING
MEANS WAR" The direction of
the Administrations foreign policy
becomes more and more clear as
we come closer to the abyss. War
is what is in store for the Amer
lean people, RECOMMENDATION for
labor, despite any pre-
election promises.
American labor and the rank
and file membership Of the UE
are united in one determination
that this country will mot be
dragged into this war, that labor
will not be regirnented because
of its determination to protect
democracy and defend the Amer
lean Standard of Living.
