THE GENERAL"
HEARS THE CALL

According to a report in the
papers this week. Col. M S. Bat
tie, known in this neck Of the
woods as General Battle, has
resigned as head of the Divisio on
of Motor Vehicles and gone back
to the army.
The announcement that Col.
Battle had been ordered to &C
tive duty was made in Richmond
Monday 1t answers a question
that many have been asking,
since the advent of the Darden
administration was followed by
replacement of many Price ap-
pointees, making it evident that
the Colonel would not continue
in his present office after the ex
piration of his term.
He is described glowingly as a
natural born soldier, and is a
veteran of the Spanish Ameri-
can war, the World War and the
Battle Of Clinchco. For the fist
time in the history of the coun-
ty, the civil liberties of the peo-
pie were suspended by this same
Colonel.
May he travel far, stay long,
and do educational work
among the Japs instead of the
people of this county.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN
DONE. Mr.. MtNUTTi
(FOurth of a Series

An administration spokesman Thurs
day voiced what evidently was intended
as a back-handed threat to force cooper
alton with the vicious federal labor poll
cy, but what actually was a promise-if
we could depend upon its being carried
out.
The spokesman was Paul Y. McNutt,
one of the Presidential heirs-apparent,
chairman of the federal war manpoWer
commission. He urged that al employees
recruit their worker through the federal
employment service, and then said:
Il should like to emphasize that inso-
far as it is possible to insure tke full
and effective utilization of our manpoWer
through voluntary cooperation with the
government, it will be unnecessary to put
into effect legal controls which will in
evitably limit the freedom of action of
workers and employers alike
Mr.. McNutt did not mention labor un-
ions. He NAV not even have been think
ing of labor unions at the moment. But
in light of the federal labor policy we
have seen demonstrated in Imperial Val
lev. on the Seeley airport and INLAND
marine camp projects, he might as we'll
have said:
"Unlass workers Join unions so that
they can work on war projects, and un-
less employers hire union labor through
the employment service, the government
is going to have to draft all labor accord
ing to skills."
He might as we'll have said that, be-
cause the cooperation with the govern
ment," of which he speaks, is virtually
impossible for any non-union laborer, or
any employer wishing to hire non-union
man.
So we say Mr.. McNutt's threat is ac-
tually promise; we hope that not even
the administration could forcibly draft
workmen, and then force them to join
a labor union before they can receive
a paycheck.
Mr.. McNutt says legal controls would
''inevitably limit the freedom Of action
of workers and employers alike"
We say their freedom is already limit
ed in the most vicious way possible. For
workers, it is limited by the federal gov
ernment's requirement that war contracts
be performed by union labor For en-
ployers, it is limited because no one who
does not hire union labor is given more
than an outside chance to obtain war
contract.

IISIIN'
GUNS ABANDONED

The Russian noon communiquc,
reporting this success, said:
I'm the Kharkov direction our
forces drove the enemy from a
strongly fortified inhabited point
The retreating Germans left behind
live field guns, II machine guns, a
depot of mines and a wireless trans
mitting station"
Disclosure that the captured posi-
ton was IAN inhabited point" and
that the Germans left a wireless
tranSmitter there made it evident
that the Russians had captured one
OF the villages or small towns which
the Germans had converted, house
by house and street by street, into
independent fortreSseS as keys to
their defense line.
The wireless transmitter indicated
that the position was a German
headquarters.
The communique said Red army
troops throughout last night con-
tinued to fortify themselves in oc-
cupied positions while others con-
tinued the great Russian offensive
against Kharkov, and it noted that
despite German claims fighting still
continued in the eastern part of
the Kerch peninsula of the Crimea.
1t was the 18th day of a Russian
offensive which continued after the
Red army had broken in its stride
a determined enemy counterdrive in
the Izyum- -Baryenkovo sector on its
left flank.
