Striking We|ders
Chart Secret Course,
Leader Reveals
Bock-to-Mork Move
Reported by Employers
After Criticism in CupituI

By the Associated Press.
TACOMA. Wash, Feb. 3.-With
employers reporting a back-to- work
move under way, idle welders Of the
Puget Sound area announced today
they would pursue an undisclosed
new course in their rebellion against
compulsory membership in A. F. l..
unions.
The change in tactics, which
Shelly Knutson, new welders' leader
at Seattle, said he could not reveal
yet, followed a stinging indictment
by war leaders of the Welders' walk
out in Seattle and Tacoma ship
yards
The statement issued yesterday by
War Production Director Donald
Nelson. Secretary of War Stimson
Secretary of the Navy Knox and
Maritime Commission Chairman
Emory S. Land branded the walkout
as an attempted impairment of the
war effort
Silent on Picketing.
Mr.. Knutson issued the following
statement late last night after q
Seattle welders' meeting
The members of the United
Brotherhood Of Welders, Cutters and
Helpers of America, once more in the
face of public opinion, to prove the
instability Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, are forced in all fu-
ture business to follow an entirely
new course.
I'VE are launching a new strategy
to prove our points on this jurisdic-
tional question"
He would not say whether picket
Ing would be continued, pending de-
velopment of the new strategy, or
whether the welders would remain
away from work.
The current stoppage was pre-
cipitated by the discharge of nine
welders In the Seattle Tacoma ship
yards here for failure to pay dues
in the A. F. L. Boilermakers' Union.
Under the A. F. L. Metal Trades
contract with shipyards of the re-
gion. good standing in A. F. L.
unions is necessary.
Controversy Over Cards.
The original complaint of the
welders was that they had to carry
cards in more than one union.
The statement issued by the war
heads at Washington asserted:
Through processes Of orderly ad-
justment this complaint was settled
to the satisfaction of a substantial
majority. Today no welder in the
West Coast shipwards or aircraft in
dustry is required to carry more
than one card
Mr.. Knutson denied that that con-
dition existed.
IF a welder has a machinists'
union card, for example" Mr..
Knutson said, "he still has to get q
boilermakers' card to work"
Asked to Repudiate Leaders.
The Government war leaders
called upon welders in their state
ment ito repudiate the leadership
which has encouraged a reckless dis
regard OF the needs4of thescountry."
Employss. the AsE.L. and'Relders'
leaders disagreed over the extent
Of the back-to-work movement.
A. F. L. officials contended about
400 welders had reported to work
in this Tacoma piants charles
Brinkerhoff, leader OF the 1880
weldersa who began the Tacoma
walkout Friday, said only IS were
counted by his observers at the
plant entrance.
A group of approximately so
welders who had been mingling
with pickets outside the corpora
tion's Seattle plant, entered the
plant in body late yesterday.
Company officials said they raised
the total to 32s, only about 10 short
of normal crew.

Rowing British Units
Fight 10 Hold Route
Across Libyan Bulge
Fourth lndion Division
Slowly Retreats Under
Heavy Axis Pressure
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 3.-Roving
British armored columns fought
on the offensive northeast Of
Msus today in q dogged effort to
hold the inland shortcut which
dominates the bulging North
African shoreline, while the 4th
Indian Division slowly retreated
through the Gebel FL Achdar
coastal range.
The British Near East commu-
nique said this division was under
heavy pressure Of enemy forces,
which apparently had been REIN
forced. The extent Of the with
drawal was not given. but yester-
day this division was said to be just
east of Slonta, about $40 miles from
the Egyptian border and 100 miles
northeast of Bengasi.
CThe Italians said they had
passed Cirene, ancient seat of
Greek culture, just to the north
and slightly east Of Slonta.)
Msus is 80 miles south OF Slonta
and slightly east. Thus while giving
way along the coast, the British
were endeavoring to hold their posi-
tions on the inland route along
which they have twice slashed in
previous campaigns to cut Of
Bengasi.
Effort to Stabilize Front.
The air force. particularly fighter
patrols. was giving close and efiec-
tive support to the Indians and also
to the rowing mobile forces attempt
ing to counteract the coastal ad-
vance, the communique said.
Apparently, the rearguard action
in the Msus area was being fought
in the hope of stabilizing q front
across the North African coastal
bulge by threatening German Mar
shal Erwin Rommel's extended flank.
1t was obvious that enforced
evacuation Of Bengasi and the area
to the east had rendered futile any
hope of smashing Marshal ROM
mels offensive by a counterattack
aimed at his left flank.
Caught Unawares.
In view of this situation, British
strategy appeared to call for a gen.
eral withdrawal which would stretch
Marshal Rommels vital lines of
communication and finally force a
showdown on ground suited to a
strong defense.
There was no disposition here to
deny that the British had been
caught unawares by the ability Of
the Germans and Italians to REIN
force their North African armies
with armored units and transport
in q short time.
