CIO Strike
 At Baltimore

A CIO strike at the Key High way Plant of the Bethlehem Ship building Company in Baltimore took place 8 short time ago.
 AS usual the Union officials aS- serted that the work stoppage was not authorized or sanctioned by the Union. Yet most significantly the case of the strike was a re- fusal by the company to discharge three members of the WelderS & Cutters Union. an Independent or ganization. who the CIO claimed were trying to recruit members from the CIO during working hours and on plant property The reason for the strike exposes the ridiculouSneSS of the claim that the CIO did not sponsor the strike as t was the only one who had any axe to grind in such a matter. know that there would be con- Stant strikes In shipyardS if other unions were to use the same tac- tics because the CIO is always de- ing the very thing it complained of in Baltimore by recruiting members during working hours. This is one of the most wide spread CIO methods of organiza- tions. Yet it appears ready to go to any limit to prevent any of its rivals or competitors from doing the same thing.
 Although Union leaders estimate that some four thousand workers had walked out. officials of the company said that several hundred stopped work.

The only previous raid on Sofia

Mitchell medium bombers. escorted
by Lightning Fighters. blasted the
Sofia rail yards and locomotive re-
rair and assembly shops.
That attack was described Of
licially as an extremely accurate"
bombing and the USAF called it
the successful opening of the Bal
kan offensive"
Cloud formations prevented ac-

Sofia. Three enemy planes were
shot down over the Bulgarian
capital when a dozen enemy fight
ers attacked the Liberators' fight

CAUGHT BY SURPRISE
The Toulon raid apparently caught
the Germans by surprise. for only
a few fighters were observed and
hey made no attempt to attack the
bombers. ne enemy plane was shot
down by the Lightning escort in
the Antheor viaduct raid.
Only three borbers were lost in
