FIGHTING FLARES

A dispatch from Edward w. Beat
tie. United Press correspondent with
the British First army, said fighting
flared up suddenly on Tuesday when
the Germans made a reavy counter
attack on the British advancing
along the road from Beja to Ma
teur, north of the Medjez Ell Bah
front.
The Germans poured mortar fire
into the steadily advancing British
forces just below Sidi Nsir and then
sent wave of infantry charging
down frim the hills against the
British left flank The counterat-
tack halted the British advance but
was not regarded as serious threat
at present.
A similar counterattack was made
by the enemy in a valley to the
east, where British infantry, which
was just taking up a position, was
driven back The British counter
attacked and recaptured the posi-
ton. inflicting casualties.

SLOW PROGRESS

The British Eighth army. aided
by First army units, apparently was
making slow progress toward the
enemy's defense line in the Enfida-

que said Rommel's prepared posi-
ticns had been reached between En-
fidaville and the Djebel Bou Had
jar, a hill southwest of Enfidaville
on the grand dorsal east of the.
Ousseltia valley.
A message from the front at
noon today said, we have no
knowledge that Enfidaville has
been captured
French forces had previously con-
tinued to make local advances in
the mountains east of OusSeltia,
mopping up enemy rear-guard posi-
tion on Rommels right flank to
facilitate the advance against En-
iidaville.

HE POSTWAR WORLD

The hold-your-job campaign received large measure
OF encouragement from addresses by labor leaders at the
Victory Rally in the Boston Arena last Sunday The
problem of postwar employment develops from the pos
sby that when the ends resurgence of racial pre-

jobs in industry Already among coored war-workers
there exists strong conviction that they hired now
only because of the necessities of the war; that they will
not be wanted any longer than the lasts It is point
ed out that racial discrimination becoming holder
Allied victory begins to appear certain.
In his address at the Arena meeting Vice President
Richard Frankensteen of the United Auto Workers. CLIO
said
"The UAW-CIO has learned, through bitter strug-
gle that discrimination against coored people goes
hand in hand with oppression of all labor We learn
ed that to win rights free citizens of the
United States first had to be that the rights
Af all minorities in midst equally secure In
Me first great st-down strike at Midland Steel Cor
poration in Detroit effort made to divide the
coored from the whtes-that effort failed and all
other efforts to break ranks by this meworn de-
vice have also failed 1t is with great pride that
Union points to the complete absence of any disturb
riots within the great plants in Detroit
during the Instruction which occurred there last
month. In an otherwise dismal and disgraceful per-
od in history, that fact stands out as great
beacon and hope for the future"
eve Americans have been accused of being po-
tical ignoramuses. But we're learning, through ex-
perience, who enemies are, both at home and
abroad. They united our enemies are, in want
ing to prevent the smashing of fascsm. But neither
the coored people the labor movement will forget
the salient feature which determines all of actions
today, namely that this is and we intend to

President Joseph Salerno of the Massachusetts, CLIO
was direct in his declarations in behalf of fair play
for colored employees eve in the CO." he exclaimed,
twill see to it that coored workers will hold their jobs

To ensurethat present employment will be carried over
into the postwar period it advisable to all
coored workers to join labor unions wherever possible to
do so. Fahfulness the job and superior workman
ship will be taken into account by fairminded employers
But recognition by labor unions that oppression of all Ia
Dor bound up with color discrimination holds out strong
hope that white and colored workers become more
united they will make quicker Roadway toward the real
