WeIders Ordered
To End Strike

WASHINGTON, Feb 16. (UP) -
The War Labor Board Friday order
ed $50 striking welders at the Todd
shipyards, Seattle, Washington,
back to work because every facil-
ity of the west coast shipyards is
required to support the efforts of
the army and navy against Japan"
The men were repairing navy des-
troyers when they struck.
WLB Chairman William H. Davis
gave the order in a telegram to
H. A. Doty, business representative
of the independent welders union.
Action on the part of any in
dividual which interferes with con-
struction and repair of navy vessels
in Seattle constitutes direct inter-
ference with the Pacific war ef-
fort" Davis said.
The welders were reported to have
walked out February 7 in protest
on discharge of six workers who
failed to maintain their membership
in the boilermakers union (AFL)
after they had been transferred
from that unions Jurisdiction to
welding jobs.

Canadians Held
Up by Growing
Maxi Opposition

PARIS, Feb. 16. (UP)-.
Canadian troops cleared a
two-mile springboard on the
south bank of the Rhine
above Kleve Friday and NOV
ed up guns and armor for a
thanking sweep across the
river into the arsenal cities
of the German Ruhr.
Elsewhere on the flooded Rhine
land front, however, the Canadian
First army offensive ground almost
to standstill in the face of savage
German opposition.
FORCED TO DIG IN
Scottish and English infantrymen
attacking south and southeast of
Kleve were forced to dig in at most
points under terrific rain of mcr-
tars and shellfire laid across the
approaches to Goch and Calcar,
twin Nazi strongholds barely 25
miles northwest of the Ruhr.
German resistance also was stiff
fening on the American Third army
front 125 miles to the south, where

hammered out a yard-by-yard ad-
vance into the west wall fortifica-
tions along the Pruem river north
of Echternach.
AID TO NAZIS
Bad weather and continuing
