Non Leaders Support ‘Demards for Control

“Of Manpower.

his gone much farther than the United States in controlling indus-

inst manpower by compulsion. And

in the opinion of competent ers, even its orders in council have not proven drastic enough. “hat is why. Elliott M. Little, dallar-a-year head of Canada’s selective service system, resigned, precipitating a crisis. Director Little has done successfylly several things that Americans are being told their organized labor never will stand for. He has frozen 75,000 miners and metal workers, represented by two of ‘the most touchy labor unions in” Canada; into their industry. ‘Twice he has shifted sizeable detachments of workers from less essential to more essential industries. In both instances sensitive labor union problems, were involved.

» Here's Why He Resigned He resigned because he was not given the scope of authority which be considered necessary to go even fatther in controlling workers. et, when ‘his resignation was] reported, the heads of both major labor groups issued public statements strongly approving Director Little and condemning Labor Minister. Mitchell, his adversary in the dispute. ‘Mr. Little's success, say observers ere, came from his skill in making

labor an active partner in the un-

Plgasant jobs that have to be done. This was illustrated when the International Nickel Co. of (Janada, upon which both this Dominion and the United States depend ver; largely for the strategic white me al, had to close down one of iis four smelters for lack of ore. The sudden shortage had arisen because 743 miners quit their jobs within 24 “hours, when the pay-as-jou-earn payroll deduction became «ffective for income tax purposes. Anticipating mining difficulties, Mr. Little had persuaded 2!] metal producers to form a Dominion-wide manpower planning commitice.. He informed this group that "740 competent miners must be rroduced quickly. Drafted Miners

The gold producers reali ed that

- the public would consider theirs the

least vital mining branch, So the industry committee decided to move the necessary men from the two yrincipal gold camps, Kirkland Lake and Timmins, to the nickel mines. The draft was allocated by a generally acceptable formula which required each mine to give up its

fair share,

Now, the industry commiitee ind an equal number of labor “ management -epresentatives. a meetings. of the miners were ed to tell them what was pro- , ‘and why, their own leaders supported Little's plan, and’ their own unions prepared :ind circulated literature supporting the plan. : As a result, although the nickel egipany was very unpopular with nized labor and althoiigh the sons were in the midst o' an intensive organization campiign in gold mines, the full number of in needed volunteered to go to the el mines and among tem was president of their loca! of the ited Mine, Mill and Smelter

A fierce row might have en created at shifting hundreds of’ very highly paid men to less junerative employment, d committee, however, worked fa down-grading system so that 8 men actually released were the gest paid, who would suffer least the transfer — and the only st came from local business erests, rather than from labor. . Little resigned because even powers as those he exercised Sn enable him to utilize Canadla’s manpower effectively for war

purposes. And organized labor, op- :

BANCE, Nov. 19 (Delayed) ~This afternoon we occupied Barce—“we” meaning a couple of jeeps, two

respondent. The armored cars, tanks and rest of the column came in about an hour later—held up a bit by the fact that the road that winds down the escarpment overlooking Barce and the flat fertile valley had been partially blown, Our jeeps negotiated the tricky

army photographers and your cor-|.

ledge which was all that remained of the blown road and bridge while the royal engineers were still working on it, then a three-mile run along a straight road bordered by trees. Ahead we could see the first houses of Barce but there was nobody on the road. We slowed down a bit. “Take this just in case” and a revolver was thrust in my hand. The people ahead were natives. One of them held up a white flag. They had been expecting us and grinned and laughed when we drove

up and -absentmindedly made the fascist salute in greeting. “Hey, cut that out,” the officer on the leading jeep shouted and made the V sign with his fingers. The natives caught on and shouted in glee. “Italiani, Germani?” we asked them, indicating the town. “La, la,” the Senussi answered shaking their heads negatively. Then a youth on a bicycle explained that there were 20-odd Italians and Germans at the police station.

“Come on, lead the way,” said the

British officer and the native boys

picked up the refrain, “come on, come on,” and laughed. The youth on the bicycle peddled madly into town with our jeeps following. Older native were standing around on each side of the main street. There wasn't an Italian in sight. They had been evacuated. On the town tower a white flag was flying at half mast. The youth on the bicycle scraped his feet on the ground and finally stopped before a building marked “carabinieri reali.” We piled out from the jeeps evidently looking pretty formidable with our tommy guns and pistols to| tan

The rooms where they had taken refuge pending our arrival were littered with papers, clothes and filth.
