SUNDAY INDEPENDENT 37TH YEAR, NO. 12—40 PAGES CRUSHING LAST NAZIS STALINGRAD TRAP The Mines MustWork If the order of the War Labor! Board fail, to aend the mineral back to work on Monday, it is ab¬ solutely essential that the govern¬ ment step in to get the mines once' more in production. There is no time to lose in giving again to thej nation the anthracite that has be¬ come a vital part of the war effort.' There is no time to lose if anthra-j cite is to regain some of its old < markets—rkther than to lose also tiiose it has so far managed to re-' Uin. I • That the miners would go back| immediately—t o d a y—Sunday— if Assured government operation, is eertain. Becauae back of all the preaent trouble is the fact that the^ union miners have lost all faith in' their union leaders. The present gtrike is purely a union affair that ahould ha^'C l>een .settled by the union leaders. However, these leaders, having lost the faith of the men, are helpless. Under existing machinery for the aettlement of lalrar disputes no other result could have come from the Waahington conference than to direct the .striking mine workers to return to the collieries pending the orderly adjustment of griev- ancefi thet have caused the rank •nd file to become embittered i •gainst leaders who have ceased to give them loyal and unselfish! representation. I I Until after the meethigs that have bc«n called by the officials of the colliery local.s, the public muat remain in a state of suspense, but the hope is universal that the men will favorably respond to the wishes of Washington and return to their positions and patiently •wait the outcome of the negotia¬ tions for a final settlement, this for no other reason than the onej •nd only answer that ean be made to the call of patriotism. The nation is at war and the product of the anthracite mines is •orely needed in the war effort, to •ay nothing of the vslfish view¬ point which, as a result of the fuel oil shortage, give, anthracite the firat real opportunity in years to Hope for settlement of the mine Win back the markets it lost strike against the increase in unioni"; J'"""'' '""r''"" ';;¦-- r^^^ through the ill-advised winter' dues, which has kept nearly 20,000 Japanese airciatt, damagea Strike, I workers from the jobs while the three destroyers and left a nation's fuel supply grows low, rests | (,a,,gQ g^ip burning after scor- »». , * • . 1 . 1.

(UP)- The arrival of a 66-ahip Allied con¬ voy in North Africa was reported today by Radio Morocco, which at¬ tributed the announcement to Ad¬ miral Sir Andrew B. Cunningham, Allied North African naval com¬ mander. The convoy pa.ssed safely through watera infested with submarines and encountered SO on ita journey, according to Radio Morocco, which said Cunningham revealed that other convoys were reaching Malta from both east and west, greatly relieving the iaiand'a situation. Since the Allied invasion in Nov ember, the radio said. 1,000 Allied ships have reached North Africa, with losses of less than three psr cent.

By HENRY' SHAPIRO Moscow, Jan. 17 (Sunday) (HP)—Soviet troops threatened today to annihilate all Axin troops encircled west nf Stalin- grad. where the pocketed garrison has been reduced by 120,000 or more men. A special Soviet communique disclosed that the German commander of the garrison had refused a Russian ultimatum for its surrender. The encircled troops once were estimated at 200,000 to 220.000 men, the communique said, but now number between 70,000 and 80,000. The communique reported that the Russian.s started an offensive last Sunday, Jan. 10, and had advanced 12 to 21 miles, tightening their noose about the Germans to the strangulation point. In the last seven days, it said, 25,000 enemy troops have been killed. The pocketed garrison'* plight was made mor*; severe by the fact that 600 German transport plans, beanng supplies and ammunition to them, had been shot down Betwten Nov. 19 and Jan. 10.

CRUSHING LAST NAZIS
STALINGRAD TRAP
The Mines MustWork
If the order of the War Labor! Board fail, to aend the mineral back to work on Monday, it is ab¬ solutely essential that the govern¬ ment step in to get the mines once' more in production. There is no time to lose in giving again to thej nation the anthracite that has be¬ come a vital part of the war effort.' There is no time to lose if anthra-j cite is to regain some of its old < markets—rkther than to lose also tiiose it has so far managed to re-' Uin.
I •
That the miners would go back| immediately—t o d a y—Sunday— if Assured government operation, is eertain. Becauae back of all the preaent trouble is the fact that the^ union miners have lost all faith in' their union leaders. The present gtrike is purely a union affair that ahould ha^'C l>een .settled by the union leaders. However, these leaders, having lost the faith of the men, are helpless.
Under existing machinery for the aettlement of lalrar disputes no other result could have come from the Waahington conference than to direct the .striking mine workers to return to the collieries pending the orderly adjustment of griev- ancefi thet have caused the rank •nd file to become embittered i •gainst leaders who have ceased to give them loyal and unselfish! representation. I
I Until after the meethigs that have bc«n called by the officials of the colliery local.s, the public muat remain in a state of suspense, but the hope is universal that the men will favorably respond to the wishes of Washington and return to their positions and patiently •wait the outcome of the negotia¬ tions for a final settlement, this for no other reason than the onej •nd only answer that ean be made to the call of patriotism.
The nation is at war and the product of the anthracite mines is •orely needed in the war effort, to •ay nothing of the vslfish view¬ point which, as a result of the fuel oil shortage, give, anthracite the

London. Sunday, Jan. 17. (UP)- The arrival of a 66-ahip Allied con¬ voy in North Africa was reported today by Radio Morocco, which at¬ tributed the announcement to Ad¬ miral Sir Andrew B. Cunningham, Allied North African naval com¬ mander.
The convoy pa.ssed safely through watera infested with submarines and encountered SO on ita journey, according to Radio Morocco, which said Cunningham revealed that other convoys were reaching Malta from both east and west, greatly relieving the iaiand'a situation.
Since the Allied invasion in Nov ember, the radio said. 1,000 Allied ships have reached North Africa, with losses of less than three psr cent.

Moscow, Jan. 17 (Sunday) (HP)—Soviet troops threatened today to annihilate all Axin troops encircled west nf Stalin- grad. where the pocketed garrison has been reduced by 120,000 or more men.
A special Soviet communique disclosed that the German commander of the garrison had refused a Russian ultimatum for its surrender. The encircled troops once were estimated at 200,000 to 220.000 men, the communique said, but now number between 70,000 and 80,000.
The communique reported that the Russian.s started an offensive last Sunday, Jan. 10, and had advanced 12 to 21 miles, tightening their noose about the Germans to the strangulation point. In the last seven days, it said, 25,000 enemy troops have been killed. The pocketed garrison'* plight was made mor*; severe by the fact that 600 German transport plans, beanng supplies and ammunition to them, had been shot down Betwten Nov. 19 and Jan. 10.

The communique also diaeloaed that the Red Army had opened another smashing offensive from its positions south of Voronech and had advanced 81 to 55 miles in three day^ capturing the important center of Rossosh on the railroaa
