Strike Threatens All U. 5.
Jobs Here But One

A tieup of all Government build
ing projects in Washington except
the Gravelly Point Airport was
threatened today as more than 200
workers on the Smoot Sand g.
Gravel Corp. walked out.
An official of the Smoot concern
said the strike was the result of a
ruling of the Wage and Hour Di-
vision that dredge workers are not
seamen and are, therefore, subject
to the minimum wage law. This,
in effect, the official explained,
caused the company to order short
ening of hours with proportionate
decreases in total weekly and
monthly pay. The company, it was
said, was willing to give the work.
ers a 10 per cent wage increases
demanded, but, under the Wage
and Hour Division ruling, could
not permit the men to work as
long each day as heretofore.
Representatives of the union,
Local No. II of the Engineers
Union, an A. F. of L. affiliate, could
llOI Uc iedCllcO lOl COillIllcllI.
The Wage and Hour Division
said the ruling" referred to was
an interpretative bulletin published
in April, 1899, holding that men
engaged in dredging operations were
not seamen since, in the divisions
opinion, seamen were employed
primarily on ships used as a means
of transportation.
Among the Government building
projects threatened were the War
Department Building, the Social
Security Building and the Railroad
Retirement Building. In addition
to the Government projects many
private construction jobs were also
likely to be affected.

Just Ahead Of Torpedoed
Prison Ship
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 8.-Three hun
dred fifty British refugee children
arrived Unexpectedly on the British
liner Samaria today-18 hours after
the first contingent of II reached
New York on the Scythia-as volun-
teer workers speeded up a Nation
wide child refugee aid campaign.
Most of the newcomers were with
parents or guardians and most had
residences arranged. They ranged
from babies to teen age, the average
being about 8. Most of them had
experienced afraid alarms but none
was found who had been in an ac-
tual bombing.
The Samria left Liverpool, with
about 300 passengers, June 80, only
80 miles ahead of the Arandora
Star, the British internment ship
which was torpedoed. A destroyer
and seaplane escoring the Samaria
out to sea wheeled unexpectedly
away to go to the aid of the Aran-
dora Star.
Among the Samaria passengers
were Henri Bernstein, the French
playwright who has fought several
duels with critics, and who is an
outspoken anti-Nazi.
II lost everything in France" he
said.
Another passenger was Baron AL
phonse Rothschild of the Viennese
branch of the banking family, whose
brother Louis ransomed himself
from the German secret police after
the Austrian annexation. The bar
on, his wife and two young daugh-
ters, and two sons of his cousin,
Baron Montefiore Rothschild, were
bound for Canada.

mlttee, under the leadership of

Craftsmanship of Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, was formed as an extern
sion of the United States Commit
tee for the Care of European Chill

Bank.

By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, July 8.-If anybody
thinks the Rome Berlin Axis pow
ers are counting on Frances assist
ance in ensuing phases of the Euro
pean war they are mistaken, sources
in the know declared tartly tonight.
Germany and Italy, they said, can
settle their scores unaided and
Adolf Hitlers permission to the
French fleet to fight off the British
was merely an act of chivalry, not a
gesture of invitation to come into
the fray.
AS if to underscore this aloofness
from France, Robert Ley, leader of
the German labor front and director
of the Nazi party's political organ
ization, wrote in the Berlin news
paper Der Angriff that France, as
an aging decrepit, must definitely
yield European continental hege-
mony to youthful, virile Germany.

THE japanese were given exactly

ing a medical examination, the
American commander said.
Col. Peck reiterated that the

British Reject Demand
OF Japanese 10 Close
Burma Route 10 China
Toxic Move to Halt
Shipment Of Arms
Declared GroundIess
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, July 8.-Britain has re-
Jected Japan's demands for closure
of the route through British Burma
to war supplies for the Chinese gov
ernment. She asserted such action
would be incompatible with Britain S
commitments to Burma and India,
an authoritative source said tonight.
British Ambassador Sir Robert
Leslie Craigie today personally de-
livered the British reply to Foreign
Minister Hachiro Arita.
Sir Robert was reported to have
declared trade between the British
crown colony and the Chinese
hinterland had been halted and.
therefore. there was no foundation
for Japan's demands for the STOP
page of arms traffic by this route.
Dissatisfaction Expressed.
A foreign Office communique said
Arita expressed his governments
deep dissatisfaction" with the Brit
ish reply and urged Sir Robert to
advise London to reconsider. The
Ambassador agreed to relay this
message, the communique said.
The foreign Office made no men,
tion of another japanese request"
that British military units be with
drawn from Shanghai, which Britain
has under consideration.
Informed persons believed further
British-Japanese conferences would
seek a compromise on the Burma
route issue.
A japanese source said Sir Robert
told Arita this question had been
considered" but that it was "natur-
ally difficult" to prohibit legal trade
since Burmese and Indian products
were among the goods shipped into
China.
Closing of the route, he was re-
ported to have said, would mean
substantial losses to Burmese and
Indian merchants, which is con-
trary to British trade assurances
to those countries.

Complaints poured in from all
over the nation that Gen. Almazan's
supporters had been denied the
right to vote, and fear was expressed
in some quarters that the final

companied by further disorders.
Government officials expressed
confidence, however, there would be
no further trouble.
There were no official estimates on
the number of casualties and I'M
official figures varied greatly. Gen.
Almazan said his reports indicated

the region of so.
