Men Again Defy
Shipydfd Union

SAN FRANCISCO. June 21.-
Rejection OF the latest official
union order TO end the Six-week-
old machiniSts' strike in San Fran
cisco Bay shipyards was announced
today.
The order. drawn up by the
MachinistS International Council,
decreed that the 1920 striking
AFL machinists drop their wage
demands and return TO work by
midnight tonight, thereby termi-
mating dispute which. together
with that of 500 East Bay Go
machinists. has hampered more
than a half-billion dollars worth

struction.
The business agents OF Local SIS

the order last night but also re-
piled that under no conditions
would the strike terminate.

Axis May Toss
Americans Out
By MICHAEL CHINIGO
init New. serv,c. starr Correspondent

ROME. June Hints that the
AXIS may demand withdrawal of
all American citizens from the
continent Of Europe were thrown
out tonight by the authoritative
Fascist editor, Virginia Gayda,
who also suggested that an Axis
Soviet showdown is imminent.
AT the same time the newspaper
Regime Fascista called on Spain
TO collaborate with the Axis in a
possible blow against Gibraltar.
Immediate reaction was not
available TO President Roosevelt's
expulsion order for Italian con-
sular officials in the United States.
But the order was expected. in re-
priSal for ltaly'S demand that
American ConSulS be removed, and
ltaly's general attitude, was
summed up by Gayda'S charge
that Mr. Roosevelt is seeking
war"
Gayda, emier Mussolinis
Rome spokesman, wrote in Gior-
male D'Italia:
AN economic and diplomatic
war has been begun between the
United States and the Axis.
Europe will no longer he the
base OF operations for American
citizens and consular function
aries. whose presence and often
insidious activities the Axis up
to now has tolerated"

Calls Robin Moor Sinking a Flouting

BY REAR ADMIRAL CLARK IT, WOODWARD
United States Navy


Congress Friday afternoon, .Presi-
dent Roosevelt labeled the sinking
of the Robin Moor an act of piracy
and made il clear that the United
States will not yield 10 Germanys
pretensions of domination over the
high seas.
We have now reached the point
where only drastic action will
guarantee the security of our mer-
chant vessels at sea and prevent
the paralyzation of American ship
ping throughout the world. Static
defense has been demonstrated AS
worse than useless against German
pressure.
The practical problem, there-
fore, is 10 adopt the most effective
and timely steps TO meet the NaN
threat in tho Atlantic. and clear
the sea lanes which such
security depends The hour Of de-
ciSion can not be too long delayed.
