 All but 4,000 of the company's employees are members of the unions Local 16, which issued the strike call last night, following two months of negotiations on a new contract.
 Seeks Closed Shop
 The union sought closed shop and reclassification of a number of workers. Other demands, includ- ing 12 per cent general wage in- crease. are not in dispute, union off ficials said, adding that they have offered to accept . national defense mediation board Iecommendatic1 for modified closed shop"
 The strike was the shipbuilding industry's largest since President Roosevelt proclaimed a limited na- tional emergency, union leaders said. The Federal yard Is the sec-. ond largest on the east coast The company is a subsidiary of United States Steel.
 The unions contract with the company expired June 24, but had been continued pending negotia- ttons, which started June 3.
 The company, in a statement by President l.. H. Korndorff, charged the union with violating the Allan tic Coast zone standards, which both agreed to last June. Ths agreement prohibited strikes for two years, the company said. and was ratified by the Navy department, the maritime commission and the once of Production Management.

 The union issued q statement which said. iii part:

Dutch oil embargo and possibly a joint Anglo-American guarantee of the integrity of the Netherlands East Indies, observers said. It was believed also that Britain might bring pressure on Moscow to make the Anglo Russian pact operative in the Far East thereby lining up a solid front against Japan from Aus tralia through the Dutch East In- dies, Singapore, Chungking and Vladivostok.

U. s. Britain PIedged

U. s. Britain Pledged
 Washington, Aug. '. (UP)-The United States and Great Britain have pledged war supplies to Thai- land with which to resist Japanese aggression, informed quarters said today.
 The pledge served to emphasize their new warnings to Japan.
 In parallel representations to the Thailand government, the United States and Britain urged 1t to take a firm stand against Japanese de- mands for military bases, 1t was said.
 British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Secretary of State Cordell Hull warned Japan yesterday that any move infringing the indepen- dence of Thailand would place a grave strain on Japan's relations with them.
 (An official spokesman in Tokyo rejected these warnings as "unwar- ranted and created from their own coniectures." He said Japan'S rela- tions with Thailand had been peace full and "Thailand is willing to con- tinue such relations.~
 While American aid would be limited to war supplies, it is under stood that the British had promised full military support, including troops. A Japanese thrust into Thailand would threaten British Burma and the naval base at Singapore.
 Asked at his press conference whether he had had any converse tions with or had made any repre- sentations to Thailand, Hull replied that he was not able to go into de- tails now because nothing very definite had been decided.
 He declared, however, that Japanese move into Thailand would be a matter of concern to this gov ernment, and indicated that eco homie penalties already imposed or Japan might be made more severe.

Cooneration of II. S.

Cooperation Of U. D.
 Moscow, Aug 7-(UP)-Pr Pravda, organ of the Communist party, said today that the groundwork has been laid for fruitful cooperation between the United States and Russia in the task of mutual national defense and destruction of the enemy which threatens "the security and liberty of all nations"
 "The Soviet people," Pravda said, "have greeted with unquestioned satisfaction the establishment of a groundwork for fruitful collabora- ton between the Soviet Union and the United States, based on a com munity of interests and answering the needs of the national defense of both countries"
 Germany, said Pravda, twill spare no effort to subjugate the American continent"
 It cited evidences of Nazi intrigue in the United States and South America and efforts of Germany to obtain. from the Vichy regime of France bases in the Atlantic for preparation of an attack on Amer ica."
 "The Hitlerite menace looms over the whole world" said Pravda in a lengthy editorial entitled Soviet American Relations" All freedom loving peoples who do not want to be and will not be slaves of Hitlerite Germany are rising to the struggle against her."
 Japan Is Crazy, Says Australia
 Melbourne, Australia, Aug. - (UP)- Navy Minister William Hughes said today that unless Ja- panese leaders have taken leave of their senses they must realize that their policy of aggression" gravely endangers the peace of the Pacific.
 Do they think that Australia can look on these movements which Ja- pan is making into other countries movements threatening the very foundation of the British empire and Australian interest in the Far East-and do nothing?" Hughes asked. Japanese talk of their own encirclement is idle. They now have established themselves in territories 50 times greater than Japan proper"
 Hughes was asked whether Aus tralia was considering an indepen- dent Pacific pact with Russia He replied that although Australia was a self governing dominion, circum- stances at present prevented her from making a pact with a foreign power except in partnership with the Empire.
