 TOBREAK STRIKE
Admiral Blakeley Calls Trouble in San Diego a
 Revolt Against U. s.
BY RONALD W. WAGONER United Press Staff Correspondent,


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 San Diego, Cal, Nov. 11.-(UP)- Contractors, with the sanction of the Navy, set out today to hire work CTS to resume construction of $23,- 100000 in naval base Improvements tied up by strike of 2,164 of Amer ican Federation of Labor building trades members.
 The Navy provided a marine guard for the private employment offices where the contractors re- cruited workers. Construction af- fected included two air bases, a destroyer base, radio station and navy and marine barracks.
 Acting under far-reaching orders from the Navy Department in Wash ington, Rear Admiral Charles A. Blakely, commandant of the 11th naval district, posted 8 scale of wages to be paid the strike breakers under civil service regulations. The scale was almost identical with that existing on the projects when the strike was called last week.
 K. c. Bitter, strike leader and secretary of the local building trades council, professed to know nothing of the action of Richard Gray, act- ing president of the American Fed eration Of Labor building trades department, in declaring the strike outlaw. Gray's action was an- nomced by the Oflce of Produc- tion Management in Washington Gray himself could not be reached OPM said Gray had ordered the men to return to work.
 Leaders I'm Conference
 Bitter conferred last night with federal labor conciliators and con- ferS with them again today. Bit ter said the confereeS were making every effort" to bring about a set- clement. Admiral Blakely appar- ently was not waiting. He had termed the strike an "open revolt against the United States of Amer lea" which "the navy will take full constituted authority to suppress.
 Labor leaders," he had continued, 'have refused to abide by their na- national organizations agreement with the navy. They are now re- flying only one contractor-the United States government.
 'The constitution of the United States gives its citizens the right to free assemblage but this sacred document does not permit tndivi- duals to bludgeon the United States government and I fully intend to see that certain San Diego labor leaders do not bludgeon the United States Navy"
 The 2.164 carpenters, plumbers, electricians and other craftsmen strike to enforce demands for $1 8 day increase in wages which are from $6 to S11 a day. They say the cost of living has multiplied in this crowded, defense boom town.
 Union officials were confident the strike. There is a shortage of skilled building workers here and the union claims that what crafts men there are, are union members.

Post-War Proposals
 Adopted At Meeting
Speakers at World Government Symposium Express
 Views on Enforcing Universal Peace

The audience voted on the follow ing five proposals:
 1. An enduring world order is not likely to be established by the usual negotiations of victors with vanquished at the end of the war. Rather, a worldwide conference must undertake the task, composed of representatives of all nations which manifest a sincere desire to cooperate in setting up and in main taining & just and lasting peace.
 2. No world government can be adequate and enduring unless the United States assumes a reSponsi- ble share in the task of establish- ing and maintaining 1t.
 3. Effective world order will re- quire an inclusive international sys- tenn of government, which should government = legislative, executive. posses all the essential powers of Judicial -- with necessary 1aw-en- forcement agencies.
 4. This world government should have power to maintain order, and to regulate international trade, com- munications, and such other matters as vitally effect the safety and well fare of all peoples.
 5. A world bill of rights should be a part of any world constitution"
 Results of the voting were as fol- lows: l, 31 pro, 3 con, 3 undecided: i: 2, 30 pro, 5 con, 2 undecided; 3, 31 pro, 4 con, l undecided.
 4, g pro, 4 con, undecided; 5, g pro 2 con, 3 undecided.
 In order to obtain a wider cross section of opinion, the public is in- vited to send ballots on these pro- posals to Thomas s. Smith at the Central Y. M. c. A. MT. Avyan will speak at the next forum Thursday night, on Why I Love America"
