Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox told grad- nates of the Naval War college to- I day that "it is utterly impossible to exaggerate the mortal danger that the country is in at this moment." Apparently pointing to France he added: "What seems to be the subjugation of a once great nation appears to have been accomplished, but new factors enter this subjugation." He told reporters earlier that he felt the country should "insure delivery of materials to Britain." Col.

Chinese today ordered evacuation of women, children and non-essential government employes from Loyang.

jobs and escort them outside the navy yard. Their permit cards, identifying for entry into the yard, are to have been taken up when they were escorted of! the cava! reservation. As described by those familiar with the issues, the walkout is due in part to conflict between the Wagner wage-hour law and the urgent demands of the national government to get defense work completed. The Wagner act calls for a 40 hour week and overtime after 40 hours. The necessities of defense construction have caused the navy department to require longer "straight time" than a 40 hour week and in this the department has been upheld by the national administration.

The result is that on different jobs, the "straight time' and "overtime' arrangements are different. On some jobs there is a workweek of much more than 40 hours as straight time that is, without overtime. Observers said today that the settlement of the issues would probably have to be in Washington, so that all workers could be put on the same general basis of straight time and overtime. Only Plumbers Out With the exception of union plumbers, all other craft union workers on defense projects were reported at work today. George F.

"Ferris, superintendent of the "five company" combine, said: "All of our employes are at work on various defense projects today, with the exception of plumbers. "I would estimate that we have employed about 100 plumbers." Mr. Ferris also said no meeting took place Thursday between officials of the "five company" combine and committees representing various craft unions. "I do not know of any such contemplated meeting," he added. Meanwhile, it was reliably reported that the local union plumbers have sent a message to the U.

S. department of lator in Washington for a ruling whether the 40 hour week Is applicable on defense projects here. An official of the "Three Company" combine also reported today that work was in progress today on their housing project at Hickam field, and only the plumbers were out. Two Honolulu plumbing companies, who have contracts on national defense projects, reported their union plumbers were not at work today. It was estimated by officials of the two plumbing companies that about 100 of their plumbers are not working.

Meeting Caned A general mass meeting of the Building Construction Trades council has been called for Sunday, from 10 a. m. to 4 p. at Central intermediate school. The reported demands of the plumbers' union include: 1.

A 40 hour work week at straight time pay, eight hours a day, Monday to Friday, inclusive. 2. Pay for all time over eight hours at the rate of time and one half the regular rate; pay for Sundays and legal holiday work time at the rate of double time. 3. A regular wage scale of $1.50 an hour.

Japan, East Indies Trade Talks Resumed ATA VI N. E. May 16. A series of renewed meetings of leader of the Japanese economic delegation and Netherlands East Indies officials were progressing today and some quarters believed they soon would terminate Japanese-Indies trade talks. It was believed that the discussions revolved around presentation of an answer from Tokyo to Dutch counter proposals to the original Japanese proposals.

Charles Savage, director of the department of labor and industrial relations said today. Reuben Ortiz, secretary of the AFL central labor council, issued the following statement today: "We have been advised by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor to exert our efforts to prevent strikes in defense projects. "The threatened walkout of construction and building workers has not been referred by them to the central labor council as yet. "The construction and building trades council was organized to expedite matters of direct interest and concern to those particular crafts and a separate charter was issued to them by the American Federation of Labor.

"The central labor council can not encroach upon their autonomy, and therefore the matter rests entirely with the construction and building trades council. "There is a possibility, however, that we may be asked to assist. Until then we are in no position to enter into the picture except by rendering all possible moral and financial aid if needed." Agreement Seen Possibilities of an early agreement were seen for electrical workers, as a result of a meeting with Mr. Ferris, according to M. B.

Keeton, representative of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. "As far as I know, Mr, Keeton said, "none of the electrical workers on defense projects at Pearl Harbor have walked off their jobs. Another meeting with Mr. Ferris was scheduled for today, according to Mr. Keeton.

May 16. (UP) Government attorneys in the Harry Bridges deportation hearing today introduced records of maritime union meetings in an effort to break down the testimony of defense witness Henry Schmidt, who testified that he did not know Maurice Cannalonga, who had testified for the government. The government read from NMU meeting records that Bridges made a motion to send a telegram to President Roosevelt regarding a strike and that Cannalonga sec-onede the motion.
