Want Naval Supremacy. The British proposals outdo the Hoover plan in hypocrisy, calling for an even greater scrapping of capital ships, but at the same time directed toward disarming only their imper- falist rivals while maintaining Brit- ish naval supremacy. The proposals ask for the abolition or limitation of ‘weapons, like the submarine, to which England is most vulnerable, and seek to limit the size of battleships to assure British competition with the United States in naval construction. U. S. Wants to Disarm Rivals. ‘The American delegates voiced their opposition yesterday, denouncing the British plan as “just another means of sinking Hoover's proposals.” Sena- tor Swanson, spokesman of the Amer- ican delegation declared the British plan to be an “old scheme” which ‘Washington has rejected before.

FIVE STAR SHOE WORKERS STRIKE; TIE UP SHOP Miller Strikers Greet 87 Pickets Released on Bail LONG ISLAND CITY.—The Five- Star shoe workers came down on strike Friday morning after weeks of organizing within the shop, weeks of negotiating with the boss and weeks of meeting with workers’ strategy, the boss strategy of dividing the workers. For No Discrimination They came down on strike in de- fense of one of the five demands to which the boss had agreed, and which the boss was trying to violate by ap- proaching workers individually. This is the demand of no discrimination in the division of work during this slack period. Out of the 130 workers in the shop, only about 15 are in the shop. The crew has elected a strike committee of 12 and a relief, investigation, Picketing and press committee. The significance of this strike goes far beyond the interests of the Five- Star alone. The I. Miller shoe work- ers are in their tenth week of strike, and are far from terrorized by the injunction which has been issued against them. The Five-Star factory adjoins the I. Miller, and all picketing area enjoined by the I. Miller in- junction.
