New York July 31 All electricians who left the Brooklyn Navy Yard to join a three day strike were ordered to resume labor following a request by OPM Associate Director Sidney Hillman. The move affected 286 workers at the navy yard and aimed to end a walkout that halted defense orders and stalled two drydocks and navy expansion projects. The strike, led by AFL local 3 of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, seeks to have Consolidated Edison use local electricians on general alterations at a plant rather than company electricians. About 10,000 AFL craftsmen idle in addition to 8,000 strikers continue to affect construction and related work.
