Inquiry Into British Dock Strikes
(N.Z. Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, August 7. A Government inquiry is expected to begin this month into the dock strikes that have crippled Britain’s export programme this year. The inquiry will open against a background of dockland rumours of a national stoppage this autumn. The Government ordered the inquiry at the request of the employers, who said that nearly 3,000,000 working days had been lost in about 500 strikes since 1947. The date of the inquiry, which will be made by a panel of four industrial experts under Mr Justice Devlin, a High Court Judge, has not yet been fixed.
