U.K. POWER DISPUTE
Black-out May Be Outcome (N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, March 11. Widespread electricity black-outs are threatened in Britain as the result of a decision at a three-hour meeting of the trade union side of the electricity supply industry’s national joint council after the breakdown of talks on pay, hours, and holidays. Unless demands are satisfied the meeting decided to call an overtime ban and to work to rule from March 23. This means a nation-wide goslow campaign. Unofficial work-to-rule tactics at power stations during Britain’s big freeze early in 1963 caused chaotic blackouts in London Offers put forward by toe employers in the electricity industry—which is nationalised—have so far been turned down.
