10,000 LONDON DOCKERS OUT
MURE TROOPS WORKING SHIPS NEGOTIATIONS ON MEN’S CLAIMS (Reo. 10.20 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 18. Britain’s 35,000 striking dockers have been assured that their claims for a 40-hour week and a basic daily wage of 25s will be negotiated as arranged by their national leaders and the. employers, who are at present meeting in London.
The general secretary of the Transport General Workers’ Union, Mr Arthur Deakin, repudiated a reported statement by Mr Donovan that negotiations would be made only on behalf of dockers still working. Six hundred more London dockers are out to-day, but they are not deemed to be on strike. They are unable to work because the ships’ clerks are out. It is estimated that more than 10,000 London dockers are at present on strike, and the number of troops working the ships is increasing.
