STRIKE UNBROKEN
Hint of Early Settlement 11,000 Dock Labourers Now Idle 1 \
(Rec. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, January 10. i The strikers, at a meeting of dele- ■ gates, decided by a heavy vote to con- • tinue the strike. Mr H. Deakin (general secretary. Transport and General Workers Union) at the conclusion of the meeting said, “ The meeting stands adjourned until to-morrow morning, when a further meeting .with the Strike Com* mitfee will take place.” He added: “ The conference will be called for 2 p.m., and I am hopeful that it will bring the business to a close.”
Many of the ships affected by the strike of the dock workers have cargoes of food from New Zealand, Australia, the Argentine, and the West Indies, says the ‘ Evening News.’ Long lines of railway wagons waiting to distribute cargoes of sheep and lambs from New Zea* land stand by empty. The National Dock Labour Corpora* tion reported that the dock labourer# on strike now numbered more than 11,000. A number of the stevedores are still working, but it is expected that they, too,, will join the strikers/
