The strike was finally settled yesterday afternoon. The terms provide for the payment of wages up to the time of the refusal of duty, and for the men to start again with a clean sheet. No wages will be paid for the time they remained on strike, and there is to be no victimisation or fines. The men will be absorbed as the ships offer. Those failing to be absorbed are free to make application for return home as distressed seamen.
