DOCKERS’ DECISION
RESUMPTION OF WORK NO VICTIMISATION LONDON, Oct. 23. The national delegates’ conference of dockers passed a resolution urging the immediate resumption of work. The conference pledged full support to ensure that there would be no victimisation. Another resolution was passed declaring that the employers’ offer could not be regarded as satisfactory and authorising the negotiating committee to continue the discussions with a view to finding an acceptable basis of settlement. The conference decided, in the event of the negotiations proving abortive, to report to the Ministry of Labour with the request that the Government should initiate the immediate action necessary to effect a lasting settlement. Soldier dockers are discharging 24 ships and loading 10 in London to-day. The port authority’s permanent civilian labour is unloading three more. The Evening News says nearly 150 ocean-going merchantmen, many carrying food, are due in Britain in the next seven days and there is not a strikefree port to which thev can be diverted.
