SETTLEMENT PROBABLE
MARITIME WORKERS’ DISPUTE GOVERNMENT INTERVENES (Rec. 10 p.m.) WASHINGTON, June 12. The Government is ready to specify terms for a settlement of the dispute which threatens to develop into a strike by 200,000 maritime workers on June 15. The Government owns 2400 of the 3500 vessels in the nation’s merchant marine, and therefore its move is expected to end the dispute. Mr Harry Bridges, after learning of this development, declared that the labouring organisation would arrange a settlement without a strike if the Government took its place at the conference table.
