U.S. MARITIME DISPUTE
Government May State Terms POSSIBILITY OF SETTLEMENT (N.Z Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 11 p.m.) WASHINGTON, June 12 The Government is ready to specify terms for a settlement of the maritime dispute which threatens to cause a strike of 20,000 maritime workers on June 15. The Government owns 2400 of the 3500 vessels in the nation’s Merchant Marine. Therefore its move is expected to end the dispute. The president of the International Longshoremen’s Association (Mr Harry Bridges), after learning of this development, said the dock labouring organisation would arrange a settlement without a strike if the Government took its place at the conference table.
