TERM OF STRIKE
Influence Denied (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, June 21. Leaders of Britain’s striking seamen—their members split on whether to return to work—today rejected the indirect charge of the Prime Minister (Mr Wilson) that Communist agitators are responsible for prolonging the strike. Mr William Hogarth, secrotary of the National Seamen's Union of 62,500 workers, said in reply to last night's statement by Mr Wilson: “As far as I know, there is no political control over this strike.” He was almost certain there were no Communists on the union’s executive of 48 and he did not think any union branches were dominated by Communists or Trotskyites, Mr Hogarth said.
