Eeeeived Fridav, 8.20 p.m. LOXDOX, Jan. 17. The chairman of the port workers' defence committee said all the dockers who had been striking will return to work tomorrow. "The general relief at tlie ending- of the London haulage strike must be tempered with some anxiety about the metliods whcreby the settlement was reached," says The Times in a leader. "'While formally the men returned to work so that their claims may be reconsidered it is reliably suggested that the strikers'* leadei's were given an assurance that certain of those claims would lie met by the employers. " | The Times adds: " A'Continua-' (ion of Ihe strike. would httve beeu a most serious matter, but it may in the end prove even more serious if the workers find that by unofficial acliou thev ean secure couditious unobtaiuable by other meaus. If tltere is oue thing whieh 'ean be more damaging to tlie oi'dei'ly eonduct oi' industrial relations than an unofficial strike it is a suecessl'ul unofficial strike."
