London Dock Strike Ended After 25 Days of Halt
Striking dockers in London vote to return to work Monday after 25 days of stoppage that halted port activity since June 27 in sympathy with Canadian Seamen. About 13,000 workers lost roughly £400,000 in wages, with 15,000 idle as cargoes backed up and troops guarded food ships. The Labor Minister said the cabinet would wait until Monday on the emergency status.

Texas School Land Board Opposes Tideland Compromise Points
The Texas school land board unanimously objected to five main points of a tidelands compromise bill. They argued the measure does not vest state ownership, limits boundary rights to three miles, omits court action for seaward boundaries, fails to confirm rights to marine resources, and lacks Texas legislative approval. The bill followed a Washington conference with House Speaker Sam Rayburn and other tidelands states representatives.
