British Dock Strikers Vote to Work Monday
London dockers, who have crippled the port for 24 days, voted to return to work Monday after a mass meeting in Victoria Park. The decision followed talks with a Canadian Seamen's Union official, who said the CSU had agreed on clear ships. The government, under a national emergency, has deployed 600 more troops, bringing total service personnel to 14,397 to handle cargoes. Two Americans and a Dutchman arriving by plane were deported for the public good, police reporting they were tied to the strike.
