Prospect for End of Strike Appears Fine
A joint statement by Seattle steel shipyard owners said yards will not open Wednesday as union officials from eight international unions meet government representatives led by Piez. Government and yard officials formed a special committee to study the strike while eight international officers arrived in Seattle. Machinists endorsed the Metal Trades council and urged those who refuse to return to work to parade past the yards with flags. Hope Lodge machinists voted to stay away from the yards when they reopen Wednesday at 7 30 a.m.
