Seamens Dispute Solution Nearer | LONDON (CP) -- Leaders of Britain's striking maritime un- ion announced today they be- lieve they have found a solution to the dispute which has pro- Britain's shipping since May 15. The announcement came an pour after a meeting between seamen's union leaders and the finance and general purposes committee, the so-called inner cabinet, of the Trades Union Congress. The seamen did not disclose their proposed solution. But they said it would mean bringing to- gether the government, the ship- owners, the congress and the union. Efforts were reported under way to set up a meeting of nine members of the 48-man sea- men's executive with congress leaders tonight or Saturday morning. WITHHOLD SUPPORT The announcement came in the wake of rejection by Brit- ain's top union leaders of pleas for support from the striking Dock Strike Talks Continue MONTREAL (CP)--Attempts continued Thursday to settle the month - long longshoremen's strike in Quebec while still more pressure was applied in Ottawa for some form of intervention Federal mediator Judge Rene Lippe held talks Thursday with officials and legal advisers: of the International Longshore- men's Association (CLC), which represents the 4,250 striking dockworkers who have tied up the ports of Montreal, Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres since May 9. The Jongshoremen are seck- ing a new two-year contract with the Shipping Federation of Canada, Wages, working condi- tions and the size of work gangs are at issue, cn sO cs gressively "paralysed government | seamen, This was seen as fore- ing the union fo the negotiating table soon. The congress Thursday re- jfused to help the' seamen's un- jon -and--urged-- it strike. The TUC rebuff, coupled with an appeal from Prime Minister Wilson and a 'spark of dissent within the union, failed to budge the strikers. William Hogarth, veneral sec- retary of the union, said the seamen will hold out "forever and a day" in their refusal to sail until they get a 40-hour work-week. Hogarth said the strikers hope to bypass the TUC and he ap- pealed directly to other unions for a boycott by dockside labor which would further cripple British imports. The seamen also are counting on the support of foreign unions for their appeal to boycott all British ships abroad. APPEALS TO UNION Shortly before the TUC meet ing, the prime minister issued a statement urging an end to the} |strike and calling the recom- |mendations of a judicial inquiry which the seamen rejected Wed- nesday "a fair settlement," The inquiry formula calls for a 40-hour work week next year, with a reduction of 48 from 56 hours in the meantime. The shipping companies have ac- cepted the compromise proposal which brings the 40-hour week year closer than their best previous offer Wilson's statement, approved by the cabinet, said the govern-| ment welcomes the fact the TUC had called the seamen's union nationale executive to a meeting. TUC leaders told the seamen they are now "'on their own." The union has requested other unions to boycott foreign tank-} ers bringing in oil normally car- ried by British ships, which would cut the country's oil ports in half. They asked that British ships docking here inot be unloaded, to also jalry U.S. losses have been re- ported light overall, but. one platoon was badly mauled. U.S. planes were last reported to have flown 167 sorties in sup- port of the paratroops, units of the 101st Airborne Division's 1st Brigade. Artillery also boomed over the hills to support them. The paratroops encountered the North Vietnamese as they prow- led infiltration routes near the Lantian border. Heavy fighting was reported continuing late into the day.

Meredith, who or- iginated the "march against fear" Sunday -- and was wounded by birdshot the next day--said in New York he will be on the road again June 16 if his doctor permits. "It is my belief from the warm reception received along the road, both in Tennessee and Mississippi, that my walk may have done something to allevi- ate the heavy burden of fear which -rests upon Mississippi Negroes,"' Meredith said in a | statement read to reporters by a minister.

As Opposition leader, he planned to hold the Union Na- tionale to its campaign prom- ises and to make sure that patronage and favoritism never recur in Quebec. The Liberals would never in- dulge in "systematic obstruc- tion" or 'sterile battles for nothing,' but would introduce "a more modern and efficient concept of the role of the Op- position." Mr. Johnson said he will an- nounce the date of the next ses- sion after his meeting with Mr. Lesage and added that "the an-| nouncement will take into ac-| count the tradition that vaca- tions are always more agreeable | when one can take them with the children." START IN SEPTEMBER? This was taken to mean that the sitting would not begin until quickly than before." Paul Dozois, former munici- pal affairs minister who has acted as financial critic in op- position, said the Union Na- tionale plans to set up a com- mittee through which the Op- position would be able to exam- ine government spending plans, As a supplementary guarantee, the legislature's public accounts committee would be able to re- view expenditures already made, Mr, Lesage said the result of the election was not affected by the two separatist parties in the running, or by the fact that the election was held on a Sunday for the first time. The three factors which had caused his defeat were the elimination of patronage, which had angered some persons; "apathy and overconfidence" on the part of Liberal candi« dates and supporters; and in- dependent Liberal candidates, who drained off part of the Lib- eral vote.
