GOVERNMENT TRIES
 ID END DOCK STRIKE

London, June 5.-chancellor of the Ex- chequer David Lloyd George, discussing the dock strike in the house of commons today advocated joint conciiation board composed of representatives of the em- ployers and employees and expressed the belief that if moderation was shown on both sides there would be no difficulty in reaching a settlement.
 In the house tonight James OGrady, la bor member for East Leeds, urged the government to do something to end the struggle and denounced the employers for breaking their agreements with Chan cellor Lloyd-George.
 James Ramsay Macdonald, labor mem Der for Leicester, said he was author ized to state that the men had sub stantal guarantees that the government, in conjunction with the employers. was doing something to set up a joint board immediately the men would be asked to return to work without waiting until every thing was settled.
 Andrew Benar Law, leader Of the op- position, regarded the establishment of a joint board as most desirable but in the meantime it was the clear duty of the government to guarantee protection to all men desiring to work. He taunted the ministers with being afraid to dc anything by which they might risk los ing the labor vote.
