 wise to Strike.
ACTION OF THE UNIONS
Some of Those Rebuked That Wanted to Wipe Out All Grievance
 for Labor.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Director General Piez of the Emergency Fleet Corporation says in the shipyard strike the Governments policy will be to let jobs stand.
 He referred to the Seattle strike and the San Francisco situation The men expect to strike in the latter needed a breathing spell, and he did not think the Government would con tinue to furnish work at extremely high wages, unless the skill of the workers and the output justified such.
 He declared that the shipyard workers were unwise to call strike under the existing scale of wages.
