LONDON, May 8.-tRt-Red-eyed and bedraggled, Britain's weary legislators finally gave up and went home today after an all- night, 21-hour-long sitting devot- ed to Prime Minister Attlee's con- troversial peacetime conscription bill.
 The House of Commons voted 368 to IS last night to accept a gov ernment amendment cutting draf- tees service from Is to 12 months. Winston Churchill angrily de- nounced the cut as intended to "placate" leftwing Laborites. Left wingers welcomed it.
 Then the MP's, responding to a government call for speedy enact ment, began considering the bill clause by clause on the report stage. They hadn't finished when Defense Minister A. V. Alexander proposed adjournment.

 Be End of Strike

WASHINGTON. May 8.-tR- Company and union officials agreed today to settle the strike of long distance operators for a pay hike averaging $44O a week and the government predicted a quick end to the whole coast -to-coast tele- phone tieup.
 John J. Moran, President of the American Union of Telephone Workers, said the long distance walkout would end as soon as his nine member board okayed the set clement, possibly late today in New York.
 He said his 10000 members still might refuse to cross the picket lines of other unions in the Ma tional Federation of Telephone Workers who have been off the job since April IT.
 But John w. Gibson, Assistant Secretary of Labor, and Edgar L. Warren, Director of the U. s. Con- ciliation Service, declared:
 With the settlement of this most important case, the other strikes between the Bell associated com panies and their unions should be quickly settled
 A. T. and T. is the parent cor poration of the Bell System.
 An official of the NFTW estimat- ed that 100000 of the 287,000 mem bers of federation unions who walk ed out 3l days ago are still on strike. At the peak of the tieup some 340000 workers were idle, in cluding non-members of NFTW af- filiates.

 Our population today is too scarce for statehood he said. Tn order to create the improvements, tax rates would be too great bur- den. We need roads for the devel- opment of the Territory to point sufficient for the influx of people"

 EFFORTS TO END
 HALIBUT DISPUTE

SEATTLE, May 8.-lR-In a formal statement, the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union set forth it's position today as negotiators re- stunned efforts at an afternoon meeting to settle a dispute which has idled 200 halibut fishing boats and kept some 1,200 fishermen in port since the seasons start May l.
 The distribution of shares of the catch and the payment of re- quired taxes is main point at issue. Canadian, Alaskan and Ore gon boats are already on the banks.
 The union feels that the boat share of 20 percent of the. gross stock is sufficient, as it has built up one of the largest industries in the Pacific Northwest" the unions statement said.
 The Fishing Vessels Owners Association wants the union now to pay an additional percent of the gross stocks for unemployment insurance for the fishermen. As this is an employers tax, we do not feel that we should pay this tax"
