u. ). Renews Efforts
To Settle Spreading
Strike in 5hipyards
BY the Assseiofsd Press

NEW YORK, July z.-The United
States Cancellation Serviee renewed
its efforts today to restore peace in
the embattled shipyard industry
amid indications that the spreading
strike, now involving a union-esti-
mated 10000 CIO workers, might
encompass yards on the West Coast.
Moving into the strike picture,
the Government called together
representatives of the Bethlehem
Steel Co. and the Industrial Union
of Marine and Shipbuilding Work
ers for new talks to find a formula
for ending the week-old walkout.
The summons was issued by H. r.
Colwell, regional director for the
service, after an initial meeting yes
terday between the groups failed to
produce immediate results.
Bethlehem Held to be Key.
Nine yards Of the Bethlehem
company have been struck and as
the Nations leading shipbuilding
firm it is expected that any settle
ment made by 1t would be followed
by other companies.
"As Bethlehem goes, 50 goes the
rest" was the way John Green,
president Of the union, expressed
it after the meeting.
Mr.. Colwell would not say whether
any wage increase was made by
Bethlehem.
The union has asked a 13-cent
hourly wage increase and other
benefits. Skilled shipyard workers
receive $1.38 an hour and laborers
"a cents under present contracts.
IL Yards Join Walkout.
Other developments yesterday:
l. Workers at dozen yards join
ed the walkout at 1901 am. En-
ployes ut 10 establishments struck
last Thursday.
2. Construction and repair of
ships in Baltimore came to virtual
standstill at midnight after more
than 1000 employees Of the Maryland
Drydock Co. voted to strike. The
company had offered a 7-cent hourly
pay increase, but this was rejected
by the workers. The strike vote
brought to $4,000 the number Of idle
ship workers there.
5. The union announced that 5000
members of Local . at San Pedro,
Calf, voted to strike At the repair
yards of the Todd Shipbuilding
Corp. and the Bethlehem Co. At
the discretion Of the national
president"
