imminent with the union mem
bers scheduled to meet to vote,
on new settlement proposals as

day.
The draft of the settlement was
presented to the body of the men
at the z a. m. meeting which has
been a daily custom during the
strike and was then taken back
into a meeting with ingalls, off
Gals by union representatives for
further discussion. The confer
ence adjourned at l p. m. and
reconvened at 2 p. m. for final
action before being presented a
second time to the membership
at a meeting called for later in
the afternoon.
Both labor and management
representatives expressed the
opinion that it is probable the
men will be back at work within
a short time. However, should
the membership refuse to accept
the proposals the strike will, of
course, continue. Pickets were
still patroling the gates of the
yard as the meetings were held.

meeting were w. r. Guest, exec

Immediately set up a picket line
but for the most part other crafts
ignored the picketeers and work
continued at practically normal
level, yard officials said. These
crafts had previously, through the
Metal Trades Council, negotiated
a new contract at the yard but
the electrical union was not a
party to these negotiations.
The strike revolved about the
unions request for an hourly
scale of $1.70 and a Union shop
agreement.
