For all you good souls who fish

method Of getting them without

Britain Delays Action
In London Gas Strike
BY the Associosed Press

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The Labor
government marked time today
before sending sailors to work
London's gas plants, idle for three
weeks under an unofficial strike
of 1,400 maintenance men.
Forty six workers went back to
their jobs at Southend today, but
London's housewives faced an
other cold-meals week end as
most of the strikers refused to
follow their unions appeal to re-
turn to work. -....
The strikers protested that 10
of their leaders are being victim
lied by the government. The 10
were summoned to answer charges
that they broke two British laws
on work in public services by fos-
tering the three-week-old strike.
In another London labor dis
pute, more than 400 printers
were out of work. Most of them
were dismissed by employers for
refusal to abandon union orders
to refuse overtime and work
strictly to rules.
Unless this dispute is quickly
settled, many of London's so
weekly magazines and a number
of suburban newspapers will be
unable to publish this week.
The London Society of Com
positors, representing the workers,
told some 200 print shops it
would order a strike unless agree
ments were signed guaranteeing
q minimum wage of f8 ($22.40)
per week.
