London, May 26—-A_ general; strike in the shipbuilding in- dustry is threatened within the next few weeks the present sil- uation being regarded as critical in the extreme. The of a general cessation has been realized for several months but during the last week or two the men have shown that they are more determined than the great majority of the employ- ers imagine. The various trades directly concerned in the strike are of eleven societies, all signatories of the national shipbuilding agreements, and the Boilermak- ers’ Society. Should a strike be declared the shipyards of course would be closed, and many other trades affected. On Tuesday the boilermakers will meet the Em- ployers’ Federation at Carlisle to discuss the situation. The men ask for an increase of 2% per cent,, and have already voted for a strike if the demands are not complied with. Since 1911 when the rush of orders set in there have been three increases of five per cent. each, and recently all the ship- yard unions put forward a de- mand for another inerease. possibility of work It is regarded as almost cer- GENERAL STRIKE IN ENGLAND MAY CLOSE ALL THE SHIPYARDS SITUATION REGARDED AS CRITICAL VAST AMOUNT OF ORDERS FOR WARSHIPS AND COMMERCIAL VESSELS IN THE EXTREME—A a considerable majority in favor of a strike.

As a rule port authorities prohibit vessels from lying alongside wharves or dock- explosives on aboard before Brit- ish armed could violate these rules, the permission of a great many authorities of sever al nationalities would have to be obtained. The Port of London has particularly stringent regu lations in this respect, for ves sels have to discharge even rock- vessels iets and blue lights before dock ing.
