Jr.sisienc by tlie government,
t trough tho emergency flet corpora
tion, that striking shipyard workers
return to work under conditions effec
tive January 21 before any action re
garding their grievances is taken, sim
:!y served yesterday to tighten the
deadlock that has developed in the Pa
cific Coast jitt.il Trades council con
ference being held here at 12t5i Fourth
street. In addition to tms the virtual
collapse of the strikes in the Oakland
illstrict. on Sun Francisco bay. where
between it and !5 per cent of the men
are reported i have returned to work,
lias weakened the cause tf the md
al d'-R'i(ates. and made the possibility
tf a n-astwi.-e strike wtill more distant. !
Jx-legales to the conference here yes-tt-day
practically determined to leave
i he action with the boiltrniakers. the
largest and most powerful individual
union of the metal trades council. They
iractically agreed, for the time being,
to follow jn line of action that the
lKiUrntukers might outline. A meeting
of local and visiting boilermakers was
tielcl last night to consider the general
situation.
This meeting. vhi-h. it is declared,
was entirely informal, is s;:id to have
declined th honor uf indicating any
plan of action. Boilermakers at Se
attle, it was said, might on their own
init iative take onie action, but there
would be nj general action of the
Tioilerniak'Ts' unions on the coast as
a whole. Most of the time was spent
