C, May 21 (CP) A large part of British Columbia's log-towing fleet may be forced Into idleness as a re sult of the seven-day-old strike of 37,000 loggers which contin ues to spread. However, moves to settle the strike were expect ed in union and company circles today. One company's entire towing fleet is tied up and others will be effected when the last logs from strike-bound logging camps have reached Vancouver. How ever, there have been no layoffs and towing operators said they were hopeful of finding other work during the next week.

Federal Deputy Labor Minis ter Arthur MacNamara said in a telephone interview with the Vancouver News Herald last night that the department was keeping in close touch with the situation and "we are anxious to get them back to work at the earliest possible moment." "I am not saying that no steps have been taken," Mr. MacNamara said In a reply to a question.
