42,000 MEN IDLE
London, Oct. 19..
There were new union moves to spread the London dockers' strike to the inland port of Man- chester, Hull and Southampton.
Meetings are to be held in these ports possibly today to ask dockers there to come out on strike,
Efforts to spread the strike to the key north- western port of Liverpool were only partly suc- cessful. More than 5,000 of the port's registered 17,500 dockers are out. Thirty ships are idle and 12 are undermanned.
This afternoon hundreds of men streamed back to work after hearing a speech by a leader of ́ past, dock strikes.
