The last stumbling blocks to settlement of the East Coast dock strike were removed and 45,000 longshoremen will return to work tomorrow morning, the Federal Mediation Service an- nounced.

Announcement of the end of the strike was made by Federal mediator J. Andrew Burke here. He said William Bradley, presi- dent
of the Longshoremen's Union, had informed him that a settlement had been reached in Baltimore and that long- shoremen all along the const were ready to start heaving londs again.
Bradley said his men would go to work without voting on the new three-year contract. They will vote on the contract after they return to work, he said.
