London, July 1.

Britain's striking dock workers split wide open today when union leaders announced they are ordering the 18,000 wildcat strikers back to the quays on Monday, and rebellious northerners indicated they may ignore the command.

If they refuse, the acting union Secretary- General, Mr William Newmen, said, "then, the main executive is likely to resign."

Men employed in London's sprawling dockland about 7,000 -were ready to obey and end the six-week walkout.

Meanwhile, the first food shortage resulting from the strike was reported from the Midlands.
