OFF STRIKE Back To Work Today

New York, Feb. 20.

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.

Members of the independent International Longshoremen'a Association decided to end their six-month-old labour dispute and Baltimore shippers decided to drop their objections to a basic "master contract" covering all North Atlantle ports.

Ready To Start

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.
