Britons' 10,000Mile Trek Ends

Portuguese Shipyard Workers Dissatisfied

Lisbon, Apr. 8,

The government today officially charged Communist elements with responsibility for the "semi-strike" which has hampered shipyard work at Portugal's principal ports for over a week.

The workers have not formally struck, which is for- bidden by law, but they have refused to work more than eight hours daily and refused to work on Sundays and holidays. They also reduced the tempo at which, they worked.

Their action was in protest against rejection of their de- mands for increased hourly pay, pay for overtime and increased rations.

They said they were not receiving enough food to give them the strength for extra work or to maintain normal productivity, the government com- munique sald.
