After a long meeting the Clyde Shipbuilders! Association said it had rejected a decision of the 1,500 maintenmee electricians, who started a strike on August 2nd, to confine the dispute to the John Brom yard at Clydebank, The Association decided to instruct member firms not to engage any of the men who had struck wntil a settlement was reached, The maintenaice men had originally come out in sympathy at all the the Clydeside yards and then decided to confine the struggle. The decision of the Association was so framed as to instruct firms not to employ any of the sympathetic strikers untii the dispute in John Brown's is over. The strike is official and the issues at stake are disputes over the general application of a payment-by=| results scheme and a wage claim.
