into private session today with em- ployer and union heads. CABINET CALLED

Labor Minister Sir Walter Monckton spent 20 minutes with Prime Minister Churchill on the strike situation. Then it was an- nounced that a cabinet meeting would be held today. Observers said it would be "quite wrong to interpret the meeting as an indica- tion that the calling out of troops was imminent.

The likelihood of bringing in troops "seems to have receded a little." a government official said.

Earlier Thursday tug workers at Southampton, in a gesture of loy- alty to the Queen Mother, eased the liner Queen Elizabeth out of the harbor as it left carrying her for a month's visit in the United States and Canada. COMMUNIST SUPPORTED

The walkout developed over a demand by dockers for the right to reject overtime work. It has the enthusiastic support of Brit- ainls Communists.

Only some 11.000 strikers-mem- bers of the National Amalgamated Stevedores and Dockers Union (Ind.)-have backing of their union leaders. The 33.000 others joined the stoppage in wildcat moves against the a p pe als of their huge Transport and General Work- crs Union officials.

London-26.500 on strike with 166 ships idle.

Hull-3,000 out with 2i ships idle.

Southampton--2,000 out with al- most 30 ships idle Liverpool and Birkeiihead-12; 000 out with 87 ships idle. Garston-735 out with 25 ships idle. Rochester-I90 men out with five ships idle.
