Negotiators returned to the bargaining table in San Francisco in hopes of finding a settlement of the three-monthold West Coast dockworkers strike during the weekend, About 80,000 soft coal miners were off their jobs in keeping with the United Mine Workers’ strong, no contract-no work tradition. The coal work stoppage also began Friday,forcing layoffs of hundreds of railroad workers onlines that haul coal. Talks in Washington between the Bituminous Coal Operators Association and the UMW recessed Friday and were not to resume until Tuesday at the earliest. About 45,000 dock workers at Gulf coast and Atlantic ports, represented by the International Longshoremen’s Association, were demand full 40 hours of pay a week for each man, in New York and Boston, whether or not there was work. Longshoremen in Philadelphia and Baltimore were demanding guaranteed pay for 36 hours a week under annual wage provisions won by the union three years ago. Shippers want to drop the annual wage guarantee. Talks, being held in Washington, were recessed until Monday. Talks. between the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union and the Pacific Meritime Association proceeded amid an urgency that created some optimism that the long dispute would be settled by Monday. President Nixon met with leaders of the union and the PMA last week and said they had promised to try to settle the long walkout by this weekend. "ithe Lord expects us to be different from the people cf the world,” Elder Stapley said. “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can save the world if its members will live as Saints of God should.” President Lee declared that peopleof all nations were looking “for a church which is holding fast to the basic ideals of Christianity. “They are clamoring for security or a salvation,” he added, “not just in the world to come, but for a temporalsalvation here and now, that they don’t have to die to get.” The Mormon official said organized religion in general waslosing its appeal in a world of topsy-turvy values through an unsuccessful attemptto ‘turn on with relevance.” Echoing an_ indictment against religious rock music delivered Friday by Elder Ezra Taft Benson, President Lee interjected, “We are witnessing in our own community a desecration of the name of the Master, whois being pictured in a most ridiculous way.” Only that church and people which adheres to proven principles, Lee concluded, can succeed in welding nations together in a universal brotherhood. The role of the family in causing and solving urban social problems was discussed by Elder A. Theodore Tuttle, of the First Council of the Seventy, whostated, “The responsibility rests on the family to solve our social problems,” “Nonational or international treaty can bring peace,” Elder Tuttle said. “Not in legislative halls nor judicialcourts, will our problems be solved. From the hearthstones will come the answer to our problems.” AFTER A DAY of talks with UN representatives and foreign ministers at the United Nations, Secretary of State William Rogers, left, got off in a corner at night dinner occasion to confer with U.S. Ambassador George Bush.
