2A THE PALM BEACH POST FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1988 SL Some Polish strikes end; skepticism lingers NEWSMAKERS I KkMfK Los Angeles Times News Service WARSAW Solidarity leader Lech Walesa persuaded shipyard and steel mill workers to end strikes Thursday, but other strikers persisted, skeptical of the government's promise to discuss legalization of Solidarity, the outlawed trade union movement. Shipyard workers ended their occupation of the yards at Gdansk with a rush-hour procession to St. Brygida's Church. Onlookers tossed flowers and cheered at what looked like a victory. But workers voiced misgivings, even after their leaders met through the night to discuss Walesa's report on his first meeting in six years with the Communist government.

Walesa told them that his two-hour meeting Wednesday with Gen. Czeslaw Kiszczak, minister of internal affairs, resulted in firm assurances that Solidarity's status and trade union pluralism would be considered at round-table talks proposed by the government. Steel workers at Stalowa Wola, Geremek said he thought the strike at the Jaztrzebie mine would end by today. It became clear, upon Walesa's return to the shipyards after his meeting in Warsaw, that militants on the workers' strike committee were doubtful about the bargain Walesa brought them. Walesa met with the strike committee for three hours, until the early hours of the day.

After he left, union spokesmen said, the committee members talked through the night and then voted, by what was described as a narrow margin, to recommend to the workers that they end the strike. Hard-liners in the union, many of them young workers who were teenagers when the organization was formed eight years ago, believe that the government's offer to discuss Solidarity's legalization is little more than a ploy to buy labor peace. Without the continuing pressure of the strikes, they argued, the government will eventually back away from its pledge.

Mica "There is really no value for me to be there," Mack said as his motorhome cruised north on Interstate 95 for an afternoon stop in West Palm Beach. Mack's trip along 1-95, with stops from Miami to Fort Pierce, was designed to display the varied support he has built around the state and energize his troops.

Mack began the day in Miami's Little Havana with a rally at La Esquina de Tejas restaurant, a cafe visited by President Reagan in 1983.
