ssaur,rg which is an independent effort on his
nort 20 effect a settlement has not been referred
90 the dock directors, nor has 1t been approved
NV the Council OF Cancellation, several members
of which are out Of town.
Al to-night's conference with Cardinal Manning
Burus affirmed that the temper of the strikers
was such that it would be futile to urge the
November compromise. Referring to the Lord
Mavor's recent remark, "You are the strike"
MIR Burns denied that he could influence the vast
body Of men against their united will.
At a meeting of strikers to-day at Tower Hill
Mr.. Burns asked the men whether they would
accept the proposal for the increase in wages to
begin in November. The strikers UNANIMOUSLY
opposed the proposition.
Mr. Tillett. one of the leaders of the strike,
who founded the Dock Laborers' Union, addressed
the strikers. lie said he believed that the media
hon of Cardinal Manning between the men and
The employers would result in an early settlement
of the questions at dispute between them.
John Burns announced the receipt of number

America had forwarded sentiment and sympathy
enough to encircle the globe If committed 10

of their fellow-worlmen. He was ashamed OIL

Addressing a second meeting Of strikers, Mr..
Burns again asSailed American worlHmen for their
failure TO contribute money in aid of the strikers

were in position TO congratulate themselves, it

The directors Of the dock companies resolutely
adhere TO the terms recently agreed TO by them.
by which the wages Of the men are TO be advanced
on January /. Hitherto the directors have held
meetings twice daily. To-day only one short and
formal sitting was held, and several directors
were absent leading director, Sir Henry lie
Narchant, will resign, owing to the decision of
the board in favor of the Lord Mayors proposals.
Several dock directors were interviewed to-day
regarding the situation. They all commented on
the assertion made by the newspapers that the
companies disturbing trade, while only
small amount of money was involved III their
dispute with the strikers 1t has been alleged
that the concession ol the mems terms would cost
the companies only 10000 pounds The directors
said that this was a gross mlStake that the In
