Tied by Verdict.
NO APPEAL IS PROBABLE
Trades Unionists Considering Advisa-
bility Of Carrying Issue Into
Politics

LONDON. Dec. 2O.-Yesterday's verdict
against the Amalgamated Society Of
Railway Servants FOR conspiracy in or
dering a strike against the Taf Vale
Railway Company in August. 1900. has
changed the whole Industrial situation
Of Great Britain. The defendant society,
with its war chest Of S1.25O,OOO. invest
ed in bonds. is deprived OF its power of
inducing workmen 10 break contracts
and Of coercing non-uuion men by its
picket system.
The trades unionists are naturally dis
heartened. They have considered the
sovisability OF carrying the issue into
politics to overthrow the results OF the
long litigation. ---

of the democratic press and the mutter-

feat of their party because they person
