British RAILWAY
STRIKE IMPENDS
UNION VOTES TO CALL ONE AND
OUTLOOK IN ISLANDS is
VERY GLOOMY.
Lloyd-George Is Active-Some Hope
That Board of Trade President May
Avert the Trouble - Railroads
Blame Socialism.

London, Nov. notwithstanding
the powerful influences that have been
at work for some time past in the
hope of averting trouble in the Brit
ish railroad world, there seems to be
but little probability of preventing
strike which will have the most seri-
GUS consequences to the travelling pub
lie and the men and companies in
volved, as well as to commercial in
terests generally.
The action taken Friday by the
executive committee of the Amalga-
mated Society of Railway Servants,
in passing resolution to call a gen..
eral strike, leaves little or no hope for
favorable outcome. This society al
ways has been looked upon as one of
the most conservative of the labor
unions, and it's leader, Richard Bell,
M. P, has been noted for his efforts
to prevent strikes and for his utter
ances in favor of the rights Of capital
as we'll as the rights of the working
man. Consequently the resolution is
not taken lightly, and in view of these
declarations and the determined stand
taken by the society since the griev-
ances Of the men were first voiced, it
does not seem likely that the men
will withdraw from their present posi-
tion.
Won't Recognize the Union.
While there is long list of alleged
grievances, the principal one has
turned on recognition of the union,
and this the railroad companies, whose
chief spokesman is Lord Claud Hamil-
ton, are determined not to concede.
The general strike, however, under
| the rules of the society and the re-
! quirements of the law, cannot take
/! place for some weeks. In the mean
time there is a remote hope that the ef-
forts of David Lloyd-George, who, with
the influence Of his high position, as
! president of the board of trade, has
been working strenuously to bring
j So far, Mr.. Lloyd-George's admitted.
ly great energy in this regard has
been unfruitful, but in q speech Fri.
day night he declared that he would
keep on trying to bring peace with
) honor to both parties. His earnest
ness is indicated by the announce
ment that he will call into consulta
ton representatives of the Amalga
mated Society of Railway Servants in
the hope of bringing employers and
employees into line, thus placing him ir
the position of conciliatory arbitra
tor, whose function it will be to heal
both sides.
Employers Blame Socialism.
The railroads charge that the pres
ent agitation is due to the growth o.
socialism and curiously enough, while
this idea was being voiced by Lore
Claud Hamilton Friday night in {
declaration that socialism was FIRE
ligious and immoral in its teachings
Mr.. Lloyd George was averring ii
his address that socialism was Il
!. bogey of to-day introduced to frightel
the unwary" and that there was NJ
danger but certain advantage ii
socialism insomuch as it stirred tn
people to think"

audience at the back-a shuttle which
stopped instantly when the steely
glance Of policeman darted in that
direction.
At last the magistrate seemed to
make up his mind to definite course
OF action.
There is only one person present"
he said, who can throw light on this
extraordinary case, and that is the boy
himself"
He looked at Philip. and all eyes
quickly turned toward the thin. ragged
figure standing upright against the rail
that shut him of from the we'll OF the
court. The professional people present
noted that the magistrate did not al

What was going to happen? Was
this destitute urchin going TO leave the
court with diamonds in his pocket
worth $4,000? Oddly enough. no one
paid heed to Philips boast that he
owned far more than that amount. II

This outburst fairly electrified the
court. Philip could not have adopted
a more domineering tone were he the
governor of the Bank of England
charged with passing a counterfeit half
crown. The magistrate was as sur
prised as any
Il do not wish to argue with you"
he said quietly, nor do l expect you
to commit yourself in any way, but
you must surely see that for a poverty
stricken boy to be found in possession
