GREAT STRIKE LIKELY
Railroad Employees Of the United
Kingdom Ordered Out.
RESULT WILL BE SERIOUS
General Tieup Will Paralyze Industry
and Starve Out Inhabitants of
the Interior Cities.

London, Nov. 1.-The executive
committee of the Amalgamated Soci-
city Of Railway Servants has adopted
a resolution to call a general strike.
k9hs resolution says:
"The conference of representatives
OF the railway men Of England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales, realizing
the grave responsibility involved in
the declaration of a national railway
strike, regrets that the arbitrary re-
ffusal of the railway companies to
meet the accredited representatives
9f the men, ever to discuss a settle
ment by friendly negotiations, leaves
40 other course open but to carry out
The mandate Of our members, as dis
closed in the result of the ballot, and
we therefore recommend that the eX-
ecutive committee issue notice to the
papers and to the whole railway serv-
Ice"
Richard Bell, M. P, general secre-
tary Of the Amalgamated Society of
Railway Servants and leader of the
Strike movement, said as to the effect
of the resolution:
ut means all that it says. Not only
the members of the society but every
anan engaged in the railway service
in the United Kingdom will get no.
tiee. We took the opinion of our
members and, knowing that and
knowing also that thousands of men
outside the society are in sympathy
with us, we resolved to call on every
one to come out"
Dispute of Long Standing.
The British railway employees and
the companies have been at logger.
heads for some time on the question
of recognition of the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants and a
new scale of wages and hours and
finally it was decided by the en-
ployes to reach a decision by ballot
Of the members Of the society.
Richard Bell, M. P, general secre-
tary of the Amalgamated Society of
Railway Servants, in a recent address
to a large body of railway men at
Cardiff, said that a strike would be a
terrible calamity and that the society
Intended to exhaust every means to
reach a peaceful solution of the trou-
BILE.
The council of the Railway Com.
pennies association, in it's reply to the
men, pointed out that the council had
no power to appoint representatives to
meet the delegates of the unions. as
proposed, and discuss questions which
affected the relations between individ.
ual companies and their employees.
The seriousness Of a railway strike
in the United Kingdom is difficult to
overestimate. 1t not only will para
lyze the industries, but soon will
starve out the inhabitants of all the
Interior cities of England, where
there are only a few days food sup
plies on hand.

assist him in unfolding the law of the

law a fair trial.
eff after a fair trial the rates are
found too low" said Governor Glenn,
though in my judgment it will be
found they will increase receipts, then
the railroads may rest assured that
the state will do what is right. ap-
peal to the railroads to stop their liti.
cation, which will result in no good
to them or the people, and let us all
await results until the next meeting
of the general assembly.

 lose himself in the welfare of others.
 He held before himself high moral
 ideals. which he always strove to reach.
 and through his cordial, friendly con-
 tact with other lives he brought these ideals as possible attainments to them. A large part of his best energy went
 to the church. which he served in every in the law of the Lord" !" whether hear ing it set forth in the Sunday preach ing or studying it in the Sunday school or meditating upon it at the prayer
 meeting. Nor did he neglect the social l side of church life. but regarded it ev-

 of friends and wherever he was known
 he was known to be loved The sym pathy of host of friends is now ex- tended to his bereaved family. which | consists of a wife and two small chil- | dren. His call was sudden but he was prepared and of him it may well be said: "He is not, for God took him."
