LONDON, Nov. 2.--The prospects that
the president Of thte board Of trade.
Lloyd-George, may be able to avert the
general railway strike by arranging a
compromise were brighter today.
A full meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Amalgamated Society Of
Railway Servants was held this morning,
and it was decided to postpone all action
on yesterdays resolutions in favor Of a
strike until after the conference to take
place with Mr.. loyd-George on Novem-
ber 8, to which he has invited the So
ciety to send representatives.
Richard Bell, M. p. general secretary
of the society and leader of the strike
movement, probably will head the dele
cation.
A meeting of the parliamentary COM
mfttee of the trades union was to have
taken place next Monday and a joint
meeting of this committee with COM
mittee representing the general fedora
ton of trades unions and of the Labor
party had been arranged for next Tues
day, but Mr.. Bell has written to the
secretary of the first named organization
suggesting that the meetings be post
poned, adding: lowing to a change Of
circumstances I do not think 1t will be
necessary to call them together at this
stage"
This is regarded as significant step
because the two meetings were to have
| been considered in order to support the
railway men IL they went out on strike
plans for Peace
| The circumstances to which Mr.. Bel
referred are:
Mr.. Lloyd-George's invitation to the
conference of November 6.
| The plan of the president of the board
of trade.
The board of trade Is to form a perma-
nent board of coneiliation. with an equal
number of representatives Of the COM
panies and of the men, and having an in
dependent chairman. The railroad d.
rectors apparently are willing to adopt
the plan, but the question arises whether
| the men, having demanded complete
recognition Of their unions and direct
dealings between the men and the man
ayers of the roads, will accept such a
substitute.
| The partisans of the railways refer to
Yesterdays resolution as being bluff.
intending to frighten the railway mag
mates, and the supporters of the union
saw the atmosphere has cleared for action
and that while 1t has not actually de-
clared war; 1t has given its executive
mandate for war.
Public feeling against the strike is so
strong that the men are bound to go
slow so long as the companies show any
disposition to arrive at a compromise ar
rangement.
The railroad men will hold mass meet
ing at Albert hall here on Sunday nignt
and deputations from all parts OF tne
United Kingdom will be present

Cure for Drunkenness.

There is a famous prescription in
use in England for the cure of
drunkenness, by which thousands are
said to have been assisted in recov-
ering themselves. The recipe is as
follows: Five grains of sulphate of
iron. ten grains of magnesia, eleven
brahms of peppermint water and one
drahm of spirit of nutmeg. Dose,
teaspoonful twice day. to be taken
in water. This preparation acts rs a
tonic and stimulant, and so partially
supplies the place of accustomed
liquor, and prevents the absolute
physical and moral prostration that
follows a sudden breaking off of the
use of stimulating drinks. The

Does alcohol meet the require

There are those who claim that
the liquor traffic with its annual in

Is the advance agent OF prosperity.
IL this be true. wherever alcohol is
most consumed we should find the
greatest prosperity The contrary is
averred by the closest and most COM
petent students OF social and politi-
cal science.
Since 1896. the per capita con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages has
increased so per cent. During 1904
and 1905, the American people con-
rumed more alcoholic beverages per
capita than IN any preceding years of
their history.
Coincident with the increased
consumption OF drink has been an
increased number of defective mem
hers of society More business men
are breaking down early ia life.
There are more suicides, more homi-
ciles. more paupers. and more
crowded iails. We are assured by
competent legal authority that the
increase in crime Is IN direct pro-
portion to the increased consump-
tion of alcohol.
