TROUBLE BREWING
BETWEEN FORCES
England Faces Biggest Struggle
Capital and Labor Have Ever
Had There.
INVOLVED
Strike Averted Three Years Ago
Again Imminent-Man Make
New Demands.

LONDON, Eept. 2.-The biggest
capital and labor struggle England has
ever had is believed to-day to be brew
ing between the British railroads and
their employees.
The men have an organization. in
Guiding every branch of the railroad
service, and the companies have re-
GENTLY effected a sort of "gentlemen's
agreement" binding upon every trunk
line and practically upon all the small
er roads in the country. AS a conse-
quence VIXEN the fight starts the en-
tire strength of the industry on each
side will be involved.
Averted in 1907.
The discomfort of the employees with
their pay and working conditions dates
back to 1907, when a widespread
strike was averted by the efforts OF
Chancellor Lloyd George, then presi-
dent of the board of trade. through
whose influence Cancellation boards
were established to settle future diff
culties. The workmen assert that these
boards have fallen so completely I'm
der c~apitaiistic influence that they are
now practically adJuncts OF the rail-
roads.
Recently there have been a number
of strikes on individual lines, but
through lack Of cooperation among
the men all have been called of on the
company's terms. The unionists de-
clare, however, that they viii act in
concert In the next struggle, having
been held back simply because their
leaders did not deem the time ripe for
q general movement.
The unions are now drafting a new
set of demands, upon the inevitable
refusal of which a general walkout
will be declared. Tn latitude of the
railways Is set out In a recent COM
mittee report, which says that the
whole of the chief systems, together
with the smaller lines, have entered
into a defensive and offensive alliance
for the safeguarding of the sharehold-
ers' interests"

WOULD IDENTIFY
EVERY CHINESE
Immigrate on Bureau Would
Give Certificates to All Celest-
tials so as to Know Them.

WASHINGTON. September a.
Congress viii be asked next winter to
amend the immigration laws SO that
the department Of m and
labor may issue a certificate of iden-
LITIGATION to every Chinese now in this
country, according to : statement
made by Commissioner OF Immigra-
ton Kefe to-day.
Although the officials realize that
| this would give certificates to thous-
ands who are not legally entitled to
| the privilege OF permanent residence
the department is willing to make the
sacrifice In order that those not pos
sessing certificates in the future may
be deported.
At the present time. despite Can
ada's head tax OF $500 on Chinese,
thousands annually enter that country
trusting that they may 'smuggle them
~,selves across the border into the
United States. This they are often
Lsuccessful in doing despite the vigil
slance OF the United States immigra-
ton officials.
