London, Aug. 19-"The joint com- mittees have settled the strike. Vic- tory for trades unionism All men must return to work immediately.
 The foegoing telegraph, dispatched at 12:3O this morning to the eigth- teen hundred branches of the rail- road unions throughout the country tells the story of the sudden and damatic ending to Great Britain's spectacular strike.
 Whether the leaders can now con- trol these men and get them back to work, remains to be seen. It is a significant fact that in the agreement signed tonight the leaders pledged themselves merely "to use their best turn to work at once.o The leaders on both sides who signed the agree mcnt realize that the strike fever which has gripped the country has become so violent that even those who have called it forth might be unable to allay it.
 Under the agreement the railroads are to take back all the strikers with out prejudice, a consultation board, in which men will be represented equal ly with the railroads is to be appoint cd, both parties pledging themselves to abide by it's decision.
 A royal committee is to be appoint ed by the government to inquire into the mems rights to higher wages. The final paragraph of the government announcement of the appointment of this committee clearly indicates that higher wages would be granted. "The government pledges itself to propose to Parliament that owing to the increase of the cost of labor there will be a legal reason for an increase in the charges to general public"
 As if to prove, meanwhile, that the trouble is not yet over, despite the uSIGtIltui, tHt loiic NliiSo bbiiCila comes in from Llanely in Wales, where earlier in the day troops fired on the mob killing.
 "Rioting renewed, terrible scenes enacted freight sheds fired, cars burns, explosions occurred, many peo- pie killed and injured"
 From the very first the strikers have declared they would crush Lloyd George and Lloyd only as the repre- sentative executive of the government in any attempt to reach a settlement, and when it was announced that Premier Asquith had handed over the complete conduct of negotiation to the Chancellor a feeling soon grew strongly in labor circles that the basis of a fair arrangement would speedily be arrived at. It is said the men Will expect that the Chancellor shall head the royal committee, as they believe he will more thoroughly represent them than anyone in the government service. There was a scramble on the part of Americans today to get the steamships that would take them home.
 All the resources of the Northwest ern Railway and two brigades of troops were centered this afternoon in getting train from Huston Sta tion to Liverpool to connect with the Liauor Celtic, which had succeeded with the aid of warships in getting out of the hands of strikers. One or the important Transatlantic liners posted notices that passengers would have to make ther way to Liverpool as best they could. No regular pas senger list could be made up, but messengers were assured that if they could get aboard the ships there would be fair chance of getting back to America.
 A few belated refuges showed up at the Euston Station. All carried hampers of food. It was announced trat the Caronia would sail tomorrow.
