At Leeds the men recommended that the
findings be rejected and that a national
conference be held for the consideration
Of program for all railways.
At Glasgow dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed with the report and a general
strike was advocated. II Is quite evident
that among organized railway employees
the findings OF the commission are any
thing but satisfactory; for the report does
not give them what they wanted and the
opposition to II Is already growing
formidable.
II is freely admitted that the new
scheme for the settlement OF disputes
leaves much to be desired, but Il il a
distinct advance on that OF 1907 and the
public. which had taste OF what a gem
erai otrike means. is hoping that the
railways and their men will accept it's
terms until something better can be ar
ranged. lt Is pointed out that it Is only
destined TO serve for period of two
years, at the end OF which time II will
DO subject to revision or utter rejection.
Strike Might Mean Revolution.
a particularly alarming feature OF the
threats OF the unlonist leaders Is their
expressed determination In case OF u
strike TO invoke the aid Of the miners.
In this connection j. IA. Thomas, a
labor member OF the House OF Commons.

try and the miners combine, as suggested,
Il viii not only be strike, but rsvolu-
ton. At the present time the feeling,
temper and desire OF the mass OF railway
men Is TO take extreme action. The eoun-

tieipate the consequences"
II Is understood that half dozen COM
panies have decided on immediate re-
vision Of the scale OF wages OF their lower
grade men. and II is believed that other
big companies win swing into line. The
companies have been promised by the
government that permission will be
granted 10 raise their rates. and II is
quite likely that the public win pay the
increased wages, although as,yet no raise
has been made In passenger or freight
rates
