London, Aug. 1.-THE time limit of
twenty-four hours within which the
railway workers demanded that their
employers agree to consider their
grievances, expired at o'clock this
morning, but the threatened strike OH
the railroads of the United Kingdom
failed to materalize. Instead, repre-.
.sentatives of four railway societies in
yolved went into conference with the
board of trade. Traffic proceeded as
usual No formal orders were given
the union men by their leaders, but
apparently it was generally under
stood truce would be observed while
negotiations with the board Of trade
continued.
Officials of the railwaymen's Socie-
ties arrived in London from Liverpool
today and Immediately met the the
Offices of the Amalgamated Society Of
Railway servants, where they threw
down the gauntlet to their employers
by adopting the following resolution:
This joint committee hereby ex-
press our determination not to settle
our present dispute unless the lock-
out imposed on our fellow workers be-
cause of their support Of the railway
men in Liverpool and elsewhere is re-
moved"
Later the union leaders, numbering
forty, met with the board Of trade Of
.ficials.
Passenger and freight trains from
all other stations were running on
their regular schedules this afternoon
There was much uneasiness among the
men, large proportion Of whom were
reluctant to strike but feared they
might be forced to.
Soldiers Guard Depot.
At Liverpool, traffic was also main
tanned, but the stations in that city
were guarded by soldiers with fixed
bayonets.
The armored cruiser Antrim has
been sent to the Mersey to protect the
shipping there. The trains to and
from Manchester were generally sus
pended. The transatlantic shipping
companies plan to coal their ships al
American ports for the round trip, but
as in the case of the Lusitania, which
scheduled to sail Saturday but has
been unable to obtain crew or coal
are likely to have trouble keeping
their crews when the vessels reach
England.
Tom Mann, the strike leader, sum
married. the mems demands as fol
lows:
"A general increase of wages of sc
cents a week, work week of fifty
four hours and the recognition of the
unions"
The railway managers strongly OBJ
iect to granting this recognition where
it involves dealing on their part witt
representatives of men other thar
their own employees
