Rioting in Birmingham.

BIRMINGHAM, Eng, August IS
Sharp hand-to-hand fighting between the
police and strikers occurred here TINS
afternoon during attempts to restock the
wholesale markets which are practically
empty Wagons were unloaded at the
railway depot, but as soon as they ap-
peared on the streets they were charged
upon by strikers and upset. The only
wagons that got through were those
moved after the arrival Of strong police
reinforcements. The train service Is In
a chaotic state.
Living and sleeping accommodations
for these men have been provided W1thln
all the stations SO that the chances or
conflicts between the strikers and the
workers has been reduced to a minimum.
The lack Of wagons to move coal neces-
STATED the closing down of a number
of colieries, thus adding thousands TO
the ranks of the idle ones. Some of the
provincial railway staffs have been so
reduced that clerks are acting as hre-
men and guards while inspectors are
driving locomotives. In many instances
ca askets were of necessity removed from
the trains and taken to their destination
in automobiles.

Government Blamed for Strike.

The first Of a series of meetings ar
ranged by the AmalSamated Society of
Railway Servants was held outside the
Euston railway station this afternoon
and was addressed by Assistant Secretary
Thomas. He blamed the government for
the strike and strongly appealed to all
railroad men to join the great fight for
ema ncipation. The speaker deprecated
the rloting which he said placed the
strongest argument in the hands of their
enemy. He added:
Il am not going to boast without know
ing that what I am saying is SO. Scot
land is already cut off. Railway traffic in
Wales is absolutely stopped. There is no
railway communication between Bristol
and the channel ports and within another
five hours the whole railway system of
the United Kingdom will be stopped. The
railway unions are unanimous and they
mean to fight to finish
For some time past the railroad COM
pan;es have been preparing for difficulties
and engaging duplicate staffs. They
claim already to have a large number of
'understudies" in the place of strikers.

curing passage to America on outgoing
liners.
Strikers Control Railway Line.


The companies were finally compelled
10 discontinue selling tickets.
Throughout Wales. where the unions are
strong there was almost a total stoppaGe
of traffic. No trains were able to get
through to Fishguard.
AS the day progressed more serious re-
ports came in Strikers took possession
of the railway lire at LlanelE. seaport
of Wales, and succeeded in repulsing the
police who attempted TO drive them Off.
At several out -of-the-way places in Wales
signal boxes were burned. Some 100 men
employed on the Caledonfan railway went
out and efforts were made to bring about
a general strike in Scotland.
The threat to call a general strike of
teamsters throughout the country is
thought not likely TO be enforced as the
men appear satisfied with the settlement
recently reached.
An interesting incident was noted at
Easton station, where the police were
seen escorting boxes containing strike
pay from the station to the offices of the
union.
