LONDON, Aug. 12.-"The,' re-
suit of the London strike is the
greatest labor triumph of the CEN
tury." 81 -. -= 4Ts,
In a statement to the United
Press here today, Ben Tillett,. the
leader of the lockers, teamsters,
carmen and other laborers of the
worlds greatest city, to whose
handling of the great strike all
cocede the victory was largely
due, told what their winning will
mean for the toilers.
"More than 100000 workers;YP
Tillett continued, will benefit by
the increased wages and reduced
hours they have won, giving them,
for the first time in their lives, a
space of time for recreation. Here
tofore they have toiled all their
working hours.
"But the demonstration we
have given the world of the alb
solute power of the .wage-earner
is more important far than even
the betterment In the lot of the
London workman. The corona
ton strike was a mighty protest
against the coronation spectacle,
with its waste of millions, which,
properly expended, would have
greatly mitigated the wretched-
ness of London's poor. The 10y
atty and discipline of the organic
ed workmen was superb. Many
of them report that fights were
deliberately planned by the police
as an excuse for the importation
of troops. The orderly conduct
of the strike was remarkable,
considering the number engaged
and the aggravations to which the
workingmen were hourly exposed.
LONDON, Aug. 12.-Jubilant
because the peace efforts of the
Board of Trade have gained for
them most of their demands,
thousands of the strikers who
have paralyzed London's trade,
returned to work today.

The government took the posi-
ton that each shipment constitut-

tention. Fines imposed on that

the feasibility of number of
methods submitted to him.
The government will drop the
suits now pending when convinc-

woman in a few strides, Mrs.
Garramone slashed open the VIC
TINS throat with a huge bread
knife. The murderess then suck
ed the warm blood from her
streaming fingers and proceeded
to rob the still quivering body.
Mrs. Fergione had come up by
this time. and the two women

into a deep ravine. Descending to
the depths of the chasm, they
covered the body with earth.

rible tragedy, are today seeking
the spot where the body was
buried. Mrs. Garramone. from
her cell in prison, screamed with
anger when told of the confession,
and denounced It as a lie.
