on all the railway lines of the United
Kingdom will be called out at once.
The long conference with the board
of trade proved fruitless. The represent

from their standpoint that the managers
of the railroads had broken the letter and
violated the spirit of the concilation
agreement
We have unanimously come to the
conclusion they told Sydney Buxton

only way that will now be an effective
road to peace is that the companies shall
