THE ENGLISH STRIKE is SETTLED
Differences viii be Adjusted by
Joint Commission of Five, Named
by Men and Managers.

London, Eng.-The settlement OF
the strike was reached at a confer
ence between David Lloyd George, the
chancellor OF the exchequer, and the
executives Of the mems societies. The
labor leaders said that the men would
return to work at once
A joint committee of five members,
composed Of two representatives OF
the railway companies, two of the
men and a non-partisan chairman,
will be appointed to investigate the
working of the Cancellation act of
1907, which the men assert is the
root Of all their grievances. This de,
vice overcomes the mems objections
to a royal COMMISSION, which they
contend always has been, in practice,
a synonym for delay.
So far as technical advantages in
the compromise goes, 1t appears to
be in mems favor, particularly as
the managers consent to meet their
representatives.

Topeka, Kansas.-The old volcano
that once sputtered and fumed in
