WILL END The
LONDON STRIKE
Outlook Promising Today for
an Early Settlement Of
Trouble
STREET TRAFFIC IN CITY
Is STILL PARALYZED
By The United Press.


LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE outlook for
immediate settlement of the strike
which has paralyzed all traffic and
freight trade for the past forty-eight
hours, was bright today. The employ
ing federation announced that they
had accepted the agreement with the
teamsters and that the men can go
back to work. IL is also expected
that the troubles of the lightmen will
be settled almost Immediately. In
view of the favorable outlook, the
monster parade planned for this af-
ternoon as a protest against the us
ing of troops TO break the strike was
expected to be abandoned.
Street traffic was still paralyzed
and the city was only slightly relieved
Of the pressing need of food supplies.
The price of ice has trebled and with
the intense heat a serious situation
prevails in scores of hospitals. The
families of strikers are in dire dis
tress, tens of thousands being report
ed on the verge of starvation. Pawn
shops are refusing further loans be-
cause their shelves are overcrowded.

LORDS PASS
VETO BILL
English Higher House Votes
to CurtaiI its Own
Power
MOBILES THUS AVOID THE
CREATION OF NEW PEERS
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
LONDON, Aug. 11.-With the pas
sage OF the Veto bill in the House of
Lords last night, England stands at
the door of a new political era in
which democracy is free; where the
selfishness of caste is shattered and
the federal and the feudal sword
broken. This is the opinion express
ed today by Radical leaders.
The general sentiment of the Con-
servatiyes is that when the Lords ac-
cepted the Veto bill by 131 votes to
ia, they accepted the lesser of two
evils and are teml orarily putting up
with a condition they expected speed
lily to change. They predict that the
veto measure will finally be repudiated
by the electorate.
Surrender OF Power.
The climax of the debate came when
Viscount Morley declared;
every vote against my motion not
10 insist on the amendments Is a
vote given in favor of large prompt
creation of peers"
The vote of the Lords was declared
in reality a vote TO protect Britain's
aristocracy at the expense Of its pow
err" The Lords rather than open their
exclusive circles" to cOmmoners gave
into the hands of the people the arbi-
trary powers which they exercised
for hundreds Of years.
The government measure as it new
stands provides that money bills shall
become law without the assent Of tho
Lords.
The Veto bill becomes a Law when
the King afflxes his signature which
he Is expected to do next week. Par
lament will adjourn August rs to re-
assemble in October TO complete the
routine work OF the session.

TALK ECONOMIES
WITHOUT BROWN
Arden Club Not Disturbed
This Time by the Phil
OSOphiCaI Anarchist

Peace resigned at Arden last even-
ing when the Arden Economic Club
held its regular meeting. No heated
arguments were INDUCED in and while
there was a large attendance George
Brown. the philosophical anarchist,
Kept to the bushes. The meeting was
Bold in the open air theatre.
Brown attempted to speak at a
hrevious meeting and as a result
e9rved time in the Workhouse. 1t
was thought he would attempt to
speak again last night and few out
siders were on hand, but they were
disappointed.
The session was presided over by
DR.. j. Il. Moore, president of the club,
who introduced William L. Rose, Of
Philadelphia, as the speaker of the
evening, who took for his subject,
political Econmy," following out the
principles of Henry Georges PRO
gress and Poverty"
Mr.. Ross said, in giving his reason
why wages did not increase the same
as the improvements in the labor
saving machines, "As it became easier
to troduce wealth, due to labor saw
ing inventions, the more we had TO
pay for access to the land from which
all our wealth is drawn. The speaker
used the word land" in the broadest
sense TO take in all the natural re-
sources. AS a remedy Mr.. Ross adj
yocates the abolition Of all other taxes
except the tax on land according to
value.
Mr.. Ross spoke Of Herbert Spen-
GERS trouble i'm England with the ori-
gin of land titles. He told of the
speeches made in Parliament on the
same subject
